Other items of interest (to me)
Collaboration
The continued development in improved collaboration tools has the potential to make a big difference to the way we work, e.g. at some point it should be possible for knowledge workers to work as effectively from home as in the office. This page discusses some of the issues and provides an example "Collaboration Station" illustrating an implementation of techniques that might enhance productivity. At the heart of the design is an attempt to make the collaborative desktop 'person-centric' rather than 'tool-centric'.
Systems design
I've created a draft page with some non-technical thoughts on issues of systems design.
Cloud computing
As of Nov 2010, many vendors are proposing 'cloud' computing solutions but there is a wide spectrum of techniques and technologies currently being touted, many of which are existing products and services re-branded to capitalize on the the current enthusiasm for the "cloud" label. I have created a basic web page illustrating the current cloud 'spectrum' complimenting a definition created by guys at NIST in the USA converted from Word to a web page by me.
