2010 has been a great year with the release of Informix 11.70 and 2011 is lining up to be a busy year with plenty of activities and execution on the plans of v.next.
I also hope that in 2011 we'll see even more participation from the Informix community to continue to make Informix and the solutions around it better and more exciting.

Part of making Informix and its ecosystem system better is to share ideas and be exposed to ideas that may or may not be related to Informix. If you remember, in my blog entry of October 9, I talked about where good ideas come from. It is time that I divulge the source of these comments. It came from a site called TED. That specific presentation is Where good ideas come from

Here are a few other presentations I enjoyed from www.ted.com:

• The game layer on top of the world
• Charles Leadbeater on Innovation
• Computing a theory of everything

There are many more interesting talks in there. I hope you'll enjoy these short presentations. Who knows, by exploring these presentations and others, you may come back with a new outlook on how we can use Informix to make our world a smarter planet.
