My quibble is that it’s partial and restricted to that which is in OCLC’s silo. I looked up myself and found that after fifteen years of writing–including over 100 articles, hundreds of blog posts, and an unpublished thesis, plus articles in press, not to mention numerous mailing-list messages–I’m represented by five works.

Interesting concept, but it needs to be broadened beyond that particular pot of ownership.

I have a camera full of pictures (remember when you rationed out how many pictures you took because of the development costs and the hassle of lugging film around?), miniDV tapes of events, written notes, and a brain filled with ideas.

At my job, I spend all day communicating with people in my field, but  conferences and off-site meetings break through the static created by the “continuous partial attention” that typifies work-related discussions. The quality of learning away from the work setting reminds me of my favorite Far Side cartoon, where a student cheats on a test by pulling a second brain out of his bag. Just the chance to relax and focus, knowing that an interruption isn’t imminent, is like having a second brain.
