If anyone has doubts about Obama’s vision for America and the world, and the potential to rally in the disenfranchised and involve the apathetic, check this out: (inspiring, with the exception of the overused and empty "we want change" line)

I often carry around old newspapers whose op-eds or articles I hadn’t read.  Some times I may be dumb enough to bring one copy across half a dozen trips before getting to it, only to realize I was carrying dead weight. Not just now, when I caught up with last week’s op-ed page from the [...]

Seems like Obama and Clinton learned the lesson about the public’s displeasure with so much acrimony and negative attacks, and their debate tonight was remarkable in positive energy, congeniality and professionalism. With all their differences, Obama and Clinton lifted each other, which was inspiring and energizing.  When Wolf Blitzer asked his last question, whether they [...]

One of the best ideas to come to our world in a long time comes courtesy of Shai Agassi and his American-Israeli company, Better Place.  He realized that instead of worrying about the manufacturing of electric cars, he could accelerate their acceptance if he focused on the infrastructure network.  And he created a model for [...]

Barack Obama’s South Carolina Victory speech is one of the most inspirational and powerful – and sincere – I have heard in a long time.  It is also the right message that our nation and our world desperately need.  After months of researching all candidates, and after seeing the way they have conducted their campaigns, [...]

A revolution inside the human brain is taking place far beyond our capacity to understand. What we call "A.D.D." or attention-deficit-disorder will become the norm rather than the exception, if it hasn’t already. Our brains used to de-construct and decompress during leisurely walks between work and home, but if you see people walking nowadays, odds [...]

My friend Martin Varsavsky wrote an insightful note on the dangers of credit abuse, on America’s over-reliance on credit to shore up the global economy, and the lessons that we can draw from Argentina’s experience.
