On a recent trip to Paris, this doll beckoned from a shop window with a display of skincare products. My cellphone video posted directly to the web, capturing out of context this funny moment.

Humor can help translate and digest social angst, in this case about technology in everyday life. Today’s comics in the Los Angeles Times included several embedded comments about technology and its twists.
For example, Blondie today is about Dagwood Bumstead learning Twitter from his young neighbor and you should be able to catch it on Blondie.com at this link. He is nervous about the experience and trying to put on a good face.
Thanks to Comics.com, I can embed today’s JumpStart, which discusses web etiquette and ends up being lampooned by the character’s son as a Facebook post at the end of the cartoon. It reminded me of some marvelous conversations that I had yesterday with some lovely ladies over 60 who were discussing their frustrations with learning and embracing technology.

If you have time to have streaming video in the background today and/or tomorrow, there is a mix of intriguing ideas happening in Munich. Live.
A couple of my friends are in Munich right now at the DLD Conference in Munich (Digital-Life-Design) (www.dld-conference.com). You can watch the streams on Livestream, if you like (http://www.livestream.com/dldconference). It is a quirky mix of thinkers, entrepreneurs, businesses, artists, musicians, authors, etc. The schedule is at http://www.dld-conference.com/events/event/dld11_program_aid_5.html, on German time.
The topics on the schedule include museums, music, books, fashion, space, design, mobile, augmented reality, innovation, urbanism, local, etc. Monday, two tracks are going on at the same time, so you may want to look at the list to see if there is anything you’d like to peek in on.
