June Chan, Director of International Programs, is so busy zipping back and forth to China representing the ACS that I’ve been able to get her to write for for FISpace only once. So I bribed her with lunch the other day and turned on the recorder to capture the following conversation about what she and [...]
I was flipping through an old Power Point presentation by Valdis Krebs
and I came across an interesting slide that showed geographic
parameters as analyzing networks. After having extensive conversations
at Accelerating Change
on the future of maps, and the metaverse I was amazed that I missed the
opportunity to bring up geo-location and network analysis. Above and
beyond asking participants [...]
Courtesy of Scobelizer, I wound up reading Steve’s Blog. Check out his podcasting equipment and watch David Collin turn green with envy.-) As my kids used to say when they were four and saw toy commercials: "I WANT DAT!"
I’ve been asked to move my blog to allbusiness.com which is a Web site for small (up to 150 employees) businesses.It’s now focused solely on customer service and called Customer Service Experience. I’m limited in the number of links I can put up there, but I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
Feel free to check it [...]

The story goes, "In a bizarre case of art imitating life, players of the Blizzard Entertainment game World of Warcraft suddenly found themselves dying [...]
Amazingly one of the first benefits of nanotechnology may be really, really sensitive detectors of cancer.
Harvard University researchers have
found that molecular markers indicating the presence of cancer in the
body are readily detected in blood scanned by special arrays of silicon
nanowires — even when these cancer markers constitute only one
hundred-billionth of the protein present in [...]
I was visitng the ASPCA site today to learn more about the animals in trouble when I noticed that they had an XML button to let you keep track of their news stories and press releases. So why don’t we have one on cancer.org? I mean bloggers, new sites, and slashdot are one thing, but [...]
Wow! Yesterday I talked with Letitia Thompson of Mid-South Division about Project COMMAND, an electronic health record system for which Letitia and Mid-South won the Futuring and Innovation Center’s first Innovation Award. Great project to configure free software for small physician practices (small practices, not small docs) that helps them track the cancer prevention, detection, [...]
Here’s an excellent summary on how to sharpen your search skills when Googling. Some of you probably already know most of this, but to me, a flashing 12, it really helps. Especially after spending 30 minutes last night trying to help my 6th grader Google what the "D" means on a penny. I knew, but [...]
Thanks to Mediabistro:TVNewser, I came across an article about MSNBC.Com. Their Web site receives more visitors than the Web sites at CNN and NYTIMES. This article also added to my vocabulary; see the reference to "shovelware".
TVNewser also reports that various ABC reporters will start blogging. Looks like the line between MSM and the blogosphere continues [...]
