Before launching Fail Forward, Ashley worked in Cairo with the United Nations Environment Programme and as a management consultant in Vancouver, Canada. In both lines of work, Ashley saw a fear of failure inhibit innovation, adaptation, and general growth. In response, she launched both AdmittingFailure.com and the consulting firm, Fail Forward, to spark a shift in how civil society perceives and talks about failure, and to help organizations learn, innovate and build resilience. Since early 2011 Ashley has worked with organizations – from grantmakers and nonprofits to government and private sector companies – to use failure as a learning tool and culture driver to support and foster innovation. She is well known for building the Organizational Learning Team at Engineers Without Borders Canada, and continuing to lead the development of their annual Failure Report.
Her work on failure has received coverage in a wide range of media and news outlets, including the Stanford Social Innovation Review, The Guardian, Harvard University’s Hauser Center for NonProfit Organizations, TED talks, BBC World, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Globe and Mail and, most recently in interview with Arlene Dickinson on CBC. Ashley was also the 2013 recipient of the prestigious Harvard Business Review and McKinsey Innovating Innovation Award.
Fail Forward is a mission-driven consulting organization founded by award-winning innovator Ashley Good, that aims to foster a culture of intelligent failure on both the individual and organizational level. By creating a safe space to openly discuss failure, and offering clients a set of tools and practices to deal with failure intelligently, Fail Forward helps organizations to turn failure into a catalyst for adaptation, innovation, and resilience. Founded in 2011, Fail Forward works with a variety of business and non-profit organizations, including Engineers Without Borders Canada and The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), a specialized agency of the United Nations. Ashley Good is a sought-after speaker who has traveled throughout Europe, Scandinavia and North America to share her ideas and practices on intelligent failure.

This is why buses are never, ever a substitute for subways or light rail. This is the MBTA Silver Line, a fancy dual-mode electric/CNG bus rapid transport system. The we are trapped about 100 feet away from the entrance to the busway by a snarl of traffic. We haven't moved in 45 minutes.
Transportation FAIL.

If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
— 1 Corinthians 13 (NIV)
This was my first failed lift or shall I say the emulsion failed to stick to the watercolor paper. I did not realize the emulsion was not secure and when I moved the dried photo / paper the photo cracked. I latherd some gel medium on the photo in hopes to afix the image and repair the cracks (you can see my brush strokes). Not 100% sure why the emulsion did not stick. I have done a bunch of lifts and this was the first time I have encountered this issue . Anyone else have any similar issues?
This is why people gain weight on vacation.
Why MacroMonday? Because a few of these little things will give you a great big....

Blogged here.
First attempt to render a snapshot for a given date : my first thought was that the valid date ranges for ways are not right and overlap. Detailed checking for several dates showed no duplicate way_ids, but examination of one of the railway lines showed that the nodes had not been sorted properly before building the linestring.
More investigation required.
Hmmmmmmm ???
website design that looks like it was done by my 10 year old daughter ?
web design for paedophiles ?
What happened here? My father gave some little kid $20.00 to shoot the picture?
Has 1985 written on the back, so we will accept that as the year taken. We have no other choice.
I have no idea where this was taken. I can see water in the background.
Another eclipse photo from last night.
Well over 100 astrophysics students took part in the event with over twelve scopes in use. The evening started out mostly cloudy with clearing skies on the Mira Costa campus and it was quite breezy. The classes lasted a heartly 3 1/2 hours and watched until totality ended.
This shot was taken at 9:21pm with numerous stars of Cancer in the background (7th mag orange-red double star nearing the eastern limb to be occulted a few minutes later).
Many more images to be processed!
I always shoot RAW and up until now I always shot with Nokon gear only. Hence I have only used Niks excellent (its a love or hate type of software) Capture NX to process my RAW files. Recently I bought a Fuji X100 so with that I needed to search out a RAW processing program for it. Natural choice was Adobe Lightroom. New version just out, many revisions and also hugely popular.
I installed the demo version and went ahead and learnt how to use it. While it had many features that I would never use, the main thing of converting RAW files worked well and I achieved good results without too much effort. Lightroom though was very slow on my not so new but not so old system. But I could live with it.
I looked at the pricing and in Australia its sold for $187 ex GST (ie download version). In USA its $149. Being an Aussie I get charged 25% over the USA price. Not cool. I tried a quick method to fudge it and "pretend" I am American but that failed. I know I can setup proxies, mail addresses to get around this but I didn't feel like going to these lengths just to buy a product.
In the end I gave up on Lightroom and tried different RAW processors. None really caught my eye too much, plus they were quite expensive. It wasn't until late last week I came across Corel After Shot Pro. Based on the old Bible Pro, I decided to give it a go. Impressive, very impressive. Not as polished as Lightroom, but also not as bloated, and much, much faster. The best bit is that I pay same price whether I am in Sydney, San Francisco or Hong Kong. And the better bit is that the price of $53 USD (using coupon code "ARTCOREL10" for 10% Off ) is about $80 cheaper than the Adobe stuff.
Fail Adobe. And I hope this enquiry will result in some changes. Some Adobe execs need to realise that if you buy a coffee in Sydney they will be charged the same price as the Aussie dude standing next to them or the Chinese woman sitting reading the paper sipping her coffee...
