best slippery slope ever
“Why shouldn’t I work for the N.S.A.? That’s a tough one, but I’ll take a shot. Say I’m working at N.S.A. Somebody puts a code on my desk, something nobody else can break. Maybe I take a shot at it and maybe I break it. And I’m real happy with myself, ’cause [...]

Sir Isaac Newton once said:
I know not what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem tohave been only like a boy playing on the sea shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all [...]

Official Google Reader Blog: “We found it!”
The Google Reader Team just improved my experience reading blogs and following various RSS feeds - again. They did it this time by adding search.
Go figure, Google added search.

This [UPDATE: link to Wikipedia's KM page] is a really good answer to this question. I am the new Knowledge Manger at ECG Management Consultants. Sometimes I can explain what that is in a really simple and clear way. Other times it’s much more difficult and very wordy. Today, I was [...]

This morning, during my bus ride to work, several passengers were smirking and pretending not to listen to the cell pone conversation of a younger person and his friend. This boy was about 13 or 14 years old. Cell phones and text messaging are a normal part of his life. “No, dude! I send hella-text [...]

MIT puts entire curriculum at disposal of e-learners
I’m also noticing unique things as I learn more about educational organizations that provide education in various forms, most obviously in this case, for free! Also, in this case, 60% of web site visits are from outside of the United States.
