The latest DevOps Enterprise Summit (DOES) wrapped up last week in Las Vegas. Amongst the videos and tweets and blog posts that have come out of the event was a quick interview with Gene Kim on the Agile Amped podcast with Greg Bledsoe of SolutionsIQ.
One of the many people I follow on Twitter, Richard Cushing, has been interviewed and the results posted as "Where Does Your ERP Selection Fit with Your Continuous Improvement Efforts?"
The Boston Globe, David Allen and Farhad Manjoo all have me thinking about personal productivity, and how to go about creating the necessary focus.
Turns out that you can run Flash on iOS, you just can't use applications provided by Apple. Try Diigo Browser or Puffin Browser - at least they work at the time of this writing.

A Robert Scoble video interview with Lisa Petrides of ISKME, where they talk about education and technology and a pending revolution. A number of discussion elements touch on knowledge management too.
I've been enjoying Glen Alleman's rants about the proponents of "project management 2.0." This time he makes some interesting observations about the role of people talking to each other vs. doing status updates.
Even ten years ago, people were saying technology is only an enabler for knowledge management. Is it changing? Yes, and no. Let's see what Chris Collison has to say about the question.
A brief review of Digital Barbarism: Mark Helprin is one angry man. And he wants copyright to stay.
How often do knowledge management efforts get bogged down in the technology? Here's a current media example of the inevitable result. Toyota Europe knew about and fixed a problem a year before a US recall for the same problem.
