You’re back at at school, you’re writing. You’re at work, you’re writing. You’re sitting at the keyboard staring at your empty blog, you’re writing. But what kind of writing are you doing?
Xbox 360 Pricing
Well, if you care at all about the upcoming Xbox 360, you’ve probably already seen the news but here it is anyway: $399. Console, wireless controller, detachable hard disk, headset, remote control and cables. Oh yea, and there’s also a lower-cost option, the Xbox 360 Core System, but get real – why bother? It’s not […]
Recommendations That Ended Well
We may have our differences of opinion but Dave‘s still the Blogfather, having gotten many of us – including me – interested in weblogging with his writing, his offer of EditThisPage, the development of Radio and his enthusiasm in general. His writing also inspired me to give the Grateful Dead a listen. I’d heard of […]
New Photos Posted
I’ve posted new marching band pictures from last night’s rehearsal, the first in the new stadium. (The Milton High School community’s moving into a brand new building; classes begin this coming Monday.) I’m reasonably happy with most of the images, though I may have done a little too much post on this one [grin]
KM, Blogging, and Copyright, Oh My
It’s been a while since I wrote about Knowledge Management & Blogging. While trying BlogBridge, I noticed that it comes with a set of pointers to, among other things, some KM blogs. Here are a couple that have interesting articles posted recently. Knowledge-at-work (see Sharing knowledge – do we know enough? for example), and APQC […]
Names, Again
In an interesting turn, I was googling around about FireFly (because of one of the comments on Scott’s site, actually) but kept coming across refences to Serenity instead. This resulted in more than just a bit of confusion on my part, not being a FireFly fan or having any clue what was going on. Dori […]
What’s In A Name?
Oh Crikey. In December ’02 Scott Hanselman realized that MSN Messenger 5.0 wasn’t an upgrade to Windows Messenger 4.7. No, it was a different product that did mostly the same thing. Was Microsoft changing the name and bringing out a new, improved product? No, they now had two instant messaging clients. Now he finds that […]
Johnson on Video Games
“What is the current reigning technological paradigm — combined with both market and public-sector forces — doing to our minds?” Steven Johnson, who I heard interviewed on the radio this afternoon, tackles that in a book that I’m very much looking forward to reading: Everything Bad Is Good for You. I wrote a paper back […]
Drive Safely
Sept ’03: “I’ve never seen Microsoft send patches out to everyone via e-mail… learn more about how you can help protect your computer.” Mitch Tulloch: Is This Security Alert Really from Microsoft? Of course, not every email that arrives in your inbox and purports to be from Microsoft is actually from Microsoft. The bottom line […]
Jon Udell: The tacit dimension of tech support
…in which he actually does a great job of describing one of my strengths. Sometimes it’s not what you know but what you can find out. I’ve often said that “being an expert isn’t always about knowing the answer as much as it is about knowing where to find the answer.” It’s a good article, […]
