August 2005, Fast Company… “The Once and Future Consultant”, an interview with Dave Ulrich:

“[When people set] new goals, ‘My tendency is to let them fail,’ he says. Why? Because Ulrich sees failure as a by-product of setting high goals.”

Time for me to move the bar upwards another notch… for myself as well as those around me.

News yesterday out of Washington about the tighter than expected vote on Network Neutrality, the essential concept of the Internet – that all sites are served equally.  I’ve talked about this before and it is vitally important to everyone who uses or works with the Internet in their lives.

The breadth of people talking about it is amazing – look at the Daily Kos, Gun Owners of America, American Library Association, Professor Lawrence Lessig, and even Alyssa Milano. This is getting traction in the mainstream press and now we need to fight it in the Senate.

I don’t have flowery words to add – everyone linked above says it very well, or read additional detailed accounts of the danger. 

This is important.  Take action now.
