		<description><![CDATA[Ads are of course the lifeline of our society - we would not have Television or Search Engines without advertising, and where would we be without these two pillars of our civilization? Big Data could mean that we now have deeper and bigger insights into the audience for an advertising campaign - is this what is transformational for the industry? What I mean by the death of advertising is the death of the prevalent culture of coming up with an advertising platform or message based on some inarguable human truth that is expressed through some creative concept.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The <a href="http://www.nationalgeographic.com/geobee/">Geography Bee</a> is a fascinating competition, held every year by the National Geographic Society, it is clearly a nerdy test of geography trivia and possibly a lot more daunting for 4th grade to 8th grade students than the Spelling bee. You might think that what's the big deal in knowing the capital of Latvia, but geography for me has been in many ways the one subject that opens our minds to the world around us. ]]></description>

Its not that I was looking for more volunteer work, I seem to have plenty of that without needing to build a new website, but this one was a very satisfying experience. 

It turns out that the non-profit that was started by a group of parents and volunteers eager to bring more insight into the state of public education not only in California but across the country.]]></description>

After several years at I-Cube, Razorfish in its many forms, AKQA Part 1, running my own company Core &dot; Continuum, and now back to AKQA, perhaps some expression of ideas and perspectives is good. Sometimes, I look back and struggle to find out what is the core competence that threads all these experiences.]]></description>
