First Principles of Communication
Jerry Michalski looks at how to get less crufty communications technologies.
All the communication technologies we use -- telephones, newspapers, radio, IM, e-mail, mailing lists, TV, books -- are mired in historical cruft that keeps us from seeing clearly what to build next. It is useful to go to first principles, then reexamine whatever communication task you have at hand. So let me suggest the following basic dimensions of communication: timing, audience, mode, length, persistence, production level, identity and permission.The list with explanations and more on my wiki here.

Posner on Copyright
Conservative right begins to see the light on copyright issues.
Judge Posner criticizes the "enormous expansion" of intellectual property law. Howard Bashman reports "Richard A. Posner speaks out against the "enormous expansion" of intellectual property law: Seventh Circuit Judge Richard A. Posner delivered remarks on Tuesday of this week at an event entitled "Intellectual Property Law: A New Perspective." [via How Appealing].Haven't I been saying what a great judge Posner is? [Ernie the Attorney]
Six Sigma and KM
The November issues of APQC CenterView has an interesting article on the intersection of KM and Six Sigma disciplines, and using Six Sigma to define knowledge-based processes. Mini-case studies from Raytheon, Halliburton, and Compaq. This article begins the discussion of how you justify KM based on results.Professionals in both arenas can learn from each other. Six Sigma can learn from KM how to recognize knowledge, as well as processes. Joseph Hofer-Alfeis from Siemens said, "Six Sigma is oriented to the quality of products and processes. If you think of a knowledge-intensive business, 'Six Sigma for knowledge quality' -- the quality of the proficiency, the quality of knowledge flows, and the quality of description knowledge -- should also be a very interesting thing. And exactly what we do with our business owners, when you make a knowledge strategy, is a Six Sigma process; and it ends up in business improvement actions [by] improving the knowledge."

Moving Delayed
Well, I wasted an entire weekend trying to get Radio moved over to my own domain. It didn't take. I'm not sure about all the reasons -- some were my own technical ignorance, some weren't. Some were just oversights on my part (like broken redirects), others have more sinister roots deep within the bowels of Radio.Won't be much blogging this week and I have wasted far too much time on this for now.
New Construction Woes
Well, everything is moved but it's not at all like I wanted -- Radio's ftp driver thrashes like a beached whale soaking up 100% of my CPU. Radio and the new theme don't seem to get along just yet, as it spent all night tying itself into knots trying to upstream.The Radio TCP/IP plumbing is really broken. This is very frustrating.
Construction Ahead: Expect Delays
I don't know how this is going to look. May take a few days to get the kinks out.Arghh. Many things are broken, including the ftp upstream (despite much testing.)
