The nonsense of 'knowledge management'
From the abstract:
> Examines critically the origins and basis of 'knowledge management', its components and its development as a field of consultancy practice. Problems in the distinction between 'knowledge' and 'information' are explored, as well as Polanyi's concept of 'tacit knowing'. The concept is examined in the journal literature, the Web sites of consultancy companies, and in the presentation of business schools. The conclusion is reached that 'knowledge management' is an umbrella term for a variety of organizational activities, none of which are concerned with the management of knowledge. Those activities that are not concerned with the management of information are concerned with the management of work practices, in the expectation that changes in such areas as communication practice will enable information sharing.

The Online Photographer: The Trough of No Value
> People sometimes ask me what the best method of preserving their pictures is, and my somewhat flip but I believe trenchant answer is, "be famous."
The idea that things are worthless or, worse, actually cost money to hang onto, means things that might be of value some day get discarded. Mike says craftsmanship will also help preserve things, including photographs, but the other thing you need is space, and preferably a permanent home.

@kitchenBee on the dangers of demonising whole food groups while fetishing others
It makes me sad to think that so many of us come to see this kind of food paradise as something threatening, full of foods we mustn’t eat and joys to be avoided.
Me too
Just for fun, I marked up my recipe for cornbread with syntactic tags that I hope meet the h-recipe spec. Not sure why. http://www.fornacalia.com/2017/cornbread-for-fornacalia #indieweb
