Thomas Friedman's: Real War (requires free registration): Summary: The real war is between embracing modernity and pluralism or fighting modernity and pluralism; a battle that has been mostly won in the Christian world. i.e. it is possible to be a devout Christian and embrace modernity and pluralism but it isn't necessarily so for those who believe in the kind of Islam practised by the Taliban. 2:41:43 PM

John Robb: How to automate K-Logs - "Generally, the approach I would take to automate K-Logging is to auto-aggregate as much formatted data and knowledge as I can using my desktop K-Log and then repurpose it to fit my needs. That way, I spend little time looking for info and most of my time publishing my high level analysis of it." - Agreed it's the commentary, analysis and the contextualizing that turns info into knowledge! 2:17:08 PM

The Vancouver Tap Dance Society (of which I am a member) will be having its Christmas Party/Fund Raiser on Monday December 10th at the Heritage Hall at 3102 Main Street in Vancouver from 6:30-8:30p.m. There will be a silent auction, a bake sale of Christmas goodies, door prizes, some tap dance demonstrations, surprise vistors and at the end of the night a Shim Sham (to a very fast tune, NOT Tuxedo Junction). All proceeds go to the VTDS. So come on down, swingers! You are are encouraged to participate in the Shim Sham. We don't care what kind of Shim Sham you do! Dean Collins, Frankie Manning, tap style Shim Shams, etc. are welcome! Bring your tap shoes for the Shim Sham if you have them and can find space on the stage for the Shim Sham. Otherwise if you are doing your Shim Sham on the concrete floor, we recommend you use your street shoes to protect your feet. 1:46:37 PM
