It’s only been a few days since a number of fabulous presentation as conversation sessions on blogs, social software, and education here in Vancouver (I am still lingering at chez Lamb). D’Arcy has already posted a superultimate summary that distills the summaries quite nicely, and I am one of many where at our UBC and [...]

Here’s an example of something we’d love to see more of via our Maricopa ePortfolio system — a faculty member or any employee using the built in blog tool to provide coverage or notes from a professional conference attended.

The coveted t-shirt from the Northern Voice 2006 conference.

It’s been one day of favorable rest since the close of the Northern Voice 2006 conference here in Vancouver… and I still struggle to capture all thoughts and impressions.
The flickr tag stream for northern voice photos was impressive and made [...]

Opening pieces of Northern Voice 2006. I would have thought the auditorium would be a wee bit more packed.
First up was Starting with Fire: Why Stories Are Essential and How to Blog Effective Tales by Julie Leung. There was something very refreshing in the presentation style (pure images, a pointed presentation lacking word bullet points. [...]

Mea culpa, my blog pace is waning. Maybe it is jet lag or just some fatigue, but it’s bothering me for not prattling on to the blog stream.
Anyhow, yesteday was a full on [...]

I use NetNewsWire on sometimes an hourly or minutely basis to check my RSS sources. There is this thing off to the right of the menu bar for “Sites Drawer” that I hit only by mistake when trying to activate the window. It’s a set up RSS feeds provided in the software, likely in case [...]

I’m in lovely Vancouver, BC. I had heard their winter was one of record setting rainfall, so coming from the Arizona desert where we’ve had the opposite problem (111 days and counting), I was enchanted by the notion of seeing the spectacle of water falling from the sky.
No deal. Stepping off the plane was a [...]

Again, on the read/Write web, there is a place for everything.
Episode II: Attack of the Cluckers is documenting the ascending politcal career opf Brother Clucker, who appears to be running for President under the “Not So Fowl” party.
