Limiting access to technology at client site: Bad for technologists?
http://skonkwerks.net/facibusreviews/index.php/2007/04/22/li...
Steve Collins works in burst mode. So do I. One of the things that Steve mentions in his posting is that a lot of Australian Government organisations limit access to web technology - access to del.icio.us is banned in this Department, access to Skype is banned in another. This is not limited to Australia - Boing Boing has been banned in Boston.
Is this a bad thing? If it gets in the way of the way workers do their work, then yes, it is a bad thing.

Are you a webscab?
http://skonkwerks.net/facibusreviews/index.php/2007/04/20/ar...
Howard Hendrix, Vice President of the Science Fiction Writers of America, says that you are a webscab if you let people access your writing online without charge. I write, I blog, I am not a webscab.

Taxonomies are not the enemy
http://skonkwerks.net/facibusreviews/index.php/2007/04/19/ta...
Taxonomies are a way of pigeonholing information - a place for everything, and everything in its place. Classic examples are the Linnaean taxonomy of living things and the Dewey Decimal Classification system used in some libraries. Taxonomies are not the enemy - they are vital because they involve the taxonomists in the process - and they allow for at least one browse facet that is common to all people in the organisation.

Contexting mobloggerese
http://skonkwerks.net/facibusreviews/index.php/2007/04/14/co...
What are mobloggers (and others) doing about adding context to sketchy notes gathered at conferences and during committee meetings? What is the best way to make and keep the notes relevant to their audiences?
