An update…
A personal/professional update since this blog has not been an accurate mirror of my freelance work world.
The spring and early summer have been quite fantastic (and busy) with several collaborative projects on the:
- future of transportation infrastructure (TxDOT/University of Houston Futures Studies program)
- future of financial services (Citigroup/FutureThink)
- association leadership in 21st century (ASAE/ UK-based FastFuture)
- future of sustainable packaging (PTIS-DuPont/FutureThink)
- keynotes on innovative thinking and Millennial Generation
- development of two business innovations publications with NYC-based FutureThink on the future of the social web and ‘green’ as a business strategy.
But the big news on my horizon is my work with Memebox on launching a Future of Energy media site. Memebox is quickly becoming a premier web resource for all things related to the future through its FutureScanner and FutureBlogger applications and expanding community of contributors. I am excited about the opportunity to join their network and to help evolve the global conversation on the future of energy. So stay tuned…!
On the personal side– life in Brooklyn is fantastic! Ann and I have terra cotta pots filled with herbs and flowers growing on our stoop steps, are taking walks through Prospect Park and the Slope, trying to cut back on bagel consumption, and just enjoying a relatively quiet summer (without air conditioning!). We have weekend trips planned for the weeks ahead in Vermont and Wisconsin (and trying to fit in Philly/PA)!
To follow my day to day life and research scanning efforts– it is probably best to connect via Twitter (http://twitter.com/garrygolden) or my delicious tags (http://del.icio.us/garrygolden). I am enjoying the level of micro-connectivity with friends/colleagues via Twitter, and my del.icio.us network has expanded tremendously and is now a great resource for future scanning.
