Steve Johnson fan news…
The Washington Post has quite an amusing article about Steve. The author, Bob Thompson, went to Steve’s apartment angry about the book and you can see Bob trying to dislike him. But, as all who have met Steve know, that just isn’t possible.
Lilly and Tim’s NY adventure
A friend and coworker from my days at Open Text tells a story about a fine day walking through Manhattan with her boss Tim Bray, drinking some beer and maybe a bit too much single malt Scotch. And that’s just the beginning. [Technorati tags: Postmodern Sass TimBray Bosses]

Assessing conversations
A teacher who heard my talk at the NECC last night has sent me an email wondering how teachers (pre-college) can “evaluate and assess the level of student contributions to conversations.” No fair disputing his premise that he has to assign grades, because we’re talking about a public school system under increasing back-asswards demands for more and more “accountability” and testing. So, given that he has to give grades, if he moves more to a conversational model, how can assess students’ participation? Do you know of any interesting approaches to this?
Thanks. [Technorati tag: education]

Steven Johnson in the funnies
Everything Bad Is Good for You got an oblique reference in the Sunday Doonesbury. That, along with appearing on Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show, has to be on Steve Johnson’s life list… [Technorati tag: SteveJohnson]

Fair, but snippy, play
From USA Today:
With boy safe, searchers celebrate
Prayers answerd in Utah mountains as lost 11-year-old is found after 4 days
Maybe I’m feeling snippy this morning, but in the interest of fairness, I expect to see a headline like the following soon:
Body of missing pretty white woman found
God turns deaf ear to distraught parents
Yeah, I guess I’m feeling snippy.

Where the raging rivers join
RageBoy writes what may be the least corporate blog post to ever appear as an official corporate blog post. Called “Lashing them together” — the “them” refers explicitly to a writer’s sentences but sentences are not the only ones who receive the edge of RB’s cat o’ nine tales — this is a cauldron of ideas and gestures that is about child rearing the way Mt. St. Helen’s was about the even distribution of ash. [Technorati tag: RageBoy]

Your life as a comic book
Comic Life (Mac only) turns a series of photos into comic book format, complete with captions. The Flickr feed of the results is pretty cool.
