My data feed/data visualization white paper published by nGenera!

Great sessions at Government Leadership Summit!
Monday, June 2nd, 2008I’ll try to summarize stuff after I get back from the Government Leadership Summit. Major emphasis throughout on emergent behavior, “wisdom of crowds.”

Gotta go: my panel, on Intellipedia, is up next!

While here for my stepson’s graduation, stopped by the college’s Allen Museum to see the exhibit of works […]
