Here is an evergreen draft resurrected from obscurity. A long time ago I used to post useful or interesting videos on Mondays. The habit didn’t stick and this one from 2008 is still useful!!
This is what I love about the web. Someone learns something they find useful, then they share it! YouTube – video podcast – exercises for tendonitis and carpal tunnel from David Kuckhermann
Dr. Fuzzy, aka John Bordeaux wrote some really cool blog posts about knowledge management, including this one from 2009. (YES, I’ve reached 2009 in my blog draft compost pile!) It was the last post on the Dr. Fuzzy blog. Alas, his second blog after Dr. Fuzzy ended in 2015. His current site is sparse at jbordeaux.com. Are you still blogging somewhere John? Anyway…
In his 2009 post he wonders about knowledge management, knowledge, assumptions and many other cool things. Worth a read if you are a KM geek. Still applicable.
Dr Fuzzy’s Weblog
In all honesty, while the ensuing discussion may appear “abstract” to some, the nature of knowledge should be at least partially understood if one is to consider themselves a practitioner of knowledge management. Else, content yourself to the vital and growing field of information management – there is no shame in this whatsoever.
On Christmas eve, 2009, Josie Fraser (now at http://www.josiefraser.com/) Did a Twitter poll of 100 of her followers to see if, by following her, they had connected to her enough to have some sort of allegiance. I found this humorous AND fascinating, but clearly never got around to blogging about it. I kept the draft because it fit with the tag that I still love, Community Indicators. Community indicators are things that provide evidence of our connection and continuity through community interaction and engagement. What comes of these connections? Just compost, or growth?
SocialTech: Twitter allegiance
I invited 100 of my 1,276 current Twitter followers to fill in a quick survey cunningly designed to provide a fairly wonky measure of community allegiance.
Josie’s folks clearly liked her then, back in the good old, kinder, smaller Twitter days. I wonder what would happen if you repeated your poll, Josie? (I’ll have to Tweet a link out with this!)
I often fondly think of the 7-10 people who still regularly read my blog. I would do many of the things Josie asked for you!!!
Happy Holidays
In my childhood, my mother, Dolores Wright, got a fudge recipe from her friend Nadine Seedall, who said it was the recipe from See’s Candy – then a small local chocolate company in California. It has been made year over year as a family tradition. Some years, multiple batches were made so packages and tins of fudge were given to EVERYONE. Now we make one batch – some to give, some to eat together. Today my grandpeople and I will make this year’s batch, passing the tradition down. The fourth generation in my lifetime so far…
I’ve blogged the recipe multiple times (see here) and offer it as a sweet bit of gratitude to all of you. Happy Holidays!
Communicators Anonymous: Choosing the path of humility
Ah, this dive into the drafts of late 2008 brings a spark of kismet because this year I had the wonderful pleasure of reconnecting with Dr. Lauren Vargas. (Old site, new site) when she and Bill Johnston hosted me for a podcast: How the Pandemic Forced Online Collaboration to Mature with Nancy White. I found Lauren a kindred spirit, and here I unearth a blog post about humility that still resonates. Thanks, Lauren!
