"If the do-it-yourself trend is a revolution, then Dale Dougherty and Tim O'Reilly are its Tom Paines," writes reporter Elizabeth Corcoran in a recent Forbes.com story, Making Future Headlines.
Thomas Paine, if you recall, was America's cerebral, revolutionary activist and the author of a mightily influential 1776 pamphlet, "Common Sense," supporting the American colonies independence from Great Britain.
Like Paine, Tim, founder and CEO of O'Reilly Media, and Dale, editor and publisher of Make, are "awfully good at spotting trends," writes Corcoran. So good, in fact, that Forbes also included the pair in their photo feature on techno-wizards--"In Pictures: Eight People Inventing The Future."

Our Digital Media division here at O'Reilly just released a book that's a bit different from our typical style. Subtitled "The Art and Science of Creating Great Presentations," slide:ology focuses on practical approaches that combine conceptual thinking and inspirational design, with insightful case studies from the world's leading brands. This highly anticipated resource was written by Nancy Duarte, President and CEO of Duarte Design in Mountain View, CA, the firm that created the presentation for "An Inconvenient Truth," Al Gore's Oscar-winning film.
