We have arrived at a special moment in history. Learning, business, and networks are rapidly converging. You and I have a shot at making the earth a markedly better place to live.

In my remaining time on the planet, maybe a decade, I feel compelled to do what I can to improve the way people learn. I am passionate about this because I think just about everyone can become more effective and fuilfilled in their work and happier in life.

Professionals are missing the learning Cluetrain. I want to accelerate awareness of informal learning, the power of positive networks, and the simplicity of the web. As of yesterday, everything on this site is covered under a Creative Commons licenses. Every lesson, link, video, case, white paper, job aid and essay are free for you to use. Like the Whole Earth Catalog, I seek to provide access to tools, mainly mind tools.

This site is for us. You and me and anyone who cares to join us. It's a place to watch or join a debate. You can grab some advice -- or give some. This is a gift economy site, free because it is a network, and that in itself creates value. Networks of ideas are perpetual-motion machines. The benefits of participation grow exponentially.

This site is and will always be in beta. Hell, the world is stil in beta. It's going to take a while to index things so you can find them. (Suggestions are welcome.)

The Rules here are few. The Well was a great teacher.

Contribute to the community. Share what you learn.

Be candid. Tell the truth. Be civil.

Don't deceive. Disclose your commercial interests.

In case of disputes, Jay is judge and jury.

We are exploring the intersection of unconferences and learning with Social Media Club.

Writing on the Walls Retreat

This is the transformational business skill described in Informal Learning. You’ll come away with the ability to make drawings that inspire groups and clarify new gameplans. My attendance proves that you need no artistic skills to do this. Next session is January 19-20 in Bodega Bay, about an hour up the coast from San Francisco.
