The 2011 Global Managed Print Services Conference - Pictures of You.

My Current reflection points, and material for the future:

1. Philosophical discussions - this is bigger than MPS

2. Change or die, again

3. Innovate - now is the time

4. That MPS Insights Pro is better then I thought

5. This is Mainstream for the Smart People

6. Soylent Toner is People

7. MSP and MPS is difficult

8. It is about Content, not "Print"

9. Out of the Box - meaning so much more, I have never been more proud of my industry

10. Are you telling the Truth, or just stating a number

11. "I don't even use the phrase, MPS, with clients anymore"

12. Sheehan -" take a stand"

13. Sheehan - "not Paperless? Are you blind AND stupid?"

14. I swear, he reads DOTC

15. The Old Guys are coming back

16. I can't wait to see the first servers "ripped and replaced"

17. There is still a "P" in MPS

18. MPS is the egg in the cake, not the entire cake

19. The OEM's have Created Their Own Channel

20. This is an opportunity to remember the reason you got into all this in the first place

21. I have Pluto in my Seventh House

22. Ricoh is in - all in

23. Canon is finding herself

24. "Fire, Walk with Me"? - Greg has lost it...again.

25. MPS is a Process, not a Transaction

26. Fire and Ice, Cold Water

27. The 2011 MPSA Leadership Awards

28. Just like the chopper in Usama's compound, we must destroy MPS, before it falls into the Enemy hands.

29. YOU ARE NOT ALONE...WE, ARE NOT ALONE

Oh the fun we are going to have with all that...

Tech-News: More Plastic Paper, Self Assembling MicroParticles and the Last Book Ever Printed

Yeah, I know, the electric paper trick has been around for decades.

Below is the latest:

"I think the greatest breakthrough was that traditional display devices usually require electricity to write, but our technology made it closer to how we would use normal paper," said John Chen, Vice President of the Institute and general director of the Display Technology Center.




The more interesting advancement revolves around micro-robots.

"Danger, Danger...Will Robinson..."

Peter Sheahan - "Rule The White Spaces"

"no, no, no..its THE Death of the Copier..."

Page Coverage.

In our little industry, one can live or die on the difference between 3% and 8%.  

The white spaces between the toner, Fact and Fiction, Vision and Reality.

Between all those Silo's.

I first saw Peter's presentation online,  from the MPS Conference in Barcelona.

My impressions were, "...who the hell is this guy? A shorter version of T. Robbins only from New Zealand?"

I know, its Australia...and everyone is shorter than Anthony Robbins.

I jest!

Peter's conversation was geared toward innovation, technology and miscalculations.  He talked about how our beliefs and more importantly, how our successful past, holds us back.  He talked about the silo's that keep us separated and how the cracks present the best opportunities.

That's cool.
