hyperconnected and hyperobsessed
Thinker, doer, iconoclast, professional loudmouth.
Also organisational comms guy, design thinker, user experience and service designer, collaborator, sketchnoter. Open government advocate. TEDizen. Husband. Dad. WoW player. INTP. Crossfitter. Rugby tragic.
This site collects links, books, stories, media and other things I consider interesting for some reason. It's neither work-focussed or personal but happily blurs the two.
See http://about.me/trib/ for greater detail and links to other things.

“At the heart of teaching critical and creative thought is the ability to ask the right questions to students. In turn, they need to be able answer in a way that demonstrates their ability to see the parallels and intersections; perceive linkages between historical moments, between the period and the art, between the circumstances then and now; to comprehend the relationship between “us” and “them”, between “we” and “they,” and, ultimately, whether dichotomies like “we” and “they” are useful—and, if so, how.”
“Research strongly suggests that people are more creative when they enjoy privacy and freedom from interruption. And the most spectacularly creative people in many fields are often introverted, according to studies by the psychologists Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and Gregory Feist. They’re extroverted enough to exchange and advance ideas, but see themselves as independent and individualistic. They’re not joiners by nature.”
“This is one of the greatest misconceptions about introversion. We are not anti-social; we’re differently social. I can’t live without my family and close friends, but I also crave solitude.”
