Business mags celebrate "fast" the same way entertainment tabloids celebrate "young." Our culture is obsessed with beginnings, transformations, and spectacular failures because it's dramatic and fresh. A journeyman takes time to observe and distill...and who has time for that?

I am definitely the opposite of the "slow" movement, but I do need to slow down a bit as my friend Mark has suggested. Talking about "slow", the two concepts of SLOW + LOCAL are now converging in what NY Times called "Slow Design". Good read. I am not a “slow” fan.

How true. No one wants to wait. It's like kids who leave their parent's home only to expect the same luxuries around them.
