The Problem is Not the Problem
People are fascinated with getting ahead and being successful in their personal and professional lives. Generally, this has to do with their ability to solve problems, identify obstacles in their path, and figure out how to move past them. Regardless of profession, each of us is on the hook to solve problems ranging from the trivial to the intractable. But “problem” is an overused word. We assign the label to almost every imperfect situation we encounter, then deal with all of them in roughly the same way: either we avoid them or tackle them head-on. Then we wonder what happened when, lo and behold, our kneejerk "solutions" turn against us. For all our efforts to conquer the skill, for all the value we place on those who do it well, we too often ignore a critical truth about problem-solving: problems are not always problems. More accurately, there is a range of problem types, and a range of different strategies appropriate for handling them. We just can’t tell the difference. In this talk, recognized design thinker Harry Max reveals a new model for diagnostic thinking, one that will forever change the way you envision problem solving.

Rainy and boring Sunday leads to crazy ideas, Tried the EOS remote utility for the first time. Its interesting to operate camera through Computer, i liked it :)
One of my major intentions for 2011 is to launch a visualization blog to inspire and connect with a tribe of like-minded people who share a passion for discovering their personal calling. Today marks the birth of that intention and I hope that you will join me and my fellow tribe members in our attempts to make a collective dent in the universe. I began this journey two years ago. Along the way I've had diverse experiences and connected with several people who have inspired me to create my own personal GeniusMap (below) to guide me on my path to infinite potential. This map will serve as the framework for future blog posts on various topics from the Spiritual, Mental, Emotional and Physical pillars.
Our son Adam Florin gave a fascinating talk about generative music at Algorithmic Art Assembly, hosted by Gray Area Art + Technology. He started with a quick demo of Patter, his music composition software, then took us on an illuminating journey through the many people and ideas which inspired him to create his cool freeform generative sequencer.
Brian Eno, who coined the phrase “generative music”, recently likened it to gardening -- but the material practice is just as much rooted in centuries of formal aesthetics, predictive statistics and industrial automation. How can we negotiate the tension between organic and and the mechanical in the algorithmic arts?
Adam has created some amazing digital tools and art exhibits in that space. It was great to hear what he's learned in this fascinating field, exploring the intersection of human and machine creativity. And to top it off, he gave this talk on his birthday, which was the best present of all!

Yep, that's me in the middle holding the giant pencil:)
I use that giant pencil (or marker) to make all that murky gray stuff on the left clear and colorful for you so you can get it, grab it, and go for it...and help others do the same.
Ever wonder what it’s like to be a designer at Google? During this fast-paced, highly collaborative day we explored the tools and techniques Google designers use to create some of the world’s leading products.

This man was deep in thought and definitely working through something personal. He didn't move for the longest period of time.

Donut Bunny makes a quick field assessment...and concludes opposable thumbs would be really useful right about now. Donut wishes to be in the same pen as Miss Minnie. Although I don't mind, Minnie will have more than a little something to say about that.
We celebrated the Whole Earth Catalog’s 50th Anniversary with many of its creators on October 13, 2018, at Fort Mason in San Francisco. The event was hosted by Stewart Brand, Ryan Phelan, Danica Remy and an amazing group of volunteers, including yours truly. In the afternoon, Whole Earth alumni gathered in the atrium of the Art Institute for a series of lightning talks featuring community members like Larry Brilliant, Carolyn Garcia, Bruce Sterling and Wavy Gravy. The creative minds in attendance all had one thing in common: they gave access to tools and ideas to help people bring their dreams to life -- and change the world together. Many thanks to all the folks who organized and participated in this event! It was a wonderful way to honor a culture that helped change the world and that may inspire many others for years to come.
