I came here from a professional site and I was pleasantly surprised to find this post. So hard is it to meet “thinking professionals” these days.

Thank you for this post. I particularly liked the notion of switching off, waiting a quarter for processing to shut down and enjoying the ride on the train of thought. Or, to make it less literal, stopping to actually think.

Derek, thanks for your comment. I actually was to one of Andy’s seminars on this and had a chance to talk to him after it. I share many of his views on what he calls “wetware”. Funny how many of us, technologists, discover wider and more interesting world outside technology as we develop over time, isn’t it?

I have been thinking a lot lately about this subject. I have done some writing in personal journal about it, that I keep meaning to turn into a blog post. This might be just the motivation I needed.

If you haven’t read “Pragmatic Thinking and Learning” by Andy Hunt you should check it out.
