This morning I stumbled upon a brand-spanking-new bank of Citibikes right around the corner from our office in downtown Manhattan.
Last year we asked if 10,000 bikes could change the way New Yorkers travel. I guess we’re about to find out!
I love this whole bike sharing movement and makes me want to live in a city that has it.
Artists often possess the skills and temperament that business leaders regularly say are in short supply: creativity, resiliency, flexibility, high tolerance for risk and ambiguity, as well as the courage to fail.
If you are not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you’ve launched too late.

The sport of business is the ultimate competition. It’s 7 x 24 x 365 x forever.
A company’s DNA is set in the first 90 days. All team members are the smartest or most clever in their domain. “A” level founders attract an “A” level team.

Google Just Produced a MAD Visualization
Mapping Arms Data, that is. It visualizes the imports and exports of small arms, light weapons, and ammunition across 250 states and territories between 1992 and 2010. Specifically:
• Military weapons include artillery, mortars, machine guns (sub, light, and heavy), assault rifles, combat shotguns, and machine pistols.
• Civilian arms consist of pistols, revolvers, sporting shotguns, sporting rifles (anything not rated as a military item including fully automatic weaponry).
• Ammunition includes shotgun shells and small caliber ammo (anything below 14.5mm which isn’t fired from a shotgun).
It was produced as part of the Google Ideas INFO (Illicit Networks, Forces in Opposition) Summit. Read more about it here.
FJP: We particularly like its use of WebGL, which is a JavaScript API for rendering interactive graphics. It’s alarming, illuminating, and pretty mesmerizing to play with.
