Once they were mighty vessels of communication, plowing the Internet waters of the 1980s, 1990s. Yes, the big ships labeled “Listservs” were the place for social networking then, information exchange. I’ve remarked before about listservs being on the Quagga Trail and I keep my subscriptions to the barest minimum.
Today, after posting replying to something on [...]

I feel like I have almost nothing of an immune system, some of this I acknowledge to being diabetic, and maybe the rest to some strong voodoo. I think someone could sneeze in New Jersey and I would end up with a cold in Arizona. Anyhow, the viruses got shared at our home over Thanksgiving, [...]

I am still liking the Glu. It seems SuprGlu is gaining some traction (judging from seeing other Glu-ers out there, Jay Cross, Tim Lauer, Scottish Educators, I am sure there are many more) and some new features (judging from poking around the site).
My CogDogBlog RipMixGlu Feed File now has a few more RSS things tossed [...]

I cannot believe how lucky I am to get so many valuable offers for everything un-imaginable– people I do not even know are nice enough to personally email me with great things to improve my life:
You’ve been nominated,
Thanks to a private nomination, you are now eligable to obtain an official University Degree.
Obtain a prosperous [...]

Trying to make a doctor appointment, I am on hold, and what music comes piping in? It is Led Zeppelin doing Whole Lotta Love, not some muzaked version (I had an elevator experience with a Muzakized Stairway to Heaven).
Yup, Dr G’s office phone is rockin’:
You need coolin’, baby, I’m not foolin’,
I’m gonna send you [...]

I’m under my own gun for getting all of our articles ready for the December 5, 2005 planned release of our MCLI iForum– as alluded to earlier, this is going to be a 100% online publication replacing the print/web publication we’d been doing since 2001 (and an earlier version back to 1993).
To do this, I’ve [...]

We arrived Saturday at our cabin in Strawberry, AZ, for a 3 day weekend, to relax, and sample the freezing night time temperatures (if you have Sahara like images of Arizona, think again, we pegged in the low 20s F last night).
Anyhow, on picking up the local paper, I noticed that last night the Pine [...]

Here are some web site gripes I’ve been storing up. These are not meant as criticisms of the work and content people are posting, but things that may affect the usefulness, usability, or even return visits to your sites.
First up, you as the person who created a web site for yourself, for your organization, are [...]

For well over a year, we have had a fantastic electronic portfolio software sitting idly for faculty, staff, and students here at Maricopa to put to use.
This is the same MyEport developed at Chandler-Gilbert Community College by the brilliant Audree Thurman. It has uncommons features of blogs inside an eport, RSS all over the [...]

How do I love the Spam Karma 2 WordPress Plug-in, let me count the ways. How about 695? Which is the net catch so far. It hardly ever misses, and catches most with my even having to lift a finger or click a mouse. If you are running a WordPress blog and not using SK2, [...]
