It’s almost the end of the month – my March article is due in a few days and I realized I hadn’t yet posted my (published) January 2009 Focus Magazine article. So, here it is: Building bridges and start-up muscle in Victoria (PDF on Scribd.com). I heart this one – it’s about design (constraints and […]

As I mentioned in my last post, I’ve been commenting on a couple of other sites. As a result, I started mulling over the odd (to me) idea that having a PhD from Harvard and having taught at MIT and Brown is meaningful over and above the ideas I try to contribute when I write […]

In a move that surprised me pleasantly, Focus Magazine – the Victoria/ South Island magazine to which I contribute monthly – has a new website where readers can download (in PDF) the entire magazine, just as it appears in print. It’s a new feature. On the site, they included not just the current (January 2009 […]

I managed to scan & upload a few more articles, this time starting with October 2006, and managing to get through half of 2007. See my Scribd page here for details – there are now 3 folders (2006, 2007, 2008), to make it easier to find articles chronologically. Next up, finish 2007, and then do […]

Yay me, and Scribd to the rescue… The remaining three FOCUS Magazine articles are up. They are, in order: Overdue: rethinking the library (May 2008) The February to March lockout exposed library board dysfunction. But perhaps it’s about time we thought about a new building, as well. Let’s demo co-development (June 2008) The synergistic power […]

Scribd works like a charm — it’s just I who am slow in getting these print articles scanned and then formatted into a single document for uploading! Without further ado (but a bow to Richard Florida for title inspiration), here’s my April 2008 FOCUS Magazine article, Who’s your heritage?, which argues that even for heritage […]
