Welcome, indeed. Nancy and I started talking about getting her up and blogging over a year ago. I'd like to think the delay was a function of other things on her plate, rather than testimony to my persuasive skills. Regardless, it's nice to have her here finally.

Welcome, Nancy!. Woo-friggin-hoo! Long-time online facilitation expert Nancy White has finally started her own weblog (did she hear my plea?). The online community toolkit that she’s been building for years is chock-full of great material, which I suppose she’ll do us the pleasure of introducing bit by bit.

A recent post reports on an experiment I’d been meaning to try but had yet to find the right conditions for: having group of chat participants listen the same music while chatting - much as would happen at a party - as a means of creating a shared atmosphere and giving participants a better sense of togetherness. Apparently it turned out very well… I’ll really have to try it. Webjay could make it quite easy.

I think I've done this one before. My score tonight? 50.09862% - Super Geek.

I just did a quick search. I have done this test before with a slightly higher score of 53.25444%.

Are you a geek?. Ken always finds the good tests. He's a a "Total Geek" with a score of 26.23274% (gotta love that precision). I, on the other hand, am a "Poser" with a score of 6.1144%. I'm not sure that's a bad thing :).... [IDblog]

There is also an RSS feed available. Which makes it very painless to test this out.

Wireless Unleashed.

WirelessUnleashed is a new group blog, dedicated to wireless policy, from Kevin Werbach, Andrew Odlyzko, David Isenberg, and Clay Shirky. Based on the author-list alone, it's worth our attention.

Certainly shows a better sense of humor than the average virus. Wonder how many recipients will follow the instructions?

A Poor Man's Computer Virus.

I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry.  It cracked me up though - today in my Inbox:

Hi, I am a Portuguese virus, but because of the poor technology and lack of money in my country I am not able to do anything with your computer. So, please be kind and delete an important file on your system and then forward me to other users. Thank you.
