Lessons Learned from Failure

Tim O'Reilly recently posted on linkedin about Failure, and has
continued the story on the O'Reilly Radar. Read both articles and learn
that wisdom often comes from mistakes, not necessarily the vision that
sets you on fire or the goals you're aiming for.

O'Reilly Webcasts: Meet Experts Online For Free! 

Data and Ethics: Etiquette and Law for an Always-On World. 
Presented by Alistair Croll.    
Tuesday, November 5
7:00am PT, 10:0pm ET 

The human race is colonizing a second world - one with limitless
connectivity, eternal memory, and frictionless access to information.
It doesn't behave like the world we've lived in for millennia, and it
demands new rules and norms. We need to re-think what's right, what's
polite, and what's legal in this new world. Unfortunately, legislation
is decades behind reality, and online citizens are minting new policies
for incrimination, anonymity, perversion, and community. In this online
conference, we'll look at where ethics and the law are headed in an
always-on, data-driven society.

Join us for this free hands-on webcast. You can enjoy this informative 
presentation from the comfort of your computer chair!
