The Future of Email  (techdrivenlife)

Email has changed our lives.  But there are better ways to do things.  Sometimes, it just doesn't make sense to keep emailing back and forth documents to dozens of people to get it revised or updated. It clogs up the email system and so many people get lost on tracking version control.  There are better ways.  Here is an excellent interview on how Bill Gates see where the industry is going, together with Ray Ozzie, Microsoft's newest tech guru when Microsoft purchased Groove Networks to improve on collaborationware <more>....

World's Fastest Man  (On Life )

Jamaican Asafa Powell officially broke the world record for 100 meters when he ran the 3689388_36_2.jpgdistance in 9.77 seconds on June 14, 2005.  He eclipsed the world record of Tim Montgomery's previous attempt of 9.78 seconds set on September 14, 2002, and the 9.79 seconds set by Maurice Greene of the US established on June 16, 1999.

It took almost 3 years to better the record 0.1%, which took almost another three years previously to break by another 1/100 of a second.

The 100 meters was ran in 10 seconds flat by Armin Mary of West Germany in June 21, 1960.  That was before I was born. That means after thousands of attempts worldwide the last 45 years , the world record has for 100 meters has improved by 0.22 seconds, which is probably the time it takes to bat an eyelash.

Trying to score excellence is now a matter of being a split hundred seconds faster than the competition.  Ditto for business and in many endeavors.
