組織を作るときは
F.K.
組織を作るときは解散の仕方をあらかじめ考えておく
人生には限りがある以上，どんな形であれ最終的には組織を去らねばならないし，自分で作った組織なら尚更その組織からの去り方，または解散の仕方を始めから考えておくべきだ．
某大企業の社長が「ワシが耄碌したら言ってくれ，引退する」と従業員に語ったそうだが，そもそも耄碌してしまったら諫言を受け入れられる状態ではないわけだから，これは「ワシは自らは引退せんぞ」宣言に等しい．
もしFacebookタイムラインが未来にメッセージを投稿できたなら，僕は将来の自分に「このプロジェクトを降りる時ですよ」とか「〜さんに権限を譲って引退しなさい」とかメッセージを残すだろう．あるいは，未来の自分宛に封書を書いておいてもいい．
My First Impression on Google +
At last, I could create my Google + account today. Since Google + requires Google Profile properly set up, and Google Apps doesn’t support Profile at this moment, I needed to recover my old, almost abandoned, Gmail account to activate the +.
The first impression on Google + was —- huh? The user interface seems far better than Facebook, but it won’t be a reason for me to use the second (no, maybe fourth or fifth) social networking service.
Until the Jasmine revolutions my first choice had been Twitter. I always remember how people on Twitter had warm hearts and greatly helped me and my friends. After the revolutions I didn’t twitter as often as I used to but still were watching my time line.
On 11 March we experienced the great earthquake. In this time Twitter helped me, again. Actually Twitter was the only active communicating tool on that day. Thus, though I stopped my machine-gun twittering, I’ve been loving Twitter.
My Facebook life has begun in Egypt to keep in touch with my Egyptian friends. Photo sharing was one of the killer application there. Increase of Japanese users made me more comfortable in Facebook.
As I manage several workshops every month, and also I am invited to other workshops, Facebook became a scheduler as well as a communication tool for me. In fact, I cannot schedule any of my events without Facebook nowadays.
And, here comes Google +. Is there any room for Google + left in me? This is really hard question. I don’t use Orkut because it is an inferior version of Facebook. I don’t use Buzz because it is an inferior version of Twitter.
I loved Google Wave because it was unique and useful. But what is a unique point of Google +?
As everybody knows, Google is smart. They must hide something. When they unveil it, that would be a time for me to start my Google + account. Until that moment, I think I’ll stick to Twitter and Facebook.
Connecting Engines
I’m writing this article right after we finished off the 10th Japan/America Frontier of Engineering (JAFOE) Symposium. The symposium called 30 American top engineers and 30 Japanese top engineers together and hosted four different sessions from Sunday to Wednesday. The symposium originally started back in 2000, followed by years 2002 through 2009.
The aim of this symposium is mixing up American/Japanese young brains and creating tomorrow’s partnership by bottom-up approach, which I mean, non-political way. I’ve been a general co-chair since 2009, and had good luck to welcome many brilliant colleagues. In 2011 we picked up the topics from Massive Data Management, Smart Grid, Bioinspired Materials and Robotics. I was very excited during seeing list of the speakers, and really thrilled to open the symposium.
Each sessions has a couple of session chairs, four speakers and four poster presenters of the 50:50 mixture of Academia and industry. They were so active that we always needed more time for Q and A and poster sessions. I do really appreciate for fantastic presentations and great questions that would advance the research further. I do also appreciate Japanese speakers for speaking in English for four days even when they talk to Japanese.
Thank you very very much.
