  • Good picture

    Rare enough, but got a really good picture of the boy and I from a few weeks ago.

  • 10 rules for corporate blogs and Wikis

    I’ve got both a blog and a Wiki going now at work, so maybe these rules will be useful. Skimming them, I see they are rules for externally-focused blogs and Wikis, but some things still apply inside the intranet.
