Creating an index of weblog posts in Radio. Creating an index of weblog posts in Radio. Inspired by Rob Henerey's suggestion, I've written a Radio script that displays an index of weblog posts for the main weblog or a category. Looking at the output of the scripts, I wish I had started writing post titles earlier than February. [Rogers Cadenhead: Radio Userland Kick Start] If you use Radio as your blogging tool of choice, run, don't walk to get Rogers' latest goodie here. It took me about 3 minutes to download, install, and test. I can already see how this will help me extract more value from the posts I've been making here over time. This is also an excellent example of the extensibility built into Radio. Radio may have its warts, and its user interface leaves a bit to be desired, but that's often true for industrial strength power tools. Thank you Rogers! [McGee's Musings] 6:17:44 PM  comment []  Trackback []     Mapping our way to knowledge management. Part of successful knowledge management in organizations will revolve around how good a job we do at drawing "maps" that help explain and represent this new territory. Dane Carlson offers pointers to some resources we can adapt to that task. You Are Here: Maps 101. How to create a good map. I'll remember this for the next Talk Like a Pirate Day. via The Map Room: A weblog about maps, a good read itself.... [Dane Carlson's Weblog] In the wonderful serendipity that using a news aggregator offers, Frank Patrick's Focused Performance weblog (a great resource on project management brings the following tidbit: A Clarification on Maps and Plans. A Clarification on Maps and Plans -- I recently quoted Alford Korzybski, using his often cited statement, "A map is not the territory." Upon researching it, I didn't go far enough. The complete statement from is actually... "A map is not the territory it represents, but if correct, it has a similar structure to the territory, which accounts for its usefulness." Puts a whole 'nother spin on it, doesn't it? Project plans and schedules can be made to model a "similar structure" to the project itself, sufficiently reflecting reasonable expectations of the future as well as uncertainty to be useful. (I think someone -- who was it? -- once said that "all models are wrong, but some models are useful." If that's so, then I'm comfortable with the idea that some models are more useful than others.) [Frank Patrick's Focused Performance Blog] If those of us talking about knowledge management are exploring new territory, one of our responsibilities is to draw the maps that will encourage those who stayed behind to follow us and show them paths that are safe and interesting to travel.

Ever notice design errors in everyday things? Send them in for a post-mortem to mark at goodexperience dot com. He's cataloging them at This Is Broken. Learning from mistakes.

We are quite literally awash in the technology, machinery, and methods of self-overcoming. So what's the latest thing to hit the self improvement scene? Why it's Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), of course. And unlike many of the would be panaceas of the past, this vanguard technology is leading to promising and reproducible results in laboratories across the world.

[Scripting News] 5:54:45 PM  comment []  Trackback []     Andrew Leonard, lucid as always...(just do something else while the commercial is running so you can read the whole thing.) Filter mojo. The institutions struggling to rid the Internet of porn and spam may have found the one weapon that works: The Net itself. [Salon.com] 5:32:17 AM  comment []  Trackback []     "Politics and the English Language" by George Orwell. As soon as certain topics are raised, the concrete melts into the abstract and no one seems able to think of turns of speech that are not hackneyed: prose consists less and less of words chosen for the sake of their meaning, and more and more of phrases tacked together like the sections of a prefabricated henhouse. [Blogcritics] 5:29:36 AM  comment []  Trackback []     At least some members of Congress have finally started protesting his assault on the first amendment... Protest Restrictions. Back in 1999, after discovering a website parodying his campaign for the Presidency, George W. Bush famously declared that "There ought to be limits to freedom"...
