Sunday's Palm Beach Post has a special report on an ongoing corruption scandal that includes a simple network diagram of the cast of characters.
Jens Poder has a nice article on his childhood dreams, and it makes me think about my own.
Craig Roth has some interesting thoughts in Why Do We Care About Top 10 Lists?. I particularly like his setup of the idea of a "permanent Top 10 filter" and his description of the value behind social filtering.
Via StumbleUpon, I found Idiagram's / Marshall Clemens' beautifully-illustrated The Art of Complex Problem Solving with mouse-over detail to the baseline graphic.
Robert Gaskins, inventor of PowerPoint, has a Viewpoint article in the December 2007 Communications of the ACM in which he describes the starting point for PowerPoint 20 years ago.
I came across an interesting paper from 2001 that talks about uncertainty and ambiguity in relation to knowledge strategies.
James Robertson is continuing his thoughts about collaboration with this paper, "Collaboration is about people."
Doing some advertising for a new-to-me networking site around product management, Catalyze. They appear to be focused on usability and business analysts, but product management is in their larger world.
Valdis Krebs points to some more research that confirms the Allen Curve works.
Many things can happen in 20 years. In early October, Gary Hamel (and Tom Stewart) re-asked "What Does the Future of Management Look Like to You?" There have been a lot of responses since then.
David Gurteen's latest Knowledge-Letter contains an interesting piece, suggesting that IT is the cause of Lotus Notes failures - not the underlying technology. This can happen with just about any department.

Check out this humorous take on All I want for Christmas - Daddy Bone doing Zombies Eating My Brains.
Conference news is in the air. ASIS&T will have another International Conference on Knowledge Management in October 2008 in Columbus, OH.

Ouch! This week's Chemical & Engineering News reports, FDA 'In Crisis'.

Someone on the ActKM mailing list suggested that KM was like paining - it is seen as important, but there are always plumbing emergencies that get the urgent dollars instead.
I received a review copy of Personal Information Management edited by William Jones and Jaime Teevan. It's a topic in which I have a great interest, so it makes sense for me to review the book.
A friend pointed to the PsyBlog article "Why We do Dumb or Irrational Things: 10 Brilliant Social Psychology Studies" that itself lists ten classic studies of human behavior / sociology. Which is your favorite?
Clarke Ching has a useful question, "What is your goal in life?" And I have to say that I can't give a response just now.
