There are a variety of articles and papers that I continue to draw insight from and find myself recommending to others on a regular basis. I decided it would be a useful exercise to assemble them into one set of pointers, add a little bit of commentary, and make it available.
I limited myself to materials [...]
The conversation about technology and organizations has been enriched with a new blog, Difference Engine, by my long-time friend and colleague, Abbie Lundberg. Of course, as Editor in Chief at CIO Magazine, we’ve been benefiting from her perspective and insight for years. Now, we’ll get it a bit less filtered and a bit more personal. [...]
One of these years I am going to make it to PopTech with Buzz. He’s been twisting my arm for as long as I’ve known him to do so. Hasn’t meshed with my schedule yet.

I confess that I skipped right past this when it showed up in David Gurteen’s blog. Fortunately, someone else also pointed it out.

What is information architecture? The slide show.
The always enjoyable Andrew Hinton has an insightful, witty, surprising set of slides ‘n’ text that tries to explain not only what Information Architecture is, but [...]
There’s in interesting essay in the most recent issue of Smithsonian Magazine on the importance of understanding whether you are working on a puzzle or a mystery written by Gregory Treverton, who is the Director of RAND’s Center for Global Risk and Security.
There’s a reason millions of people try to solve crossword puzzles each [...]
I’m very flattered to be included on this list. More importantly, there are quite a few other blogs talking about mindmapping that I wasn’t aware of that I will now be checking out.
Mindjet Recommends Mind Mapping Blogs and Resources

The map [...]
“Melancholy Elephants” provides powerful insight into the relation between an intellectual commons, the creation of news works of art, and the potential unintended consequences of perpetual copyright. It turns out that I’ve pointed to this story in the early days of this blog. It’s well worth reading again.
