Video from Fifth Estate about Insite, Vancouver's Safe Injection site. Includes footage from inside. So, if you ever wondered what it looked like in there, here's your chance to see it.
And yes, I fully support InSite!

Anecdote: What do we mean by tacit knowledge?
K, this guy is becoming a fave. Very clear explanation of Tacit Knowledge. Again with the pictures.. I sense a trend.. or is it a theme?
Anecdote: A simple explanation of the Cynefin Framework
Saw this post referenced on George Siemen's blog.
The post (from www.anecdote.com) is "A simple explanation of the Cynefin Framework" in video form. Finally!
My take on the Cynefin Framework.. it's kinda like what Quantum Physics is to regular math, and this video is akin to Schrodenger's Cat. I get now 'cos someone drew me a picture lol

Decentralized Community - A New Approach to Social Problem Solving
Garrick Lachance provides a manifesto to end homelessness on this site. In the manifesto he cites both the "Wisdom of Crowds" approach and Gabor Mate's take on the nature and impact of addiction.
It's an interesting idea, something I have thought of in various forms for quite some time. Years ago I had knew a couple who "dated" every Saturday. Without fail they would get a sitter for their kids and drive from Chilliwack into Vancouver to spend the day with each other. Also, without fail, they would have lunch and invite a "street person" to join them. This was their ritual and their way of giving back.
I always thought it was a cool idea and Mr. Lachance seems to think so too. His version of this however includes gathering data while dining and then entering that data on the website.
The website also has a forum which includes more information about the originator of site and concept. The site is new so not a lot of activity as yet, but it has potential, I think.

Mind Map: Best Online Collaboration Tools 2009 - Robin Good's Collaborative Map - MindMeister
Robin Good's newest list of the best of the best web based collaboration tools. He's used MindMeister to create it thus lending an extra endorsement.
MindMeister looks to be cheap and easy so I'm going to try it out as a tool to store and share a who's who list for my community. Sadly, despite a relatively small population (80,000) we here in the Wack still stumble around trying to find each other when we need to refer a client to services.
