Circadian Shift

Linkage, ahoy:

• Eight Technologies That Will Change the World -- not a new article, but my Business 2.0 newsletter saw fit to mention it again this week


• Nine Unconventional Strategies For Reinventing Your Career -- one of the featured articles this week on the newly redesigned HBS Working Knowledge website


• Monkeys Show Sophisticated Learning Abilities -- "researchers observed that the monkeys' learning process exhibited the same basic properties as human learning" (via Complexity Digest)


• Changing or escaping the self -- "When we become self-aware we see who we are and what we would like to be. What do we do? Do we change who we are? Or do we escape self-awareness...." (via Follow Me Here)


• Cybermethods: An Assessment -- "Methods of communication and action on the Internet, such as e-mail, encryption and hacking, can be broadly grouped into four categories: expressing, protecting, information gathering and interfering."

Had enough information overload yet? thought?horizon pointed me to a site called Minciu Sodas (I think I'd come across it before a long time ago). It's a big badass (and multilingual) portal to all sorts of projects and sites related to thinking, idea development, KM (knowledge management) and the like.

I've barely begun to explore, but one page that I did happen upon after following this way and that is this list of Software for Research (using Windows), cataloging all sorts of tools for sifting, wrangling, slicing, dicing, and spewing out information to your heart's content.
