As I’ve noted before, my blogging seems to be in inverse proportion to sunlight – the last few weeks have been a fabulous spring here in South East England so I’ve found myself losing interest in scouring the network for things to comment on. That, plus catching up with friends, playing on a new bike, and a couple of events I’ll blog about later… But now the UK seems to have returned to Winter again, at least for a while, so maybe I’ll catch up on some things!
Sébastien Paquet: Towards Structured Blogging. And of course this post is an example of that which he describes – pinging as it does both KMPings and the Blog-Network Metablog
Shelley writes We Be Three: Intellect, Spirit, and Heart in which she suggests a new model for understanding the way people communicate (especially in writing) – which filter are they using, Intellect, Spirit, or Heart. She exemplifies each style as: bq. Intellect: I think. Spirit: I believe. Heart: I feel. All of these are at a meta-level to the primary experience – indeed in a comment to Shelley’s post Tom Graves adds reference to the physical layer “I act”.
In Blogs and Knowledge Sharing, Ton picks up the story of why we do this by considering blogs as story-telling – more specifically a way of telling the story of how the writer has discovered some knowledge complete with all the false leads and wrong turns.
Gary Turner is writing about what he’s learned from blogging. Rather than try to extract sensibly here, I suggest you read it… His post struck a chord with me – my response (adapted from the comment I posted over at Gary’s) was something like this… I have a tendency to see links between ideas from totally disparate fields (or fields that are totally disparate according to our subject-driven way of categorising knowledge) – that’s the way my mind seems to work.
Micha Alpern says bq. Some times I want to know what the world thinks (google) Some times I want to know what I think (my weblog) Some times I want to know what those I respect think (blogs I read)…. … and backs it up with code… [ via “The Shifted Librarian”:https://www.theshiftedlibrarian.com/]

Spike Hall is thinking about Knowledge-making and distinguishes between personal knowledge and universal knowledge: Take learning to ride a bike, for example; […] at the end the learner can do more […] and has, therefore, ‘made knowledge’. But it’s not knowlege-making in the universal sense. The universal sense applies when our new knowledge is also [provably, arguably] new for EVERYBODY. Claims for knowledge-making in the universal sense are addressed in the academic and scientific literature.
