Ken Thompson studies how animals work together and applies that to finding ways for humans to work together better, too — he calls the methodology “BioTeaming.” I found his viewpoint to be different (he lives in Belfast, Ireland, so he comes at the world from a few different viewpoints than folks in Silicon Valley do), refreshing, and worth considering for your teams.

Dori Smith - credited with getting Robert to blog and the author of the definitive book on JavaScript - speaks with Maryam and Robert Scoble about JavaScript issues past, present and future as she finds herself at the center of the Web 2.0 world, now that JavaScript is cool again (so is her 24-inch Dell monitor).

Every week on the ScobleShow I’ll try to have a geek on that’ll teach you something, well, geeky. You know, a tip on how to do AJAX right or a look inside a development tool like a new version of Eclipse or Visual Studio or an updated or new framework like Ruby on Rails. This week, however, we have something a little more fun: a language war. The setting for this conversation? My mom’s house in Montana where a group of geeks met up for an “Off the Grid” campout. What’s your favorite language? Leave a comment and maybe we’ll have you on a future show.
