A colleague just mentioned this to me. I’d never heard of it before but I already like it. 
DIKW is the proposed structuring of data, information, knowledge and wisdom in an information hierarchy where each layer adds certain attributes over and above the previous one. Data is the most basic level; Information adds context; Knowledge adds how to use it; and Wisdom adds when to use it.( As such, DIKW is a model that can be useful to understanding analysis and the importance and limits of conceptual works. The term DIKW is applied in the fields of information science and knowledge management.
This game looks awesome, I shall go search for somewhere to pre-order.

As noted at Ferris Research, Cisco to Buy Exchange-Alternative Vendor PostPath.
Sounds like Cisco wants to offer SaaS collaboration, based on PostPath and WebEx. Whoever said the email world has become dull and uninteresting?

This is something I can definitely identify with…
I am going to change the world.
Really… I am. I can be anything I want to be. A CEO, an Entertainer, an Olympic Gold Medalist; whatever I work towards I can acheive.
I was 5 years old when I first said that, and society reaffirmed me, you told me “yes, you can be whatever you want to be, you’re special.” But now, because I’m in my early twenties, if I say those words, I’m cocky and arrogant.

I shall try them in the next couple days.
• Autoruns 9.3 - This Autoruns update adds support for several additional shell extension points, including copy hook, property sheet, and drag and drop handlers, fixes a bug in the Vista gadget parsing code and better handles malformed paths.
• AccessChk 4.2 - AccessChk v4.2 reports non-canonical security descriptors (ones that have access control entries in an unsupported order) and adds a new switch, -a, that dumps account rights and privileges.
It occurs to me that my children are very accident prone. About 9pm last night, as the girls were heading downstairs to bed, Taylor tripped on the stairs and fell to the landing. Unfortunately she used to right hand to break her fall and fell on her wrist at an angle. It doesn’t appear to be broken but she is in quite a bit of pain (we almost took her to the ER last night) so Holly is taking her to the doctor today for x-rays and such.
On a lighter note, I actually got to use the sentence “No, this is not the same daughter that pulled the refrigerator over on herself” in an e-mail to my team last night. Parenting gets more interesting every day.
UPDATE: It appears to be a compound wrist fracture. We’ll know for sure after the radiologists get back to our primary care physician with their opinion.
UPDATE 2: We have received confirmation that it is a fractured radius in her wrist. Luckily they said she should heal well. Thanks for all the well wishes!
This seems to be a hot topic lately. Since I’ve had to send this link off to colleagues twice in the last 90 minutes, download the Data Protection Manager 2007 Storage Calculator here: [ LINK ]
Interesting post over at Michael’s meanderings on Outlook & Exchange 2007 playing nicely together. This is good news for some people.
Prior to Exchange Server 2007, installing Outlook on an Exchange Server would replace certain DLLs that Exchange required with stub libraries that Outlook used instead. This could break Exchange severely.
Those problem DLLs are gone in Exchange Server 2007. This gives us clear sailing for Outlook and Exchange on the same computer - both servers and workstations.
