All parts (including nearly 6-foot of chain) are solid sterling silver, and the necklace is $255 USD.

Apart from the cultural neutrality of the image, you’d also need to find words that have completely different spellings in each language and images that are precise enough not to create too many options for a user’s response (for instance, in English, I could see “truck,” “jeep,” and “SUV” all being possible responses to an image of a truck). As with question-based CAPTCHAs it needs to be dead simple and should not leave itself open to the user over-thinking a response (e.g. “How much is 1 plus 1?” or “Is ice hot or cold?”).

It is a really cool idea though; I’d love to see a prototype.

Well, that might work in the short term, but ultimately if you use sketchy methods and flawed truthfulness to tell your story, you open it to criticism that will end up looking more legitimate than your story is.

(OK, Michael Moore in particular pisses me off. He wants his messages to be take very seriously, but when you catch him in a lie or gross exaggeration he laughs it off by saying “but I’m just a comedian!” If someone on the right were to try that cop-out we’d slay him mercilessly.)

It’s very interesting that you’re working on something specifically about bridging disciplines! I’ll drop you a line soon and we can continue the discussion, if you like.

I came across your blog, and Hunter’s, whilst doing some background reading for something. I’m writing a guidance document for staff at a company I run, trying to help them with time management but also to prepare them for the inevitable ‘jack of all trades’ discussions they will face.

The company is a consultancy, and all of the staff are ’significantly competent’ in more than one field. Most of the work the business undertakes relies on their ability to bridge disciplines.

I just thought I’d post something on here to say that your blog shows some really interesting lines of thinking!

I’d be interested in your thoughts about this document I’m writing, perhaps you could email me if you have some time.

Keep up the good writing,

James.

I’m 28 and I’ve had lots of issues with what to do with myself and what field to go into, what to study, insatisfaction with my resume, etc etc. Not only have I moved around a lot but my mind moves around just as much.

On a side note, on the Briggs-Meyers test, most generalists are INTJ’s or ENTP’s which is interesting. And as a PS, I’m a lefty too. PPS – creativegeneralist.com is all about being a generalist, glad I finally figured out what I am…that is has a name.

Cheers
