This is Nuts! – with Chocolate

In a world where it is illegal to bring nuts to preschool – they may be life threatening – it is good to know that today is World Nutella Day. As with most international brands, the US recipe it too sweet which covers the niche nut-chocolate flavor. You get the best quality in Italy; Austrian and German are OK.

I will serve Crepes filled with Nutella tonight – will see if it is a “go” with M. (she’s 5 and prefers my homemade jam)

Recipe to follow.

Lift@Vienna | Enable! – a conference

The Lift@Austria conference invited me to give a keynote and enable a workshop about metamorphosis – a somewhat alchemistic topic. The conference focuses on “Profound innovation in Society, Economy & Knowledge Exploring the new paradigm for bringing forth game-changing innovation” and will be held in  Vienna, March 18-20, 2010.

Conferences worth attending have become rare or unaffordable and inaccessible like TED or D – mostly easily replaceable by a Webcast. Lift promises to start a new trend in collaborative events. The topic is challenging and we’ll see what we can make of it. It will be a joint effort of everybody attending.

Lift conferences are planned around the world and try to answer the questions ” What can the future do for you? – maybe we should ask “What can you do for the future?” – but that’s beside the point – there is only NOW. What can NOW do for you?

First event coverage is here and here (both in German). [added 2/4]

More soon.
