Joel and Victoria have been climbing the big pile of snow by our back door. This photo was taken from the summit!

It is Tuesday morning, we are expecting a foot or more of snow in next 48 hours. New Englanders love and hate the snow all at once. The best thing about a storm is just after it is has stopped there is deep silence - no cars, no movement and deep snow. Except maybe for the sound of your neighbour shovelling!

This is a great book for discovering the power of decentralisation or as the books subtitle says “The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organisations.” Using the core illustration of the fact that just a single amputated leg of a starfish can regrow to a complete starfish, the authors further illustrate the power of decentralisation by the example of the Apaches resisting the Spanish army. Those illustrations are then extended to the organisations of our time such as Wikipedia, Craigs List, al Qaeda and Skype.

Hello friends and family, we have made the trip up north to the Boston area.  We flew in last Saturday, the temps have been pretty chilly - only about 20-30 degrees F / 0 to -4 C.  We are expecting snow tomorrow the kids are looking forward to that. We have seen a few friends already and making lots of arrangements this week.  We decided to take it easy this week since we’ve had so much going on the last several!
