Data, Information, Knowledge, and Wisdom by Gene Bellinger, Durval Castro, Anthony Mills
I have been interested in knowledge management for some time. One of the primary issues with knowledge management is being able to define exactly what knowledge is.
There is probably no segment of activity in the world attracting as much attention at present as that [...]
U.S. is an impatient nation, poll finds, CNN, AP
An AP poll has discovered what we all already know, that the U.S. is an impatient nation. Is this any surprise since the U.S. is also the leading nation with recorded ADD cases. We want it now and anything that takes any extended amount of time we [...]
DEVONthink: An appreciation of “smart groups”, 43Folders, Merlin Mann
There’s a good post on 43Folders about DEVONthink and it’s “smart groups” capabilities. I’ve been using DEVONthink along with their excellent Internet search tool, DEVONagent, for some time and have found both to be a great help in managing and analyzing information.

My wife and I have purchased a home and have spent the last week moving. I thought I could work around the moving and Internet service interruption to keep posting to Meandering Passage on a semi-regular schedule. Boy, was I wrong! It’s been more work then I every imagined. I’ve been getting up early and [...]

ABC Nightly news has been doing evening spots this week about sleep and the human brain. It seems when you sleep the brain replays the days events, establishes relationships with other known facts, and enhances the memory of those events.
So by sleeping on something you’re actually allowing your brain to process all information and work [...]
As of this past Monday I’ve been at my present company for 17 years. Not as good as the 30 year gold watch but still an accomplishment, especially in an I.T. career field. In the last five of those 17 years my level of job satisfaction has been spiraling down, reaching the point [...]

Intel Processors:
MacBook Pro – Apples professional line of laptops comes in 15.4″ and 17″ models.¬† These are replacements for the PowerPC G4 laptops that maintain the same silver aluminum look [...]
I read that we recently, here in the United States, passed the day where we supposedly have worked enough to pay our federal taxes (if all our income to this point was to go to the IRS). Of interesting note, this point was three days later this year then in 2005.
It may seem that we [...]
I was thinking more about customer service and satisfaction. A quick search of the Internet will turn up tons of information on what makes good customer service and what doesn’t. I don’t believe good customer service is terribly complicated. Providing good customer service is basically the act of treating the customer the way [...]
