It is mostly a music show. Actually the music is the main point. But I can slip things in, having worked my way up from a guest on the New Exeter Radio Show, a fairly dangerous space but that is another story.
So there may be a new spot , the eleventh hour, that covers aspects of technology.

This is where many people are at and by clarifying this it could be possible to move on to whether quality ideas can help with anything at all, like dissemination. A collection of papers in book form could be one product. From IPEX I am aware that short run books are possible.

I got a bit lost here around the time of the emphasis on leadership and/or critique. not sure about this but it may be possible now to get closer to something I can understand.

The idea of experimentation was always at the heart of modernity’s promise of human freedom and self-determination.

I have followed it mostly through Cloudworks and Twitter (#nlc2010). A lot of content shows up on Slideshare so I have an idea of what is going on. The actual papers will turn up as PDF later.

It is turning more into social media / journalism. Links to bits and pieces. Not sure that is a bad thing. there could be a paper version later. The conference is not till July.

Certainly I got it wrong the first time when I got confused about a RFID number. I now realise this is optional, the unique ID turns up later as a 2D barcode. My friend Gary sent me a PDf of his fridge lighting so then i realised it was possible and persevered. Also one of the first things loaded was BBC Broadcasting House.

So far it seems that a photo and a place are much the same. They offer a 2D barcode for any site or object, then link in stories as other media.
so i have started with a few places in Lancaster - both campus and city centre. The "Star of CCTV" badge is an extra.

I would like to concentrate on why both words are used and what they mean in Japan and USA. But I am not sure about the context.

The linking words are "excellence" and "transparency". There is almost nothing here about how any sort of quality theory might be useful for a university.

Could be confusion, may be some integration between the different blogs I write on. Mostly on the blogs for drupa and IPEX I have speculated that Adobe Classic is coming to an end and that Adobe(FLSH) is the best way to think about where they are heading.

Mostly using too many words. Lancaster Management is there but it mostly seems like a corporate announcement style.

Actually still on holiday in a sort of way. Sidmouth Folk Week is about to start so Exeter is close to a world class event. Too much to miss out on so daily bus trips are possible.

The Bookseller now emails me a daily sumnmary of news including a guess that a Kindle will reach the UK before Christmas. The hard copy has an editorial including an opinion that epub support on Kindle is something US publishers should have insisted on.

More later on photos and video from the campus. I did sort of have web access but used only briefly so as not to test the patience of neighbors lending wifi.

Ning site link here. This has jumped me into a future with some kind of base. There is an energy about linking cloud content and mobile devices.

Paper copies as was. Mostly on the drupa and IPEX blogs I am looking at the move to e-books and digital publishing. Academic journals have mostly moved online but one consequence is that they are even harder to find for non-academics.

There could be collections of readings in very small runs to work out what makes sense to different groups of people.

No wonder there are so few posts. A lot of the ideas I don't mind. Quite happy to support the take on what is taught at business schools. Except that there is still a blindspot on quality.

Do they send these emails to everyone?We've noticed that your slideshow on SlideShare has been getting a LOT of views in the last 24 hours. Great job ... you must be doing something right. ;-)Why don't you tweet or blog this? Use the hashtag #bestofslideshare so we can track the conversation.There are various sites I have tried over the years and a slideshowWillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15235107715610126666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3269943.post-87001677291879675692009-04-01T03:43:00.000-07:002009-04-01T04:04:40.798-07:00An email from Lancaster university suggests i would be interested in a new course on Leadership for Sustainability. Previously I have tried to link in ideas about quality systems but I don't think i have time for more study at the moment. More like blog and twitter level seems to be the case.

There are places to eat that also have web access but it seems the era of the dedicated web retailer is coming to an end. Maybe it means that mobile devices are now good enough.For me the downside includes probably not visiting Twinity for a while. At home my PC is full of junk and Twinity fails to install.

I am trying to do another version of "Hello Spiders" and the "The Going of the Book" as if there is some sequence of events. The theory comes mostly from attempts to study at Lancaster. The problem is how to pass go. I still get the impression that "quality" is not part of the Management Learning scope.

What I wrote in blogs for IPEX and drupa is still making sense so I am starting to think about the ways this could influence approaches to knowlwdge and content.

The Grand Hall Entrance is still the main way in but the immediate space has lost a lot of buzz without the BBC or Apple. BBC is still there on the Pearson stand but nothing like the scale of previously. Jam was cancelled after pressure from competition. Maybe this is the reason for the absence.

In the UK these were often at Olympia. Part of the attraction of BETT is to recover some memories of Olympia at capacity with computer conversation.

I have done a story on this for OhmyNews.My impression is that quality theory is moving with manufacturing outside where the business schools have been.

Found the Deming Forum India though it has moved to Multiply as far as I can tell or at least has more content there.Then I found a link to Orkut where the QUALITY MANAGEMENT group has a large number of members.

More later on how this might help learning. The main problem is still that the people who designed it know Berlin very well. There are no signposts or street names. I have bought a map but still need Google maps as well.This is a bustop, but where? No timetable I can find.Sometimes there is a clue, such as the name of the hotel on the side.
