Peter Senge on the creative process
A very smart video from Peter Senge, the author of the 5th discipline (read it, if you have not done yet!), found on a blog for smarties:
Doing your research project - Zina O´Leary
This is one of my favourite books on how to do research:
You can have a look into the book on the Amazon web page at:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Essential-Guide-Doing-Research-Project/dp/1848600119/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1274079262&sr=8-1
Zina also has a great web page with additional videos and charts, at:
www.uk.sagepub.com/resources/oleary
You can download her excellent powerpoint charts, which are a great summary of her book at:
http://www.uk.sagepub.com/resources/oleary/pptslides.htm
This is one of the great examples of professors that are sharing their materials openly. I would wish that this development would also come to Germany, which is still very closed in this respect. In the meantime, I am continuing my work on my PhD in the UK :-)
Here are the videos, which are a very nice overview of the book contents and the research process in general:
So keep on braining yourself and the rest of the world!

Love never dies in London
For all musical lovers of you and for all of you who also love romantic weekend hideaways, this is what Nici and me did last weekend:
Love never dies is the continuation of the Phantom of the Opera and we liked it even more than the first part. It is playing in the Adelphi Theatre in London. You find all the infos at:
http://www.loveneverdies.com/
When you are a bit more flexible on what to see, there are many booths in the city, selling cheap tickets for all the musicals which are currently on stage, like Grease, Elliot, Sister Act and many more.
And by the way - you do not need to wear a tie. I was slightly overdressed, but luckily not the only one and better than the other way round :-)
We had a great hotel with a wonderful mix of old and new elements.
It is just 200m away from the theatre and directly at the tube station Charing Cross (near Trafalgar Square). The hotel is also a great starting place for exploring the city. It is the Guoman Hotel. You find it at:
http://www.guoman.com/hotels/united_kingdom/london/charing_cross/index.html
The London Eye is just 300m to walk and directly accross the street there is a Starbucks - for all chai lovers, like me :-)

The backup plan / Plan B für die Liebe
I am just coming back from a wonderful movie about finding "the one" and how children change your universe:

Starbucks Cards Can Now be Managed via Facebook
As an early adopter brand, Starbucks has reaped the rewards of social media innovation. Today the company is furthering those efforts with a Facebook application for customers to access and manage their Starbucks cards.The application will go live around 1:50 p.m. PDT today and will be accessible via Starbucks’ Facebook Page. Essentially the application provides a virtual way to complete any card-related activity and even view a record of all transactions.
On the card management front, users can register (or unregister cards), check their balance, reload cards and edit profile information. The app also includes relevant rewards program information so frequent customers can check their status levels and benefits.
What’s even cooler is that come summer time, Starbucks will introduce functionality that will let users reload a Facebook friend’s Starbucks card as a gift through the application. Talk about an instant way to make a Facebook friend’s day.
Of course, most of the application’s functionality mirrors what you can already do via the Starbucks website and its iPhone app, but the Facebook app is all about convenience.
Product Manager Brad Nelson explained, “Our Facebook community is very vibrant with over seven million fans. We see this a great way to make it even easier to manage your Starbucks Card on Facebook. We can’t wait to make it easy to buy your friends a drink.”
Convenient it is. Given FacebookFacebook
’s size and significance, we expect the application to be a huge hit for both customers and company.
’s size and significance, we expect the application to be a huge hit for both customers and company.Very Smart as so often. One of the reasons why I am a real Starbucks fan. My favourite is the Chai Tea Latte with soy milk - no I have to admit, I am addicted to it :-)
The smart thing about the Starbucks card is that you can use it to use the WIFI in the stores.
I always use this, when I am travelling to the US. See me older blog entry at:
Maximize windows on your Mac like in Windows
For all of you, who also shifted from Windows to Mac, you might have run into the same problem:
The behaviour of the green window button seems to be like a lottery. Sometimes, the windows are maximized and sometimes they end up in a different size.
I found a freeware tool on:

Just download it, copy the program file into the application folder and double click it to start and configure it. It works :-)
