Wally Wallington is a retired carpenter who over ten years ago came up with a system to move heavy objects without using any type of machinery, only his whit. In fact, it uses the strength of only one man.
 
By heavy object I don’t mean a big pile of bricks or some steel beems. No. Wallington is capable of moving things as amazing as a one ton concrete block or a neighbour’s entire barn (watch video).
 
The system basically consists of applying torque from different angles using, amazingly enough, only pieces of wood and gravity.
 
Wallington assures that systems like these must have been used in historical constructions such as Stonehenge, and to prove it he’s been dedicated lately to building a replica in his own yard.
 
If this isn’t proof that whit is the most powerful tool there is, I don’t know what is.
 
Yet another reason to be inlove with physics.

According to Wired, Yahoo’s adoption of OpenID is a huge victory for the OpenID foundation.

Until now, despite support from larger sites like AOL and Plaxo, OpenID has remained largely a tool of the geek-elite, but Yahoo’s announcement is set to change that since it provides even those Yahoo users who’ve never heard of OpenID a simple way to use it. And that in turn gives startup sites an even greater incentive to support OpenID logins.

Right now there are roughly 120 million OpenID accounts. Add Yahoo’s 248 million users worldwide, and OpenID is set to triple in size.

Fred Wilson, a.k.a. “A VC” on the need for a great Chief Technology Officer:

Great managers are hard to find in any line of work. But managing developers is even harder. The better the developer the harder they are to manage. I assume its a bit like managing high maintenance entertainers. The best developers are artists who are often moody, are anarchists who have bursts of creativity and equally long periods of uselessness. They are strong willed people who will fight with their colleagues over anything and everything. The people who have mastered the art of managing these kinds of people are a rare breed and every great technology-based business needs one of them.

Wilson invests in start up tech companies, but the same can be said for the agency business. We’re all in communications technology today, as well as marketing communications. Providing strong leadership for the code monkeys is good stuff, but the ability to translate the thinking into English for one’s team members and clients is arguably even more important.

Street Art rocks.
Technology rocks.
Artificial Dummies… rock.
