New book by Nonaka and Ichijo!: Knowledge Creation and Management

This didn't come up in my feeds, but I accidentilly ran into it:

There's a new book out by Nonaka (- you know, from "The Knowledge Creating Company", written with Takeuchi). It's titled: "Knowledge Creation and Management: New Challenges for Managers" (2007).
Looks very interesting! It's not only written by them, but lots of great Knowledge Management thinkers have been asked to write one or more chapters. I ordered it and hope to read it soon and let you know what I think of it.

It's a boy!

On the 26th of September we were blessed with a son. His name is Herman Nathanael (Nathan).

The Known World

I'm also reading "The Known World" by Edward P. Jones. Interesting book about slavery. Let you know what I think about the book when I'm finished ready it. For now: make sure you have a paper and pencil ready when you start reading it, there's lots of names and relationships between characters in the book!

The tipping point

I'm reading this book at the moment and enjoying! I love books that try to go beyond the ordinary and give an alternative view on everyday life. As soon as I finish ready this book, I'll tell you what I liked/disliked/didn't understand. For now: I agree with most of Gladwell's writing. I've read alot about complex systems (edge of chaos) and I'm wondering why he didn't use this knowledge in this book about (sudden) change...

Back in the US

We visited my sister and her husband in Alabama. It was good to be back and see them. We went to an Atlanta Braves game. They played the LA Dodgers and lost... 

Hubbabubba bubblegum

Some good bubblegum: Hubba-Bubba.

Big League Chew

Big League Chew: this was the cool gum I was never allowed to buy. The older kids bought this and of course the baseball players themselves.

Abba-Zaba

When I was little Abba-Zabba was very popular candy. They don't seem to sell it alot anymore. But you can find if you look around.

What you NEED to doooo.....

Here's the proof we were at the Dr. Phil show! When my sister got married in California we visited the show. It was fun! My sister and her husband sent us the following message:

""You need to shut up and listen..." because you're on TV! Check it out!

Come on, Daniel, SMILE!!! This was your expression during your two minutes
of fame. We'll send the TV show on CD (with the fan mail) soon.

How cool it this!

Dilbert

Love the Dilbert comics. They're so recognizable. I didn't like them as a student, because I didn't think they were funny - I just didn't understand the work humor. Now I'm working I do and I think they're hilarious.
