I was sitting on the subway last week (which is unusual for me, as I tend to avoid the subway at all costs), and during one of the brief moments where the train goes above ground, was sending a few emails. After giving myself a mental pat on the back for being so productive, I [...]

I’ve been going through some of the videos from the Technology, Entertainment, Design conference that I talked about last time. While I’ve come across some interesting videos, one of the coolest videos I’ve seen was sent to me by a reader (who wishes to remain anonymous). The video below is Pattie Maes demonstrating a wearable [...]

Patrick Lambe over at Green Chameleon has an interesting post about the holy trinity of people, process and technology that is a response to Dave Snowden’s suggestion that the three have become a pointless reductionist categorization. I think Patrick’s point here is an important one — both IT and non-IT folks need a remember now [...]

Pete Shelton has a really amazing post on Web Tastings about some lessons his group’s learned about teaching researchers about Web 2.0 (which I came across via Nancy White’s post). With all the hype around about Web 2.0, it’s great to hear such a common sense take on what needs to be done around educating [...]

According to my site statistics, there are several dozen people reading this site with Internet Explorer 6. With Internet Explorer 7 being only a few months old, this is certainly to be expected (my stats also tell me that almost no one — which means around 2% — of people visiting this site are using [...]

If you run a business, have a website or just generally spend a great deal of time online, you’ll already be aware of the quickening pace of technology change. In any business, it’s important to consider not only the technology you’re going to be using today, but also how the technologies of tomorrow will impact [...]

Firefox has many great extensions that can save you a great deal of time or improve your browsing experience. I’ll talk about some of my favorites and give you some links to best lists of extensions out there. If you’re still not using Firefox, I would highly suggest installing it now. It’s fun to customize, [...]

A little while ago, I had an idea. The idea was that knowledge management (I realize not everyone is familiar with knowledge management, so a definition is always useful) is an extremely useful approach to getting things done within an organization. However, knowledge management is often limited to large organizations with big budgets and dedicated [...]
