TechTV's Catalog of Tomorrow, by Andrew Zolli, feeds my inner futurologist. The childhood visions of what is possible. I've ordered my copy and can't wait.  

This is why I majored in Finance, to understand the business world's way of modeling possibilities.

This is why I studied forecasting methodologies, like the Delphi method, and dived into stochastic modeling and simulation. To model the world to understand what may come.

This is why I ate up scenario planning, the one discipline that asserts the future is unknowable.

This is why I go to Foresight gatherings and Nanoschmooze events, feeding my craving for the unfolding patterns that I will live through.

Once in while I uncover sites like Edge.org, people like Greg Rothfuss, and ideas like the Singularity that reshuffle my expectations.

And then I sigh.
