Today as I was browsing for a piece of unrelated information, I came across a couple of links on caffeine and the various roles and impacts scientists are showing that it has on our bodies. It’s really fascinating reading, so I thought I would summarize a few of caffeine’s pluses and minuses here.

A few days ago I participated in the U.S. Institute of Peace’s serious games seminar, called “Smart Tools for Smart Power: Simulations and Serious Games for Peacebuilding”. It was a good agenda, and the audience was actively involved with both providing information to supplement the presenters and in raising questions that added a lot of depth to the presentation. They plan to have a video archive of the meeting available on their web site in about two weeks. Here are some notes and thoughts on the sessions. Be sure to read Part 1, too.

Communities in virtual world parallel traditional communities in that they can be affinity groups, gaming groups, family groups, business groups, fan groups or just about any other sort of community. 3D environments enable participants to have a more realistic interaction with one another than is possible using text chat tools.

I decided to try again with wiki editing, and created an entry for “Connection Finders” software on the public blog on CPSquare. I’ve been researching new and emerging KM technologies recently, so I thought it would be fun to branch out a bit in that direction. Here’s what I have so far. The wiki is open to the public, so feel free to add your comments here or over there.
