Not sure how this one slipped past (award ceremony was last week) but our esteemed friend David Weinberger was just named co-winner of "Mover and Shaker of the Year" Award by the Massachusetts Technology Leadership Council. MTLC, presided over by yet another terrific person, Joyce Plotkin, is the New England technology industry group that's been introducing new ideas in our region for a long, long time. Signature events in recent memory: Mikhail Gorbachev addressing some 750 people about the role of information technology in Russia and Eastern Europe (see Dan Bricklin's blog post here); Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales bringing us up-to-date on all things wiki; and our very own Jeff Stamps appearing at the Tech Trends meeting in September, '07.
Another MTLC winner worth noting: CIO of the Year, Dr. John Halamka, who plays that role nobly for the huge health-care network that is the CareGroup (along with that little institution known as Harvard Medical School) and who's just started a new blog here.
