Now that I've unsusbscribed from a bunch of e-newsletters that I didn't really read, I've been able to focus on a couple of e-newsletters I've wanted to spend more time with.

I heard about this video on NPR's Morning Edition this morning. Scripted and recorded by four-time space flier Andrew Thomas, the video is designed to show how innovation has been blocked and bureaucracy reigns in the U.S. space program.

At almost 10 minutes in length and with the production value of a fourth-grade class project, it's a long video to muddle through, but it's worth watching if only to see if you can identify the same CYA behaviors in your own organization.

One of the highlights of my job is figuring out which companies to visit for CUES Experience. Last year in Minneapolis, we had beer, baseball, shopping, interactive media, and credit scores. (Okay, so maybe credit scores aren't quite as fun as the others, but they're close.)

Gosh, it's been a hard week. Credit unions were shaken by the news that corporates need stabilizing. Jobless rates looked gloomy. And even Toyota, a company that hasn't had annual net losses since 1950, is forecasting a loss. With all this bad news, I find cheery, upbeat articles about credit unions a breath of fresh air. A little ray of sunshine.
