All in self
Nancy White has pointed the way to a Johari Window tool that let's one see how others view them. I've started my own window by selecting a number of characteristics, and now I invite you to select from that same set of characteristics and see whether I project to you what I think of myself.
I have been interviewed by the Knowledge Management Center, a Chinese KM group, based in Beijing. The connection was made through one of my students at Northwestern.
Catastrovision is that wonderful effect when you get so wrapped up in your own world that it seems like everything is about to end. [Reposted]
I'll be on a panel at the Knowledge Management for the Modern Law Firm conference that the Ark Group is organizing in New York City, 22-23 February 2006.
I've been "attending" the CPSquare Web 2.0 and Communities of Practice online conference for the last week or so, and it has resulted in a number of interesting conversations. It's also inspired some personal realization as well.
I've been moderately successful in this consulting gig, however moderately isn't cutting the mustard when it comes to a feeling of stability with another child coming along.
The RSS Blog points to a new way to peruse your Flickr images with photoblogger. It is very much geared toward finding pictures, rather than browsing in the standard Flickr mode.
A quoted name search nets me 79,000 hits on Google. An ego search on my name nets about seven times that many.
I'll be paying attention to other things (family) for the next couple of weeks, and have programmed a couple future blog entries to make it seem like something is happening here. I will start the break with a bunch of questions that have bugged me and I can't quite figure out where and how to ask about Outlook and other tech.
Mattias Melcher at x28's blog points to an academic piece by L. Thoms & M. Thelwall, "Academic home pages: Reconstruction of the self" at First Monday. The main finding of the research seemed far too obvious for me. I don't think academic websites are supposed to be terribly interesting either.
I don't know that I am the best person for prognosticating, but my colleagues at the Corante Web Hub are doing predictions together, and I figure I should join them. These are going to be a little different, as I don't think of myself as a pure "technology guy," though I sure have fun with it.
Jon Husband follows the process thread from Ross Mayfield with a nice piece on where he has seen "process" ebb and flow within business. And on top of that, he mentions me as one of two dozen people who have been critical to his understanding in this arena.
If all goes well, this will be my 1000th post to Knowledge Jolt with Jack since I started in May 2003. Thanks to all my readers -- and thanks to all the people out there I read and who inspire me to think and participate.
Terrence Seamon has some interesting thoughts on faciliation skills. Facilitation is a big challenge of the TOC Application Expert training.
I'm moving some things around here at Knowledge Jolt with Jack. I'm slowly going through my archives and adding additional keywords and excerpts to old articles.
This isn't really an All Request Day, like Dennis or Sherry do, but a commenter has asked for my impressions of the TOC training I took this summer.
Thanks to far too much time on my hands, I have now hand-coded a tag cloud for this blog.
Jim McGee and I are going to host a session on KM / Collaboration during BlawgThink 2005, here in Chicago.
I'll be in Cleveland this week (end of September). If anyone would like to get to meet for coffee, I'd be delighted.
Johanna Rothman is reflecting on coaching in "When to Speak and When to Be Quiet." This is a big challenge for me: I love to provide the "answer" when a topic arises and I think I know something.
