Barney's BlogBurgerBlowout

In SF last night. Newbies nibbling fries on the periphery of geek talk and [behest of Mr Winer] ancient drinking songs. Especially intriguing to me (aside from putting faces to names and discovering new ebook publishing channels) is Dan Bricklin's new XML approach to small business directories.

Faites vos jeux. Rien ne vas plus.

Global Warming: All That Hot Air Must Be Having an Effect. The evolution of the language in global warming reports reflects a shift toward certainty at least on the question: are people contributing to global warming? By Andrew C. Revkin. [New York Times: Science]

The White House uses lack of "certainty" as cause for delay -- and one the the more damaging examples of US unilateralism. Smart business leaders -- who live with the daily challenge of making large investments in the face of uncertainty -- are investing in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, often profitably.

Virtual Museums

In Virtual Museums, an Archive of the World. The American Museum of Natural History is creating a searchable online catalog of the museum's 30 million items. By James Gorman. [New York Times: Science]

"setting the scene for the future of business management"

"Striking the balance", a new report from the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, addresses the business benefits of sustainability reporting: Sustainable development reporting can help companies to mitigate risk, protect their corporate brands, and gain competitive advantage... and help turn the recent wave of boardroom scandals into renewed boardroom trust.

(Natural Logic works with companies to turn sustainability reporting into a real time management tool that provides timely operating feedback for operating managers. See CSR Power Tools and forthcoming article in Green at Work.)
