See

http://www.zappazoom.com/

for a blog that's "advocating for the idea that the "getting of
knowledge," the quest for understanding, and the formation of learning
communities and communities of practice, should be "smelly": complex,
difficult at times, deep, and meaningful. It looks like he's got some
interesting posts there.

I was about to send this just to Don Cunningham (who knows a thing or two
about olfactory caprisemiotics), but then I thought there might be others
on this list who might be interested.
