Gerry caught me on iChat tonight and let me know he was having trouble reaching Flickr– he’s right! What’s happening?
And it looks like they are based in Vancouver… Did Mount St. Helens blow a big cork and blast it north? I hope not!

My editor was pressuring me. I had stalled on my next technology article for the Fall 2004 issue of our publication, the mcli Forum. I had waited too long to do interviews with some faculty (there are some coo, things some folks are doing with teaching GPS… maybe in the Spring…)

Yes, I have been a bit obsessed lately with the roaches who have been spamming our Maricopa Learning eXchange. This is not all I have been doing this week, but it grinds away.

I seem to keep forgetting to take a look at the nifty Blogdigger service- a site that allows you to drop in a pile of RSS feeds, and have it return to you a single RSS that represents a combination of all the content. And there is more every time I go back.

I’d say it is nothing new these days to highlight or discover a new use of weblogs… No wait a minute, it still is interesting to see what pops up on the blog-o-verse.
