I uploaded my Eurostar keynote slides to SlideShare. As with most of my talks, the slides don’t read well on their own (I sort of hate bullet points).

Today I saw yet another info-byte on the perils of multi-tasking. I too, think that multitasking is rarely (if ever) as productive as multitaskers believe it is (note: my favorite study compares bong hits with multitasking…ymmv) – but we’ve all seen stuff like this over time.
