Doug uses A N I M O T O to mash up photos and music to document a panel Chris Lott organized at Northern Voice 2008 on “The blog is dead, long live the blog!” It was fun graphically recording a geeky session. Now it is fun to see Doug’s take on it, months later! Woo hoo!
Ideas flowering
I am heading into a period of intense work and travel, so who knows when I’ll get time to focus on blog posting. Every night my head swirls with things to write about: network collaboration, slow community, short-and-shared reflective practices, things I’ve learned from the many people with whom I am crossing paths, and many more. I have a stack of “draft posts” (mostly bookmarks with short notes as to why I think they are important). No shortage of ideas, just of time. So instead, I leave you a gift of spring that is currently sitting on my dining room table.

And, just for fun, here are some of the URLs I wanted to go back and read carefully and blog about. My eyes are bigger than my stomach, eh?

CPSquare’s Long Live the Platform Event Report
I haven’t read through this report in detail, but I wanted to blog it to get it wider visibility because the sharing the learnings from our community activities is an important (and appreciated) contribution to improving our practices. IN this case – about doing online events for our communities of practice. Check it out — Long Live the Platform Report (application/pdf Object).
What would a Full Circle logo look like?
Like a magpie, I love shiny things. I love beautiful things. Today, I am still in immense gratitude for a gift of photographic art from Chrys Florkowski. But as many of you have noticed over the years, I never really have had a logo or look for my little company, Full Circle Associates.
About a month ago something took me to the art/craft community of Etsy.com and I started to think, hey, maybe someone here can help me with a business card. (I have been making ugly ones myself for years!) I browsed and found two designers and signed up – an identity package from Nicole Byrkit and a business card design from Michelle Brusegaard. Today I asked Nicole if I could share her designs with you, and she said yes. (I have not asked Michelle yet.)
So here they are, four ideas. I’d love your feedback. 1, 2, 3, and 4. Colors and final details are all still up for grabs.
London Gathering in June?
I’m going to be in London, then Lisbon in June. I have to book my ticket pronto, but I thought, hm, should I come in a day early and have a gathering with my lovely London (and vicinity) friends? I will be arriving on the 10th (prolly around midday, jet lagged) and have to work on the 11-13th. Should I come in a day early? Does someone feel energetic and want to organize something? Let me know SOONEST!
After London I’m on to Lisbon for an Elearning Conference, then KM4Dev gathering in Almada, then a few days of VACATION!!!
