Space-age illustrations gallery
Magnificent space-age illustration gallery.
Dreams of Space is an enthusiastic and wonderful gallery of vintage space-related illustration from the 1890s to the 1970s, divided by era. Link (Thanks, Charles)

I grew up poring over these illustrations in the 60s figuring that I'd be living in one of these drawings by now. On the other hand, I never figured I'd be writing this on a computer I carry in my backpack.

Another new content management blog
Ideas in Technology and Publishing is a great new blog covering content management, XML and other publishing related technologies. It's less than a month old so it's still possible to read through the archives in full, which I've just done and recommend to anyone with an interest in content management.
Another new blog looking at content management. Here is the RSS Feed.

Copyright cops in the NYTimes
“You Coulld Be Next”. A Cartoon in the NYTimes?
“On copyright – the Copyright Cops – outlining many of the favorite examples of just how pervasive copyright (and copyright infringement) has become in modern life.” [Furdlog]
And make sure you’re reading Furdlog daily because Frank is doing a fantastic job covering filesharing and copyright issues.
Ridicule may be the most effective tool available to address copyright in its current incarnation. And listen to Jenny; Furdlog should be in your aggregator.
Devil's Dictionary on Copyright
Devil’s Dictionary on Copyright. The new edition of The Devil’s Dictionary has many swell corkers, but I’m quite partial to this one:
copyright, noun
The notion that you can protect from the future what you stole from the past.

Knowledge at Work – Denham Gray's new blog
Where are the KM discussions?. There seems to have been a dramatic drop in the level of on-line KM discussion across all the key forums since the end of the first quarter '03. Let's take a tour: The EU Knowledge board has closed its forms… [Knowledge-at-work]
Denham Gray starts a blog, Knowledge at Work, in addition to his KMWiki and his frequent thoughtful comments on existing blogs. I've certainly benefitted from his generous contributions to my thinking. I've subscribed to his feed and am looking forward to being able to follow his contributions more easily.
Denham is focused on the interactions between knowledge workers level of knowledge management, so it's intriguing that he's picked up on a drop in activity in discussion forums and email channels devoted to KM. Certainly, in my own case, I've found a blog to be a better forum for striking a balance between developing my ideas about knowledge management and knowledge work and sharing those ideas with the broader community of interest/practice around the topic. I find the signal to noise ratio of blogs much higher and much more susceptible to management than in threaded discussions or mailing lists.
