Why does the 'Books' essay not talk about books?

I created a 'Books' essay a few days ago, with the intent of putting up a page with current books I'm reading.  Instead, I got sidetracked into trying to come up with a nifty way to generate the booklist of a database.  That's a classic trap technical people fall into, and it's a little embarassing because I'm always telling people to eschew jumping into fancy technical solutions and instead just to solve the problem.

Technography - interesting, but where did it go?

I ran across a reference to technography, which is essentially using technical tools to move meetings forward.  This article refers to site called CoWorking, but at the moment I can't actually find anything about technography on that site.

In the context of Manila/Frontier/Radio, one technique used in technography is to create real-time meeting notes by using a laptop and an outlining program. 

I've been using that technique for years to take notes for meetings, usually using MS Word.  My main frustration has been that I can't get Word to print an outline in outline form; it insists on printing a flat form marked up with various sized fonts.  I'll swear that once upon a time I was able to make word do this.

http://technography.userland.com also has useful information.

What's strange is that although I find a number of references to technography on coworking.com via Google, all those pages don't seem to exist; when I go to the coworking site, I don't see any useful references.  Similarly, I've seen a couple of references to technography.com, but I get a 404 when I go to that site.  What's going on?
