Beyond what eyes can see

Leco — Sat, 25 Jun 2011 16:20:04 +0000

Sometimes we need help to see things that our naked eyes can’t see… either because they are too big, too small, too dark or move to fast.
The first video is about stars and was filmed using stop motion.

The second is about fast small things… vibrations!

Queen Mary 2 in stop-motion

Its been a almost two years since I enjoyed a trip onboard Cunard‘s Queen Mary 2 through the norwegian fjords, but I stumbled upon this video which was a nice reminder. Although not much of the cruiser is visible, it is an interesting take.

Cheers,

Can introverts lead?

Interesting interview done by the Harvard Business Review to Francesca Gino about a study of leadership with introverted and extroverted people. Although I admit parts of the study sound a little dodgy…

Opposite to the general stereotype, introverted people tend to be better leaders as they are more receptive to listening to ideas. However I think the most important part is to learn to adapt to the needs required depending on the situation.
So I guess the next time my boss tells me I should be less introvert, I will tell him to consider making me the leader and him the follower

The World in Data

Very valuable presentation by Hans Rosling from Gapminder World at last Google’s Zeitgeist event talking about the development and convergence of the world, all based on data. Very interesting, fun, and worth every minute (it is about 25min long) although the recording could be better done by the people at google. I also recommend visiting the Gapminder website, which has very interesting and cultivating presentations and practical tools to compare more data than you can imagine.

I hope you enjoy, and learn something!! hehe
