This week’s People First Podcast features LaTonya Peoples - a classical violinist who composed the music I use on the podcast. Turns out there is a whole lot to LaTonya that I did not know.
Enjoy … and let me know what you think.
Came across this through a different collection of people - but believe that there are sufficient people in here to share and solicit thoughts.

'A' Future - Not 'The' Future

Doc Searls recently wrote that ācookiesā are essentially ‘wormsā.
āCookiesā. Warm, friendly, sweet - nice enough to eat!
Of course you can put a cookie on my machine, but NOT a worm.
Even though a cookie’s behavior is essentially worm like.

The Things We Say
The Persistence of Memory - 1931
Sometimes we get so caught up in working out how to communicate across national boundaries, we forget that we can barely communicate within them. Thatās why language is one of the eight tenets of People First.
Our language slowly became invested with mechanical metaphors: We needed to grease the wheels, crank up the business, dig deeper, or turn a company into a well-oiled machine. Even everyday phrases, such as āfueling upā for eating lunch or āhe has a screw looseā for thinking illogically, conveyed the acceptance of humans as mechanical devices.

āWill a spider rebuild its web (if destroyed by nature) in exactly the same place? No. It will relocate. It might even find no web is needed, because it knows how to live inside the porch light.ā
