Tiger Technologies is a web hosting company based in Berkeley, California. I’ve used them for all my own web sites and the vast majority of my client web sites (dozens) for over three years now. New clients often ask me “Why TigerTech in California when you/we are here in the Upper Midwest?” They’ve been super reliable, with nary [...] Over the weekend, a team of cyclists from the Royal Borough of Kingston in the UK began cycling from the southern tip of the UK to the northern tip (1000+ miles in 15 Stages), in aid of Asian earthquake relief. The event is called E2E4E – End to End for Earthquake. From my UK travels [...] I blogged back in April about my March meeting in London with Mike Alderson, former UK police officer who now has his own consulting firm, Open Eye Communications. (Photo above is actually from the first time we met in London in2005.) We’re now teaming up to offer leadership blogging coaching and seminars to the [...] Carole Brown is Chair of the Chicago Transit Authority and maintains a blog called Ask Carole. The blog’s purpose: “I created this blog to answer some of the questions people have been asking about the CTA’s funding situation. We on the board have asked many of these same questions, and we want to help get the [...] Karen Christensen is CEO of Berkshire Publishing Group, a small (dozen employees) publisher in Massachusetts. I’ve been looking for women CEO bloggers and her Berkshire Blog: a global point of reference weblog is the first I’ve come across. She’s been blogging since late 2004. In January, 2006, she used this post to explain her reason for [...] Will Weider is CIO of Ministry Health Care and Affinity Health System in Wisconsin. He calls his blog The Candid CIO and introduces it with this phrase: “This is the place where I share what I have learned through my mistakes and other crazy things in the life of a healthcare CIO.” I like his conversational [...] David Miliband is the UK’s Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. He started an internal weblog in late 2005 when he was Minister of Communities and Local Government and took it public earlier this year. His “About this blog” statement: This blog is my attempt to help bridge the gap – the growing and [...] One of my prospective clients has asked for links to leaders who are bloggers, preferably those who are not my clients. So this week I’ll poke around the net a bit and blog about some who I find interesting… maybe with a short blurb about what I liked and what I thought could be improved. If you [...] I first learned about Dan Pink’s book A Whole New Mind: Moving from the Information Age to the Conceptual Age when I met with Steve Borsch a month ago here in Northfield. Steve wrote about the book back in March in his Connecting the Dots blog in a post titled Left Brain or Right Brain? [...] I snapped these photos this afternoon of soccer fanatic Scott Neal (AKA Eden Prairie’s blogging City Manager) . He and family and friends were tensely glued to the living room TV at his house during today’s World Cup match between USA and Italy, which ended in a 1-1 tie. Click the photos to [...] WCCO-TV (Twin Cities) crime reporter Caroline Lowe has a Crime Scene Blog. Last month, she had an entry titled Police Chiefs Blogging in which she informed her readers about Los Angeles Police Chief William Bratton’s new weblog… and mentioned a couple of my clients. She wrote: Bratton is one of the most respected police chiefs in the [...] I have a couple of leaders now who are ready to make selective use of the WordPress comment feature. So I’m experimenting with it here to find the best way to make it easy for the site visitors, yet prevent spammers from abusing it. Upon the recommendation of this recent message thread in the WordPress forums, I’ve [...] One of my longtime weblog clients is the manager/CEO of a city. He recently received his annual performance review, which included a 360-degree feedback component — comments from his council, his department heads, and miscellaneous city staff. He generously agreed to share these comments with me, since many of them referenced his blog. I’ve [...] I worked at the magazine Utne Reader (now just called “Utne”) for most of the 90s. Last week, the magazine announced that it had been purchased Ogden Publications in Kansas. Many former employees gathered at the Kitty Kat Club in Dinkytown on Thursday night. See the dozen photos in this Flickr album set. Flickr automatically creates several [...] The May 22 issue of BusinessWeek ran this article: Into The Wild Blog Yonder: The once-secretive Boeing opens itself up — to employees, customers, and the public. And here’s a follow-up on the piece by SixApart, the makers of the Movable Type weblog “Go Out And Get Better” – Behind the Scenes of Boeing’s Blogs
