Here’s an excellent bit of news for fans of ActiveWords. Marjolein Hoekstra, an active and avid ActiveWords user in the Netherlands has started a blog on ActiveWords and how to use it more effectively. Only a handful of entries right now, but based on her contribution to the ActiveWords mailing list, this one is going to be a keeper. The RSS feed is here.

Building an ActiveWords Library. This hands-on column deals with my latest thrill: writing ActiveWords scripts. Be warned, I consider it a highly addictive habit. Designing active words scripts has almost become second nature to me these last few months. I’d like to use this… [AWesome]

This is great news. Buzz and Scoble have pushed David Allen into blogging. Allen’s work is “must read” if you have any interest in being more effective as a knowledge worker at all. There is an RSS feed – Subscribed!

David Allen…”Rocks”….. Last night Robert Scoble and I spent about an hour talking with David Allen. I had been chatting with a reporter with the WSJ, talking about blogging, showing him some ideas, and I was just looking to see where traffic… [buzzmodo]

This is excellent news. Schneier is one of the most cogent thinkers about risk and security issues and having Crypto-Gram available in RSS will make yet another improvement in my productivity. Compared to RSS, email newsletters are increasingly lame. I find I rarely get to them in any kind of timely way.

Bruce Schneier’s Crypto-Gram now has an RSS feed!.

If you have any interest in information security you’ve got to be reading Schneier. Now you can read him in your RSS aggregator.

The article is available for single item purchase, but heck, subscribe to the magazine so you can access why technologies succeed as well.

Buzz is now the third or fourth person I trust who’s told me I need to go see what Kunstler has to say. This, of course, is the risk of following people you trust in the blogging world. Your reading list grows well beyond anything you can possibly hope to complete no matter how fast you can read. Instead, you have to exercise your own judgments about how you are going to manage your information world. Of course, thinking about how you are going to do this explicitly is far better than doing it by default, which is what most of us do.

Talking to Jim…. One of the very bright guys that I met at PopTech! was Jim Kunstler. Jim is a critic of things that I care about. I am trying to get him into the blogging world, but in the meantime, go read… [buzzmodo]

Not being as disciplined as Ernie, I have both gadget sites in my subscriptions list.

New Gadget Site. Gizmodo’s Peter Rojas has started a gadget weblog of his own called Engadget. I’ve replaced the blogroll link for Gizmodo with a link to Engadget, which will give you some indication of my preference between the two sites…. [Ernie The Attorney]
