Hi,
I came across your blog recently as I was doing some research on operational excellence, and I had a few questions. I was wondering
if you had some time to answer a few questions?

Thanks so much!

And why not?

The whole point of ‘Drawing on the right side of the brain’ was that most of us are only able to quieten the task-oriented Left brain by boring the !@(* out of it long enough to actually enjoy drawing, thinking creatively etc.

As for me, I still can’t draw… but let me just rant on technology : Windows Vista is every theoretical objection I have against modernity, epitomised in one desktop.

Its like a haiku of technology and capitalism.

cheers!
