Working in such informal fields as Communications and/or Knowledge Management is always open to criticism of legitimacy. How can your actions and strategies be made valid and valuable for your organization? Especially in times of crisis this is an important question that needs to be addressed. In this regard, the InfoWissWiki (sorry, german only) is a useful resource to give your work a scientifc and proven foundation. There’s even an accompanying blog that covers a broad range of topics related to Information Studies.

Maybe i’m late with that, but New Scientist has published a gallery of mesmerizing deep space photographs in commemoration of the 100 Hours of Astronomy-event, which took place from April 02 til 05. I only wish these pictures had a higher resolution, they would look great on my desktop. Right now, thinking about it, they would look even better rasterbated and put up on my living room wall.

Word just got out that Prezi, a really great online tool that allows you to create stunning flash presentations, went public. I tried it some time ago and it is just wonderful. If you want people to be blown away by your presentation, you absolutely have to give it a try.

There is no defending myself against the accusation that this blog is getting too much SharePoint-centric. My only excuse is that calculated columns are way, way underused in SharePoint and are a mighty tool for various purposes. These sites compile almost all (i am joking, of course, i can only scratch the surface in this regard) there is to know about calculated columns:

  • SharePoint Formulas and Functions at MS [Link]
  • Examples of Common Formulas at MS [Link]
  • Also make sure to take a look at the ‘Taming the Elusive Calculated Column’-series at EndUserSharePoint, great stuff [Link]
