Future Flight
Today, the future of flight became the present.
On this day in 1975, a Tupolev Tu-144 went into service carrying mail and freight between Moscow and Almaty (the largest city in Kazakhstan, nearly 2,500 miles away). It was the world’s first super-sonic transport, or SST, capable of flying past the speed of sound, and thus able to make the trip to Almaty in less than two hours. Such an…

Sol Invictus
Today, Sol Invictus was honored.
Third century Roman Emperor Aurelian gave the Empire its last gasp of unification, reversing hundreds of years of dissolution that had included wars and assassinations, economic collapse, and various deadly plagues. Rome had divided itself into at least three competing states, and its people gathered into much smaller, walled cities (in anticipation of the Dark…

Would van Gogh have kept his ear if he'd had a Twitter account?
More than 18 insurance companies offer policyholders the choice of putting a device in their cars that wirelessly transmits real-time data, which can lead to lower rates for good drivers. It seems like a logical extension of the calculations insurance companies have always made on policies, but too few participants in these programs are aware of the trade-offs they're making, according to a story by Jodi Mohrmann at News4Jax.com:“But before you give your car insurance company the green light on tracking you, privacy rights experts say you should ask three critical questions...
Today, good works were recognized.Dominic of Osma practiced what he preached while he was a theology student in Palencia, Spain in the late 12th century, giving away all of his worldly possessions so he could focus on helping victims of a recent famine. When the religious sect of Cathars (or Albigensians) in the South of France were condemned by the Church a few years later for their belief in two gods and lots of Eastern mysticism, Dominic thought that his life of simple monastic austerity would resonate with the Cathars (they also rejected wordly goods), so perhaps he could help resolve the
Frank Zappa was a social media phenomenon before there such things as social media.
Today, enlightened blogging had social influence.Printing was a slow and expensive proposition in the 1700s. Gutenberg’s press had stayed all but unchanged since he’d invented it in 1440. A communications medium called a pamphlet had been around since Gutenberg’s time -- the word derived from Pamphilus Seu Amore, a popular 12th century Latin poem -- and described any small and thus inexpensive book (-et is a diminutive ending). By the 1500s, their distribution was widespread enough for Queen Elizabeth to want to tax them. Pamphlets were regularly slanderous, sex-crazed, or o
Today, a destiny became manifest.The Louisiana Purchase was formally completed today in 1803, doubling the size of the United States with almost 830,000 square miles that cost it all of about 18 bucks per acre (the land would eventually constitute 14 new states). Why the sweetheart deal? Napoleon had recently failed to reimpose slavery on the Haitians, which meant he’d lost his lucrative sugar income. He also worried about having to defend New Orleans against the British, whom he’d been fighting because, well, that’s what Europeans did. So he abandoned his dreams of a global
If you ask most marketers, the ever-expanding role of the procurement function at most large brands has made it harder for them to do their jobs (commandeering agency selection, for instance). A recent study from IBM reveals a strategy that might find currency in 2015, however: If you can’t beat’ [...]
Behind the blather about free speech lurks the more important revelations of the Sony hack: The end of anonymity, and the tyranny of the Dark Cloud.First off, enough with the crocodile tears about the First Amendment, which precludes the American government from establishing an official religion, and protects citizens’ right to complain about anything else it might try to do. Speech of the commercial variety has never been “free” in Hollywood, any more than it is anywhere else.Granted, the PGA didn’t threaten to blow up the makers of Happy Gilmore, but...
Communications satellites disrupted history.
Historically, "better tech" rarely guaranteed market success.
If tech won’t ‘forget’ things, can rules keep humans from ‘remembering’ them?
Shared belief is a powerful social medium.
The brilliance of the American Constitution is in what it doesn't say, not in what it does.
Since I’m going to the Consumer Electronics Show in a few weeks, I’ve been receiving a lot of PR pitches about new products that will debut there. It seems that almost every device is innovative, as if the label is more meaningful than any particular technical attribute or improvement. Innovation is [...]
