Council uses phone apps to give power to the people

Council uses phone apps to give power to the people: "THE City of Sydney will soon open its planning decisions to the digital masses, with mobile phone apps for citizens to send feedback to the council directly from the sites of proposed developments.

''Consultation apps'' to be available within a year are the next step in a digital engagement strategy, which shows how digital tools could revolutionise citizen involvement in government decision making.

More than 30,000 individuals have already visited a website specifically set up to invite comment on decisions before the council. The number of site visits swamps the 50 or so stalwarts who regularly turn up to community forums."

Huge 100Mbps demand: 44% of NBN users take top speed | Delimiter

Huge 100Mbps demand: 44% of NBN users take top speed | Delimiter: "news 44 percent of NBN customers signed up so far have opted for the company’s fasted 100Mbps speed tier, the National Broadband Network Company revealed this week, as evidence continues to accumulate that Australians will overwhelmingly pay for the fastest broadband speeds available if given the chance.

NBN Co’s corporate plan published in December 2010 previously predicted that in the early years of its fibre rollout, the majority (52%) of customers who signed up for its fibre services would have picked the entry level speed tier it’s offering — a 12Mbps service which is slower even than current theoretical ADSL2+ speeds. The remainder were to be split largely between the next speed tranches of 25Mbps (17%) ad 50Mbps (23%), with only a small number (8%) taking the highest speed 100Mbps plans."

Driveway Member Gratitude | Libdrone's Thoughts and Musings: "Growing up in New Orleans,  my grand mother’s house  was unique– it was the only house on the block that had a driveway and a garage. "

Interesting bit on driveway with my memories of semi-detached dwellings in my student days exactly as you described – clear shot through the dwelling. In semi retirement as throughout my life, belonging has been important to me, for the community it brings and the mindful activity required. That in the main, despite some turbulent times, my efforts have been appreciated I am also grateful.

Managing Me - The holy trinity of trust, confidence and reputation

Managing Me - The holy trinity of trust, confidence and reputation
Trust, confidence and reputation – can there be three more valuable qualities in business? How then, can leaders understand these qualities, and nurture and protect them – and what happens if they do not.

Leadership - How to foster disruptive innovation

Leadership - How to foster disruptive innovation: "A new year represents a chance to leave the past behind and pick up the leadership pace for a more prosperous future.  It’s the time for leaders to balance the tensions between units responsible for achieving high profit for today and units charged with creating more exciting businesses and products for tomorrow.
An inquiry from a finance company about disruptive innovation made me curious and led me to look around.  There are some local consultants who offer to relieve leaders of their concerns with strategic management towards a more predictable future, but there’s a dearth of enablers of truly disruptive innovation."

Exploring the history of the Internet « Mind Candy

Exploring the history of the Internet « Mind Candy: "It is a good time to look back on the developmental history of the Internet and the people that are responsible for creating it, and no, Al Gore is not one of them. The concept of the Internet and a large portion of its development primarily is credited to three people. While the idea did originate at a conference, it was Vannevar Bush, Norbet Wiener, and Marshall McLuhan who were the driving force behind the development of the internet. A special nod does need to go to the conference which planted the seed for all of this, the 1956 Dartmouth Artificial Intelligence Conference."
