I got an email on this from my old friend and colleague Chunka Mui. I was going to write it up and post it, but the lazy web comes to my aid once again and Ed Yourdon has done the heavy lifting for me.

The experiment continues. Today is my sixth blogiversary.
When I started this I was teaching information technology and knowledge management topics at the Kellogg School. Today, I’m helping clients deal much the same set of issues. We have powerful technology and new services that promise to make us more effective and productive. Sometimes they actually do. [...]
Since I am hitting the road later today to take my eldest off to Drake University to begin his college experience, this year’s list is particularly relevant.
How This Year’s Frosh Will Make You Feel Older
Beloit releases annual “Mindset List” to help professors understand the worlds (real and virtual) of their newest students.
Although, I would prefer to think of it as taking credit for encouraging Jack to add his insight and voice to the blogging world., rather than blame
It’s been four years
Hard to believe that I have been at this for four years now.
Thanks to all my readers (FeedBurner says there are ~1300 on the [...]
I’ve finally gotten around to porting my old Radio archives over to WordPress. One unintended consequence is that the urls for the individual daily archive entries change. In Radio the archive entry for today would be http://www.mcgeesmusings.net/2007/05/14.html; In WordPress the URL becomes http://www.mcgeesmusings.net/2007/05/14 .
Google searches that point to an old Radio URL end up [...]
Like Rick, I haven’t published a blogroll here for quite some time. Since I do 95% of my own blog reading inside FeedDemon, I don’t pay much attention to them myself. I’m curious as to who might want to see a blogroll here. It would have to be a subset of the 300+ feeds I [...]
Courtesy of Jack Vinson, I found Bill’s blog within days of its start. Since then, Portals and KM has been part of my core knowledge work reading list and Bill and I have had the chance to work together virtually. Later this month, we will finally get the chance to meet face-to-face at the Enterprise [...]
Francois called me earlier this week and persuaded me (it wasn’t hard) to join him as one of the facilitators/participants at this upcoming session in New York in May. He’s getting a really interesting collection of people together and committed to a format that should tap into everyone’s insights and experience. If you use the link [...]
I just got the sad news from Espen. My thoughts parallel Espen’s. Jim was a major intellectual influence in my life and was a remarkable human being.
I remember him as being one of the most non-linear thinkers I know. He saw and understood connections at a far deeper level than most. Trying to follow [...]
It’s time for my next set of adventures.
I’ve left Huron, although I expect to continue to work with them as a contractor. Our paths are diverging and this represents a way to continue to work together when it makes sense and not get in each other’s way when it doesn’t. They’re a great group [...]
