Leda Dederich posted a great summary of Guy Kawasaki‘s NTEN keynote in Seattle. She writes: (KEJ) When we talk about nonprofits using technology, which is what this conference is about, I want to see a strong and intentional connection to a real-world theory of change. Because if that’s not what we’re here for, then [...]
My friends Emy Tseng and Andrew Brown are playing with their jazz band at the Emerald Garden Vietnamese Restaurant in Alameda next Friday, March 31, from 6:30-9:30pm. I’ll be there, and hope to see you as well! (KEI)
The process of writing my entry on community engagement and Dynamic Knowledge Repositories reminded me of Chris Dent‘s recent post on “Effective Reading.” He writes: (KE4) I proceed from the assumption that as knowledge workers our primary job is to communicate.

One of the benefits of working on the Hyperscope is not just working closely with Doug Engelbart, but also with many of his long-time colleagues, not the least of whom includes Christina Engelbart, his daughter and former business partner.

Super coolness. (KCP) (This, by the way, is an excellent example of Leave A Trail. Paul is part of the Church Of [...]

With a small group, the project manager or group leader can take on the responsibility of keeping others informed. If it’s a single organization, you can theoretically mandate a communication strategy from above, although in reality, this doesn’t work [...]
This past Tuesday night, we had an Augment jam session. Here I am using a thirty year old Chording Keyset to play with a forty year old piece of software. (KC0) (KC1) Puts a chill down your spine. Thanks to John Deneen for taking the pictures. (KC2) The original Augment server is [...]
One of the new projects I have the joy of being involved with this year is Doug Engelbart‘s Hyperscope. Doug recently got a bit of NSF funding to build an Open Source prototype of his vision for a Hyperscope, and Doug asked me to lead the project. (KAT) You can read more about the [...]
