Dear Bill: not the same old John anymore

Sunday, June 22nd, 2008

This week will continue in “blogging lite” mode as kids race to finish certain commitments that involve some help from me in the transportation department, while I take a stab at housekeeping on a couple of real and virtual fronts. My brain is on fire with a wild idea, sparked by last week’s UDI luncheon […]

Still here, take two

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

Edit/update (see end of post) It’s called “take two” because I started an earlier post with the “Still here” title. Somehow, that never made it past the “draft” phase… This is just a quickie to let whoever still reads here know that I haven’t spontaneously combusted or anything. It’s busy around me, which is a […]

Articles page updated

Tuesday, February 12th, 2008

It took a while, but I just uploaded my February 2008 FOCUS Magazine article, Ditch height restrictions; adopt “good design” prescriptions to my Articles published (etc.) page. Might take a while to download, but it’s up. (Update, 12/17/08: I changed the link for this article to direct readers to Scribd, which is where all my […]

Housekeeping. Breadcrumbs.

Monday, February 11th, 2008

My February FOCUS Magazine article has been in print since the end of January, but I haven’t yet posted it as a PDF (above, see masthead). It’s just one of several “loops” I need to close — somehow that GTD thing doesn’t always work for me… Another potential technical glitch is that my Harvard server […]

Poisoned fruit?

Sunday, January 20th, 2008

For anyone actually visiting / reading this blog, it must seem that my having gotten over a bout of December pneumonia, during the course of which I wrote much (laid up in bed with my laptop), also “cured” me of daily writing. Not quite, as I’m still writing (but not necessarily publishing it here). It […]

My FOCUS articles online (updated)

Sunday, January 6th, 2008

Slowly but surely, I’m getting there: scanning my FOCUS Magazine articles and converting them into PDFs, which I’m posting to my Articles published in FOCUS Magazine page, link visible at the top of this blog’s header. So far, I have posted November 2006, December 2006, February 2007 through June 2007 (I didn’t have an article […]

Diigo Daily Public Links, update

Sunday, December 23rd, 2007

Since that first, overly surfeited with information, Diigo Daily Public Links blog a couple of days ago, I altered the parameters — cleverly, I thought, to include only the links themselves, tagged “links” (so that the entry would be tagged “links” on my blog). Not a good idea, because what I inadvertently did was to […]

Oops, a surfeit of information

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

The Daily Blog Post update worked (see the entry preceding this one), but I think I need to alter the parameters.  Talk about an avalanche of annotations!   I’ll change it to post only the links, and not all the stuff I underline or “backtalk” to…!

Links posting

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

I use a really great service called Diigo, which has many features I’ve left unexplored. I’ll try to remedy that by installing the “Daily blog post” tool, which (as I understand it) uploads my public Diigo bookmarks once a day to this site (the vast majority of my bookmarks are private, but I’ll try to […]
