This time next month I will be in Sao Paolo. This will be my first trip to Brazil. I’m looking for innovative companies to work with on informal learning and innovation. Or well-heeled friends (sorry I neglected you until now). Or advice on what I can’t leave without doing.

Time after time in my recent workshops on web-enabled informal learning, I found myself using my own sites as examples of learning technologies. For example, we’d walk through the Informal Learning blog to look at an RSS feed, an internal search engine, scanning the 100 most recent posts, a Creative Commons license, and so on. I began showing things like my research tools page , which has always been public but was hidden in plain sight.

On Bastille Day (July 14), I’ll be attending the Future of Media Summit at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View from 1:00 pm to 9:00 pm.

Topics include future of t.v. and video, future of privacy and personal advertising, global media strategies. and future of journalism.

This time around, he blames the net in general and Google in particular for putting his mind in such a jumpy state that he can no longer read books cover to cover.

First of all, I do not respond personally to unsolicited email. Spam is generally an intrusion on my privacy, a time-waster, and a general nuisance. Before inquiring about my needs, do your homework. When someone, perhaps this is you, tells me they want to understand my needs, I expect them to begin by finding out a few things for themselves from openly available information.
