Somewhere in the hustle and bustle of this month I missed a significant milestone. A tenth anniversary worthy of a gift of aluminium (this would be nice but this will do) as tradition goes.
It was sometime in October 1993 at our Ocotillo Technology Showcase (”Expose Yourself to Technology”). Demonstrations likely included laser discs, HyperCard, Toolbook, [...]

Darn! I was that close to being able to complete use Safari for my Mac browsing (love the tabs, the rendering, the bookmark menus on the toolbar..) but alas, another hitch appears.
This morning trying to post my latest entry, I kept getting timeout errors on MovableType Rebuild. I tried copying/pasting to a new entry. [...]

Turns out to be my last session attended at the League for Innovation CIT conference was from the Wisc Online - the Wisconsin Online Resource Center (note: link fails for Safari web browsers despite current flash plug-in).

One of the best diversions in Milwaukee from the League for Innovation conference we found was a dinner at the Safe House. Following the address to a door in an alley marked “International Exports”, we had to use all of our sites to get ourselves inside.

This was a hands on session that allowed us as participants to create use the tools available in this software.

She researches and presents data, references, processes, and important ideas. And she uses PowerPoint with a bit more power and point than most.
Someone give video copies of her keynote [...]

Wow, now this was probably the best presentation at this conference…. wait a minute…. Can I blog my own presentation at the League for Innovation Conference? (well not while I am doing it). This morning we gave our show on Building an Innovation Collection (with a bit of Competition and Bribery).
We of course got the [...]

Monday morning here at the League for Innovation conference and I was asked by my Macromedia friends to make some remarks at their breakfast session- a packed room of about 50 or so.
And then I was following an awesome series of examples and ideas from Bill and Eric two faculty from Sinclair College that [...]

Blogging at the League for Innovation conference got a wee more difficult as the Wi-Fi went AWOL, 404. The word is even the wired network here in the Midways Airport Convention center due to a blaster type worm banging out of a machine in the exhibit area. Last I saw, the techies were yanking machines [...]
