"The otaku, the passionate obsessive, the
    information age's embodiment of the
   connoisseur, more concerned with the
  accumulation of data than of objects..."

how are we responding now?

we've gotta do:            iPads
                   social media
                   participation
                     second life

                             etc.
Clay Shirky-
          "IT as a Core Academic Competence"

"...a choice between conserving your mission
              and conserving your practices."
Identify what's
crippling, vs. what's
              merely
    uncomfortable.
Change up (the way
you strategize about)
      your (strategic)
             strategy.
strategic strategery
Koven's Totally Made-Up Law:
If it will take you less time to recover from a bad
      decision than it will take you to study all the
                 alternatives, you should just do it.
