Listening to: Never Give Up On Love (featuring Tiki) - Concord Dawn
…well you could do a lot worse than following Rod’s 6 part series on this topic. It’s good to have one of the experienced serial entrepreneurs share their experiences in an NZ context. Trust me, context matters - I have the grey hair distinguished look to prove it.
UPDATE: A link to the whole series.

Listening to: Blow - Concord Dawn
This paper was released recently by the US National Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Medicine:
How did life evolve on Earth? The answer to this question can help us understand our past and prepare for our future. Although evolution provides credible and reliable answers, polls show that many people turn away from science, seeking other explanations with which they are more comfortable.
In the book Science, Evolution, and Creationism, a group of experts assembled by the National Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Medicine explain the fundamental methods of science, document the overwhelming evidence in support of biological evolution, and evaluate the alternative perspectives offered by advocates of various kinds of creationism, including “intelligent design.” The book explores the many fascinating inquiries being pursued that put the science of evolution to work in preventing and treating human disease, developing new agricultural products, and fostering industrial innovations. The book also presents the scientific and legal reasons for not teaching creationist ideas in public school science classes.
Mindful of school board battles and recent court decisions, Science, Evolution, and Creationism shows that science and religion should be viewed as different ways of understanding the world rather than as frameworks that are in conflict with each other and that the evidence for evolution can be fully compatible with religious faith. For educators, students, teachers, community leaders, legislators, policy makers, and parents who seek to understand the basis of evolutionary science, this publication will be an essential resource.
Oh… and happy new year
