Every once in a while..
OK, so I’m not the dedicated blogger I hoped to be about a year ago. Life happens! Still every once in a while I think about adding to this and someone reminds that I need to update or add something to one of the rant/entries on this site. Well, simply put I’m at a sticking [...]

Over the past week I have been brushing up on my database and spreadsheet skills. Once again, I come face-to-face with one of the function capabilities within databases and its spreadsheet byproducts: the combination of strings, or concatenated fields and cells. Other than being a fun way to say, “merging,” the concatenated object may provide [...]

Updates
I’ll spare y’all the sob story, but this has been a crappy couple of weeks. Last week I had the flu and this week it’s bronchitis. So, my game is off. I’m trying to make some headway with piecing together fragments I’ve been collecting and writing over the past several weeks…I wish I could call [...]

Building and other textures…
I’ve been considering some of the various components that contribute to collaborative work. In one way or another we all work in a collaborative environment – some or more obvious. Even if your job requires wearing an intercom headset and hovering over a deep fat fryer (hairnets optional) – yeah, I’ve been there, too. But [...]

Over the past week I’ve been doing some work-related research on some systems architecture and history. Since the deadline was a little flexible and final deliverables were sufficiently vague, I took this opportunity to pay attention to some information sharing, searching, and general behavioral stuff (yes, I think that should be a technical term). Here’s [...]

Sexy divides…
OK, the title may put me in searches I don’t want to be, but maybe this will open some eyes to things other than Britney Spears latest navel gazing adventures! So, if that’s you…buckle up and hang on…this ain’t even soft-core (it’s medium-core thinking with your other head!) – or click here.
Before I begin…let me [...]

Get a life…
Here’s an interesting story about Second Life: a US House of Representatives committee held the first congressional hearing in Second Life. I didn’t look into this, but it sounds believable enough. My alter ego Zen-like self asks, “is there a difference between the “virtual” and the other Congress?” And how can I tell them apart?
Second [...]

Again, I reference the Songbook of Mr Jimmy Buffett (or loosely paraphrasing), “if I’d known then what I know now.”
Clichés
What is it about clichés that are so seductive, easy to reach for, and use without even really thinking about it? Sure, there are those among us that probably spend hours searching for the right cliché [...]

Homage to Gordon Gecko…
“Greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms, greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind.” [my emphasis]
(Wall Street, 1987)
I guess that’s the thing [...]

Bringing documents to life…
Have you noticed I seem to be commenting on email a lot? I have, and maybe that means something. Anyway, the title for today comes from an AIIM offering for some XML-related training.
This raises two questions in my head: 1) I never knew documents had died; and 2) why does the computer world employ biological [...]
