Links...get 'em while they're hot!

That is, sausage links. It's German-American Weekend here in my neighborhood, so two blocks west the streets are filled with milling revelers, drinking beer and eating wurst. Many of them are wearing feathered caps, embroidered vests, or other similar ethnic costumes. They all seem to want to park on my street, which is a difficult proposition most days anyway. Look out!

Stopped by the farmer's market this morning and bought nectarines, green peppers, and the first Concord grapes of the season. Also experimented with buying Piedmontese beef there, frozen into solid blocks and shrink-wrapped. This is because Eric advises that I should look at buying food as "a learning experience" instead of something to get over with as soon as possible, which is my usual mode. We'll see what we've learned.

Links I've saved lately:

High Context focuses on knowledge management issues and Web issues for Associations. He's looking, among other things, at how organizations can use blogging in a productive way:

What I'm wondering: if your organization is team based, would a multi-author blog for that team provide a more comfortable environment for inexperienced writers to post than an individual weblog? This may not be the right lesson to pull from our experience since it is so early but there could be some validity to it.

The Daily New York Fashion Blog is giving a multi-author, industry-based blog a go, although the subject matter may not be what is envisioned above.

I normally avoid most high-profile bloggers, but I do enjoy Fast Company writer Heath Row's Media Diet.

And finally, No Rock & Roll Fun blogs the music world, with a hefty dollop of sarcasm:

There are very few famous hat makers ... but we can now add Fred Durst to the list. As if his constant sporting of a stupid baseball cap wasn't bad enough, he's now started flogging the things.

Pass the sauerkraut!
