Dan Bricklin on Blogs in Business
Dan Bricklin (co-creator of VisiCalc, founder of Trellix) posted a great piece a couple weeks ago about the growing importance of blogs in the business world. He focused specifically on the importance of blogs in small businesses. Two quotes stand out:
It is important to understand that the purpose of a blog is not always to […]
Howard Dean for President?
The first time I read about Bill Clinton, I was living in France and it was in the Lexington column in The Economist. It was about a dark horse candidate, someone who was willing to be a bit different in an effort to establish an independent voice early in the campaign for the presidency.
I wonder […]
Blogs in Academic Research
I asked this morning for a way to automatically add paragraph numbers to blog posts. Why? Thanks to an e-mail from reader Edward Chiu, I realized that there’s really no way for researchers to adequately cite to blogs. This is a big deal in the legal world, and I imagine it would have applicability in broader […]

Paragraph Numbering Macro
Does anyone out there know how to create a Radio macro that will automatically number paragraphs? (I would like each post to include paragraph numbers; they wouldn’t be sequential.) If you do, drop me a line.
Meeting bloggers
John Robb reports on the difference of meeting someone through their blog:
… The difference with people that have weblogs is:
1) We don’t have to exchange business cards. They know where I am located on the Internet. I know where they are located on the Internet. My personal weblog has spam-free e-mail, and a link to instant […]
Five Minute Legislation
Without a doubt, Ernie has got to be one of the top two or three Swedish-Colombian lawyer bloggers on the Internet living in New Orleans (rim-shot).
Check out his post on Five Minute Legislation. Says Ernie: “The current system produces many convoluted laws that clearly don’t work and cause enormous confusion, so how much worse could it be […]
Weblogs are Critical to KM Success
Jim McGee’s post “Making people smarter isn’t the point“ got me thinking about a couple parallel threads going on in a number of blogs in the past week:
Phil Windley points out that he has trouble pulling ideas out of people’s heads, and I respond that you wouldn’t always know which ideas to pull.
Matt Mower and Lilia […]
In a World…
Thanks to Jason Kottke for pointing this out:
Comedian is coming to a theater near you. The trailer is a riot.
Site update: more topics added
I have grown to really like liveTopics. Converting from Radio’s categories to liveTopics has been cumbersome (as it matures, I imagine Matt might offer a conversion utility), but worth it. You can now browse a topical outline of all posts on this site here; it is now complete for July and August. I will periodically […]
