Full Circle Associates

My last week was spent in an intense "writing huddle" with three colleague/friends. All of us were staying at my house so we were talking and thinking about our subject matter (technologies for communities of practice) every waking hour. With the exception of a break for a field trip to Microsoft Research (Community Technologies group and Social Computing group - Thanks Scott, Marc, Shelly, Danyel and Tamara) my head was totally consumed with trying to find ways to talk about the intersection between communities of practice and technology. You know, it is hard to organize the huge range of technological options in an easy to use manner. It is complicated stuff, to say the least. My brain hurts. But I think we made some progress. We are finishing editing a chapter of a book CEFRIO is putting together as a guide to CoPs, so hopefully this will move us further in our work.

In any case, I have a stack of draft blog posts -- most of which are aging beyond use. I am contemplating junking them all and starting fresh.

Actually, I am more in the mood to think about holiday cooking!!!
