Poking around the intersection of KM and Social Media
This is not my typical post. My father-in-law passed recently, leaving a veritable treasure trove of metalworking and woodworking machines, tools and accessories collected over decades. He had some great machinery, all meticulously cared for. And it’s all for sale. I’m listing it here to help my wife and her family figure out what the […]
You’ve seen the challenge. It goes like this: The rules: In no particular order, choose 10 albums, one per day, which made an impact (at some point in your life) on you.

I ran my first half marathon as a teenager back in Indiana. It was sponsored by the local McDonalds, who fed us something they claimed were pancakes. Apparently in the 1970s, we didn’t get that carb-loading 30 minutes before race time wasn’t very effective. I don’t remember my time, but it took me a couple […]
