Wendell Wallach is a lecturer and consultant at Yale University’s Interdisciplinary Center for Bioethics where he chairs the working research group on Technology and Ethics, leads a seminar for bioethics interns, and functions as a senior coordinator for other working groups and projects. He has lectured worldwide, published many articles, and is presently writing two books. Cybersoul explores the ways in which cognitive science and the Information Age are altering our understanding of human decision-making and ethics. Machine Morality: From Aristotle to Asimov and Beyond, which Wendell is co-authoring and which will be published by MIT Press, explores the prospects for designing computer systems capable of making moral decisions. Wendell is recognized as one of the leaders in the new field of Machine Ethics, and designed the first course anywhere on this subject, which he has taught twice at Yale.
Wendell is one of the speakers at the upcoming Singularity Summit.

I came across this terrific site this morning from a link off of Ryan Rasmussen’s blog. Ryan works for Levenger, a company that sells beautiful writing and paper products. Scott Sherman put me onto them recently.
Anyway, back to DIY Planner. This site has a range of PDF templates that you can print off to create your own daily planner instead of buying the endless refills for your Franklin Day Planner or that you can use to insert into your Moleskine (which is how I think I’m going to use it). What a terrific open source project. I have suggested to Tony Goodson that he invites the guy behind the site onto the Productivity Show.

I was reading Chris Brogan’s 4th of July inspirational post (nice work btw Chris) and it reminded me of something I’ve been meaning to talk about on the show for sometime.
It’s my understanding that American “Independence” was mostly about the British East India Company deciding to buy itself a country to escape the pressures of regulation in England. It’s a little understood fact that for the first 12 months of US “independence”, the American flag was actually the BEIC flag. Check out this article. So the 4th of July is really about celebrating that moment when a corporation (one of the world’s first corporations) actually managed to buy itself a whole country to call it’s very own.
If you haven’t read much about the East India Company, I highly recommend it. It’s a fascinating tale. It was their products that were involved in the Boston Tea Party (they had a monopoly on selling tea to American) and there have been suggestions over the years that the EIC was involved in deliberately starting the whole debacle in order to escalate tensions.
