Currently up at 3:54am reading all the biographies for next week's DLD conference in Munich...

...and there are nearly 150 speakers for DLD (Digital. Life. Design), which seems like the European equivalent of TED (Technology. Entertainment. Design). They even have similar logos. I'll report back when I finish. It's a serious list with everyone from Jimmy Wales to Jonathan Harris to John Naisbitt to Reid Hoffman, Aaron Koblin, Al Seckel, Hubert Burda, Jason Kilar, Andrew Robertson, David Kirkpatrick and Reinhold Messner - and even another guy who has reached both poles - seriously... let me check, Obama may be doing this one...

Is Infinite Wisdom Dead?

Well, that's not the kind of idea that can really die is it? Can we say that we're in Beta? And now retooling? Exactly. One partner is off learning that no amount of money can make a dream come true, and how to just show up everyday and do the work, and the other partner is learning that being right doesn't mean the same as being successful. Will Infinite Wisdom survive. Of course it will. Because the sum of our parts are not always equal to the whole - and once we learn that, we'll be good to go.

Alone?

Never.
