Would you rather do a few things well or a lot of things badly? For now, I’ve chosen the latter.
The “kaleidoscope model” of career decision-making might be relevant here:
Recently Lisa Mainiero and Sherry Sullivan (2005) suggested that there might be alternate explanations about women’s career decision-making. In their article Kaleidoscope Careers: An Alternate Explanation […]

January approaches; time to figure out what we want to make happen in 2007. Here are my goals for the coming year:
Get a book contract. That list of top technology books of 2006 really bummed me out. Where are the women? So maybe I can’t get a book published in 2007, but I bet I […]

From Ellen Langer’s On Becoming an Artist:
Mistakes, like all evaluations, are context-dependent. In one context a mistake is an error, while in another it can be a surprise advantage. Others have spoken to the dual nature of mistakes but typically in reference to grander events. We all have heard that “there is opportunity in chaos.” […]

Thanks everyone for all the congratulations and welcomes and good wishes on my new work with RedMonk.
Just so you know where you can find me online, here’s the rundown.

I suggested to Shelley that the reason her semantic web post didn’t appear on techmeme was because of blog churn (referring to her refactoring of her blogging across various sites) and not because of gender discrimination; she pointed out how I was wrong, and I stand corrected. But I think the concept of blog churn […]

Shelley Powers is in the midst of refactoring her blogging again. That makes me bold enough to tell you about my own blogging plans. I can’t tell all, not yet, but I can sketch it out at least. And I will start with a little bit of history, because this is my blog, and I […]

We’re too caught up in thinking we can predict and control the future. I see it with my friends who want to plan their childbearing and career jointly to the nth degree. Then they have trouble getting pregnant. Or they don’t and they’re surprised at how fast it happens. Or, sadly, their children have grave […]

Why do many venture capitalists and technology executives feel that teams need to be geographically concentrated? As Cote’ pointed out, open source movements function quite well with internationally dispersed workforces, with team members who rarely if ever meet face to face. But open source efforts hew to an entirely different model of operations than typical […]
