February 28, 2006 » Einstein on Online Facilitation
This gem from Nancy White (via Hetemeel.com) cracked me up: (K9U) (K9V) I don’t know, Nancy. Physics is pretty damn hard. (K9W)

February 27, 2006 » No SDForum Talk Tonight
Unfortunately, Jeff Conklin had to cancel tonight’s talk due to flooding near his home. We wish Jeff the best, and will reschedule him for sometime in the near future. Sorry for the change in plans! (K9S)
February 27, 2006 » Tonight: Jeff Conklin on Dialog Mapping

February 27, 2006 » Purple v0.9
After RecentChangesCamp earlier this month, I drove up to Seattle to visit Chris Dent and others. Chris and I spent a day talking shop and life, and also taking care of a few things that we’ve been discussing for a while. The biggie was extracting the Purple Number generator from PurpleWiki into its own library [...]
February 25, 2006 » Dumbells and Collective Intelligence
I’ve been a member of 24 Hour Fitness ever since I moved out here, mostly frequenting their Mountain View location. Now that I’m in San Francisco, I go to the location on Ocean Avenue (when I’m not sitting on my lazy butt, that is). Here’s the amazing thing about that location. It’s about three times [...]
February 25, 2006 » Clean Hacking Stations
Fun Fact About Eugene #322: I’m obsessed with cooking shows. There’s nothing I like better on a Saturday morning than rolling out of bed, turning on PBS, and watching Jacques Pepin work his magic. What’s amazing about these chefs is that they always have a clean cooking station. Always. It’s apparently a principle they teach [...]
February 25, 2006 » The Pete Paradox
Peter Kaminski has a great maxim, which those of us who know and love him commonly call The Pete Rule: (K8N) “Time together in person is too important to spend working.” T (K8O) I think it’s a great rule, but there’s a corollary, which I’ll call The Pete Paradox: (K8P) Time together [...]
February 23, 2006 » Speed Geeking
Speaking of giving credit where credit is due, I love the fact that the Speed Geeking meme is spreading. And I would love it even more if people credited superstar facilitator Allen Gunn (Gunner to those who know and love him) and his superstar organization, Aspiration, for coming up with the idea and gifting it [...]
February 23, 2006 » The Price of Openness
By many accounts, Mashup Camp was pretty cool. But there were elements of the event that were most definitely uncool. (K83) Ryan King, one of the instigators behind the original Bar Camp, said it best: (K84) On news.com.com.com.com today, there’s a pretty silly puff piece about the camp, focusing mainly on David Berlind, [...]
February 4, 2006 » RecentChangesCamp Caricature
Hello from Portland! Raymond King organized a clever and fun activity at RecentChangesCamp. He took mug shots of everyone who arrived, then sent those to an artist in California, who whipped up caricatures of everyone. Here’s mine: (K5F) (K5G) What do y’all think? Does it resemble me? (K5H) (K5I) Update: As [...]
