the ‘bee log

Karsten Januszewski has a fantastic post on getting up to speed with Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) in five days over here.

More interesting than the subject — to me — is the structure of the article itself.

Karsten has taken a bunch of links to content authored by other people and put it into a cohesive and editorialized story. Essentially he’s encoded his work/thought stream and shared it to the benefit of his audience. It’s a kind of “putting the pieces together” voice that sits somewhere between an essay style and link log with commentary.

His post is a fine example of content aggregation that adds siginficant value (beyond just discovery); it creates a narrative context for extreme knowledge transfer out of smaller bits of information contributed by outside sources. Cool!
