What I'm Working On

What I'm Working On

I have another installment of that "Edelman: Year One" series in the works. Things got busy all of a sudden, so I've been pecking out said installment a little bit each evening.

You've probably also seen my experiments with Kubuntu Linux. What can I say? Some people build ships in bottles. Some work on old cars in their garages. I screw around with alternative operating systems. I must say, I've been very impressed with Kubuntu.

What I've been tinkering with most these days is helping to craft Edelman's own take on the social media press release meme that Tom Foremski started and Todd Defren has pursued with aplomb. Getting there...

In one of my year-one installments, I mentioned my work on a distance-learning system. This has been continuing, though the pace of innovation these days challenges one's ability to separate the wheat from the chaff. As cool and relevant as some new search tool or memefriending site might be, for example, (and as much as I want to share it), is it necessarily something I want to put in front of 2,000 Edelfolks? Then again, am I screwing up by not getting it out there fast enough?

"There are a lot of interesting problems out there," SRI's Curt Carlson once told me. "We have to concentrate on the important ones."
