(Updated – I knew that I had forgotten a couple of talks…<\/em>)<\/p>\n

I’ve spent the last week or so just… sleeping. Relaxing. Not thinking. Trying to get myself rested and ready for what looks to be another heavy year.<\/p>\n

2009 ended on quite a high note, with my selection by Foreign Policy<\/em> magazine as one of their “Top 100 Global Thinkers for 2009,” and my being honored by the Institute for the Future as their second “Research Fellow<\/a>,” something that was previously bestowed upon Howard Rheingold — so that’s terrific company to be in. <\/p>\n

My work at IFTF continued unabated, focusing primarily upon sustainability futures and their annual “Ten Year Forecast” program, but being pulled in on everything from food futures to global health to the future of construction equipment.<\/p>\n

Here’s what the rest of 2009 looked like for me:<\/p>\n
