Cossart's Cartography: What you don't know doesn't exist (?)
http://www.jbcossart.com/2009/05/what-you-dont-know-doesnt-exist.html
Mapping out thoughts and ideas on innovation and execution. Monday, May 18, 2009. What you don't know doesn't exist (? If we can understand the nature of the building blocks, than we can understand the larger structures or organisms they create. Any thing is the sum of its parts. And so we ignore the anti-oxidants in fresh fruits and focus on getting the necessary vitamins. - We focus on rising real estate prices and stock markets and ignore rising debt levels. Taking a holistic approach, as oppose to a ...

Mapping out thoughts and ideas on innovation and execution. Monday, May 18, 2009. Tiramisu for two million. I made Tiramisu for a wedding (about 40 people) a few weeks ago and made a little stop action film. Just for fun. I got the recipe from this sweet site: cooking for engineers.

Cossart's Cartography: February 2009
http://www.jbcossart.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Mapping out thoughts and ideas on innovation and execution. Monday, February 9, 2009. Sources of Influence: the story. Wouldn't it be interesting to read the 5 books that have done the most to shape the way people like Einstein, Barack, your Boss, or your close friends think? You would then have both a list of some of the top books to read and a schematic of the evolution of personal philsophies and principals. Now that is interesting. Sunday, February 8, 2009. Ideas in the open. And one of my brothers.

Cossart's Cartography: The Presentation Flu
http://www.jbcossart.com/2009/05/improving-presentations.html
Mapping out thoughts and ideas on innovation and execution. Monday, May 11, 2009. Presenting is a skill/art that everyone seems to need but that is rarely taught. Across my travels over the past month, I attended several entrepreneurship minded events including the Cornell Entrepreneur Conference. A great get together of entrepreneurs, investors, academics and wanna-be's of all three (myself included). And so, I attended a fair number of presentations, largely back to back. Vary tone of voice and emotions.

http://www.jbcossart.com/2009/05/charms-of-medium-of-communication.html
Mapping out thoughts and ideas on innovation and execution. Thursday, May 21, 2009. The Charms of the Medium (of communication). So as most of you know, my new favorite gadget is Amazon's Kindle. I can't help but talk about it and how much it has changed the way I read, think and generally access literature. Good job Amazon. talk about creating a product that connects deeply with its user's turning them each into little marketers (that work for free). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Cossart's Cartography: April 2009
http://www.jbcossart.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Mapping out thoughts and ideas on innovation and execution. Thursday, April 9, 2009. After helping my sister raise money for one of her projects (here's her blog). I've been thinking about why people donate to various causes (why X and not Y, and why X in the first place). It's an interesting problem as we all receive requests for donations and (if you're like me) donate only to particular set of them. It seems like there are largely two drivers:. They believe very strongly in the cause. Granted that thi...

Cossart's Cartography: Thinking in Numbers
http://www.jbcossart.com/2009/06/thinking-in-numbers.html
Mapping out thoughts and ideas on innovation and execution. Friday, June 5, 2009. I've started following this little start-up called Wolfram Alpha. A while back, let it fall off my radar screen for a bit and now have recently started poking around again after they've resurfaced (they've also made it into mainstream press with an article in The Economist. And I've been quite impressed with what I found. For those of you who haven't heard of them yet, think Google for all things numbers. Sci-fi sandbox gam...
