“B” Cell batteries: Mystery solved. Stefan sez: If you go to a battery display in a drug or convenience store or Radio Shack, you’ll find AAA-cell batteries, and AA-cell batteries, and C-cell batteries and big ‘ol D-cell batteries. But no A or B cell batteries. This has bothered me for years, and past searches turned…

I sent the following e-mail in three weeks ago to the TechnoLawyer list, and it’s still inexplicably not going out. How can you claim to have an e-mail distribution list if the e-mails aren’t getting distributed? Rather than continue to wait, I figured I’d just throw it out there… and let Ernie, Denise and others…

As a follow-up to the last post about personal KM challenges, I thought I’d share this e-mail I wrote to the TechnoLawyer list several weeks ago. (It still hasn’t been distributed to the list for some reason, so at least now it has a home.) Might help some out there who are reading these blogs…

I won’t include the entire post here, but you really need to read the entire thread (starting with Cory’s original post, Jenny’s follow-up, and then Jim’s wrap-up).

I’m in San Antonio at the Association of Accounting Marketing conference, and was attending a session on evaluating the success of marketing plans. Given that this is an area of interest to me (if done right, strategic marketing efforts are supported by CRM systems that make the collection, distribution and quality of information much easier and…

After discovering that U.S. military codes were routinely deciphered by the Japanese, Philip Johnston, a World War I veteran and son of missionaries to Navajo country, suggested devising a system from the ancient language that few Navajos had ever bothered to write…

http://www.pipetree.com/~dj/cgi-bin/ bdexp?url=http://www.rklau.com/tins/ I’m intrigued, as it extends the value of the Weblog Neighborhood to include Blogdex’s info. (And if you’re not already participating in Blogdex, you should be.) More info is at DJ’s weblog.

Update: (corrected URL – one more time!) My Weblog Neighborhood. I haven’t had time to fully digest what it all means, but I now am using the new Blogroll macro to manage my blogroll, and have created my Weblog Neighborhood. Hopefully it’ll sink in later this week.

I can remember when Arsenio was a threat to Jay – so much so that Leno’s manager, Helen Kushnick, blacklisted any guests that appeared on Arsenio’s show. Now Arsenio is doing guest spots for Jay. (He’s broadcasting tonight from the NBA Finals.) Hmmm….

Joy linked to an article written by my buddy John Hokkanen in Managing Partner magazine. But MP Magazine doesn’t publish their content online (at least they don’t try and prevent people from linking to it; they just don’t put it online). So I hopped over to John’s personal site, and saw that John published a…
