Glasshouse Residency

A situation in which a person finds themselves, either by incompetence or inaction, with no moral or legal authority to impose deadlines on others.

I am expecting feedback via email and at the upcoming Board meeting, but given my glasshouse residency, I’m in no position to put timescales on anyone for feedback.

Glasp

(noun)
A social web highlighter that one can use to highlight and organize quotes and thoughts from the web without having to switch back and forth between screens, and access other like-minded people’s learning at the same time.

(verb)
1. To use Glasp to curate information about (someone or something) on the World Wide Web and share it with other people.

2. To leave one's learnings and experiences behind as a digital legacy.

Before Glasp, I would have two windows open in my browser. One with an article, the other with Roam taking notes, it was cumbersome but it worked. Now with Glasp, I just highlight & take notes in the browser window using the Glasp extension.
