I enjoyed your preso, Mark. (Saw it Tuesday). It's a nice contrast to my more oblique approach to the topic.

Questions about the study's methodology can probably be answered by reading Barbara Helmrich's 2008 PhD research dissertation on which the cited article is drawn (recall that it takes about two years from when an article is accepted by a journal to its actual publication). You can get the full text of that dissertation for free via ProQuest UMI Dissertation Publishing at http://j.mp/aC4ISH

Thank you, Tran. I will check that out. In the meantime, I've been exploring information about the brain and traumatic brain injury, as in this map of regions and skills: http://www.neuroskills.com/brain.shtml

Sure! That's a great subject, and it is becoming a real recruiting and retention challenge.

I've been thinking a lot lately about how companies and organizations need to genuinely involve employees in the process of crafting a social media policy, and how, to be successful, the company has to communicate their policy in ways that build and reward enthusiasm rather than frustrating employees with legalese and many forms of 'thou shalt not.'

16 years ago @ John McCrory - Freestanding shelves · 0 replies · +1 points

Thanks, Susan. The shelves stood up quite well for three years, even holding lots of heavy architecture and city planning books.

Then I moved to a circa 1930 house with 7" ceilings, so the shelves are too tall to fit and so are in storage. They came apart easily for moving! (FYI, this post dates to 2004, in an earlier iteration of my blog)

To answer your other question: I used brackets that were shorter than the shelves are wide. My shelves are 1"x12" planks and the brackets were shorter -- 9" -- so that the edge of the wooden shelf rests against the wall, not the bracket. The tooth or "hook" simply sinks into the soft wood of the underside of the shelf, which I found helpful because it keeps the shelf from sliding from side to side. I gently hammered each tooth into the wood with a rubber mallet. You can also get brackets without teeth, if you like.

Thanks, Mike. I'm really fascinated by the ways different improvisation techniques play with or against each other to create a converging narrative or a diverging one. There is much to learn there!

Thanks for your comment, Brian. There's definitely a need for those furthest along the path to share their experiences with the rest of us. I hope there will be venues for such talks and presos sooner than a year from now! :)

Great point, Ari. It's really important to practice what we preach about engagement every step of the way. Thanks for contributing that link to the Social Media Policies Superlist, too: Lots of good stuff there.
