  • KM, and why people contribute

    Last week, I wrote about the long tail and KM, and posited that the simplicity of a wiki made it more likely that organizations would be able to capture what people knew (and therefore be in a stronger position to leverage the institutional knowledge). Since then, Ron Friedmann (a co-presenter of mine at TechShow later…

  • Blog survey

    Henry Copeland at Blogads.com is doing another survey of blog readers; please take a few minutes to fill out the survey — it should take just 4-5 minutes, and it’s a good way to get a better sense of who’s reading, what your interests are, etc. In question #16, please mention this blog (just “tins”…

  • People you’d like to have a beer with

    Near the top of that list would have to be John Robb, who’s almost certainly got stories that would make a beer or two quite enjoyable…

  • Blawger dinner

    Want to join a group of us for a blogger dinner Wednesday, March 30? A bunch of lawyer bloggers will be in Chicago for ABA TechShow, and Dennis Kennedy is organizing this year’s get-together.

  • Another blawger in Naperville

    Just got an e-mail from a fellow Naperville resident, Evan Brown, who maintains a new blog, InternetCases.com. His site looks great, and he’s got a podcast feed to boot. Cool! Will have to grab a beer with Evan one of these days, and make sure he joins us for the blogger dinner next month at…

  • Political video blogging

    Congrats to Raymond Kristiansen, who today launched political video blogging. This is a neat development, one which is sure to be followed by candidates and political parties well outside Norway’s borders.

  • The Long Tail and KM

    On our corporate blog, Ross mentioned that a focus of last week’s company retreat was whether we felt we were satisfying our mission of serving as the long tail of wiki usage. Now before anyone accuses us of abusing multiple buzz phrases in one sentence, I’ll cop to it. Nevertheless, this is a topic I’ve…

  • Will on Shakespeare

    Quoth Will Cox: Mr. Charles Dickens never found a word he couldn’t squeeze into a sentence somewhere, eventually finding his point somewhere between the beginning of his artful construction and its punctuation, on a course more meandering than not, but placing the antecedent somewhere towards the end of the sentence, with the prepositions scattered before…

  • Back in Action: An American Hero

    My good friend Jason Smith recently pointed out that a high school buddy just published a book, Back in Action. As it happens, while traveling last week I caught a brief mention of the book on Lou Dobbs’ show on CNN. By all accounts, Captain David Rozelle is someone we should all be incredibly proud…

  • Bose SoundDock

    <img src=”http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0006VX1G8.01-A32X7Y6IRZAYK7.SCMZZZZZZZ.jpg” align=“right”>As long as I’m talking about Bose toys, I should note how amazing the SoundDock is. When we moved the TV from the family room to the basement, the biggest adjustment wasn’t the lack of TV, it was the lack of music. Rather than get a stereo for the bookshelves, we instead got…
