Brazil pamphlet - a useful resource for the design community
A new report by the UK think tank Demos argues that Brazil is a 'natural knowledge-economy' where the intertwining of knowledge, skills and innovation with environmental and other natural assets holds the key to competitive advantage.
Very relevant for the design community is the chapter on culture, which discusses aspects of Brazilian culture that are pertinent to science and innovation: values, democracy, diversity and creativity.

Less Demos, more lilo
I knew on Sunday night that the week ahead would hold a touch of the Fellinis - a combination of Amarcord and 8½ were firmly on the agenda. And I wasn't wrong. It really should have been shot in black and white.

The importance of being there
On Monday I went to see author and thinker Clay Shirky talk at a lunchtime seminar hosted by the Demos think tank. Clay was charming and intelligent and funny, and I got to hear him thinking out loud about the impact of social tools on international politics, which was fun, but I could have done all that by listening in online, or even by watching the stream of brief reports appearing on Twitter, the communications service that is currently taking the net by storm.
