Somehow, during #PKyvr33, I want to get this idea across, because I both like and despise how meta I get sometimes… This is a (pecha kucha) PK about my (working out loud experiment) WOLyo which included PKs, including one on PK; and one on WOL. Additionally, this PK was built using WOL (#PKyvr33) Is the idea that I have cubed the process? Or has WOL eaten itself? ←This Much We Know.→ Continue reading #PKyvr33 Day 6: Just How Meta Can I Get? #WOLweek #WOLyo

#PKyvr33 Day 5: Talk About What You Know + What You Think #WOLweek #WOLyo

June 10, 2014June 9, 2014 ThisMuchWeKnow

Working out loud is a call to action: don’t leave your genius on a hard drive, or in this hard drive <taps forehead>, share it. Start with wondering: How can I help? Then #unSquirrel something. When I worked under the stairs I presented 10 Pecha Kuchas in 5 days. Some of the content I could do in my sleep, other topics I am NOT an expert on, but I have a perspective on – one that is not heard much ’round here. Maybe that perspective can help? SURE it can. Let’s WOLyo! I presented on the following topics, (with some colour … Continue reading #PKyvr33 Day 5: Talk About What You Know + What You Think #WOLweek #WOLyo

#PKyvr33 Day 4: Permission To Be Human #WOLyo #WOLweek

June 9, 2014June 7, 2014 ThisMuchWeKnow

I don’t talk a lot about work, or my TMWK focus, when I am home. Family life is busy enough – there is nary a moment for open discussion. This weekend, though, Lori and I went out for dinner and to the cinema, so we had a chance to talk about #PKyvr33, and about the blog. Lori claims to read all the posts, and she gave me some lovely, simple feedback that is prescient to the #PKyvr33 process of explaining what the hell I did under the stairs at work for a week. I made a few notes on my … Continue reading #PKyvr33 Day 4: Permission To Be Human #WOLyo #WOLweek

#PKyvr33 Day 2: Initial Notes #WOLyo!

June 6, 2014June 7, 2014 ThisMuchWeKnow

I am presenting a pecha kucha about working out loud (and on presenting 10 pecha kucha in a week) at Pecha Kucha Vancouver Ed. 33. This is the share of how it happens, laid out to be seen. You are welcome. I am using #PKyvr33 as a collation / curation tool. I get complexity and emergence. Really smart people can explain complexity and emergence. Me? I just get it. I work that way. I dip a toe; I iterate. I try things out. I fail (and slough it off like a snake’s skin.) This blog is my mechanism to deal … Continue reading #PKyvr33 Day 2: Initial Notes #WOLyo!

#PKyvr33 Day 1: Working Out Loud On A Live Project – Let’s Do This Thing #WOLyo!

June 5, 2014June 5, 2014 ThisMuchWeKnow

A confluence of conversations and events leads me to this point. It’s time to put some skin in the game and work out loud (in the internet open) on a project. I worked out loud ‘under the stairs’ for a week at work to challenge myself about what sharing and #unSquirrel really means. I wanted to get away from technology, and into the real-time space of the person to person economy. I spoke about the initiative with various online contacts and one – @AustenHunter – suggested a #WOLweek. Sure! I attended #FUELvan conference and the organizer – Susan Cox, who … Continue reading #PKyvr33 Day 1: Working Out Loud On A Live Project – Let’s Do This Thing #WOLyo!

#unSquirrel Manifesto 6: Share Is The New Save

May 13, 2014May 12, 2014 ThisMuchWeKnow

This is the simplest comparison I have crafted so far to explain the old to new paradigms that are happening in our organizations and communities. #unSquirrel is ALL about share. We do not broadcast for our own ego. We do it to connect, support, challenge – ourselves and others. We give away our knowledge – in the knowledge that by doing so we will help others and ourselves. The old model was to save our knowledge, to squirrel it away and somehow “monetize / influencize” it at the opportune moment. But when was that moment, and with whom? Let the network … Continue reading #unSquirrel Manifesto 6: Share Is The New Save

#unSquirrel Manifesto 4: Work Out Loud #WOLyo!

May 9, 2014May 4, 2014 ThisMuchWeKnow

What do we share when we #unSquirrel? Well, at work, our work will do for a start. Working out loud, in the open, is about the gift of knowledge, of assisting others (often unknown) in leveraging your skills and experience and attitude. Where does one begin? Somewhere. Share a project update (as widely as possible). Engage in a conversation about a topic on which you know things, or want to know about. Suggest an idea when no-one ask for it(!) Invite others into a project to help you. Do something. Do the opposite of what so many of us do, … Continue reading #unSquirrel Manifesto 4: Work Out Loud #WOLyo!

Redundancy And Repetition Are Good For You: Revisited

April 25, 2014April 21, 2014 ThisMuchWeKnow

Reading a recent Harold Jarche post – Ten Years, Ten Thoughts – thought 7 reminded me of a few posts I wrote last year that are worth revisiting, not least because redundancy and repetition are good for you! Jarche reminds us that: An informal professional learning network, with its redundant connections, repetition of information and indirect communications, is a much more resilient system than any designed professional development program can be. I made a few tangential points in this direction. In How we learn, channeling an older version of the Jarche post: [Repetition and redundancy] sounds luxurious, but it is not. Digital, networked … Continue reading Redundancy And Repetition Are Good For You: Revisited

10 Revelations From 260+ Blogs In One Year

April 7, 2014April 1, 2014 ThisMuchWeKnow

I recently wrote: I have to go far to go at all. I need to commit fully to avoid making excuses, for being lazy. So, when I eventually began the TMWK blog I made a promise to write a post every day. I even took a week off work to get into the flow and produce. Remarkably, a year on I have posted more than 260 posts. Here is what I have learned along the way… Do or do not. There is no try, said Yoda, and who am I to argue. No-one, that’s who. So I won’t. ‘Nuff with … Continue reading 10 Revelations From 260+ Blogs In One Year

#WOLyo! Close Out: Storify Reflections On Working Out Loud

April 4, 2014April 3, 2014 ThisMuchWeKnow

Well, I put together a Storify of the #WOLyo! experiment from last week. Storify curates the social conversation around the topic – this is about me working out loud for a whole week under the stairs at work. Unfortunately, I cannot embed the Storify here on WordPress, so click through to the slightly weird but quite interesting little experiment…it looks a little bit like this. Enjoy. ←This Much We Know.→ Continue reading #WOLyo! Close Out: Storify Reflections On Working Out Loud
