Two days ago, a colleague at one of our colleges asked me what wiki software our district provides.
I responded, “none” (In Maricopa, such services are hosted at each college), but I took the opportunity to suggest that he try one of the free, externally hosted ones to experiment and flesh out some content or ideas. [...]

I get email requests all the time for link exchanges generated by the visibility of the MCLI web site in Google (a virtue of having thousands of old web pages?). Today’s takes the cake, the icing, and the last bottle of cold beer:
Greetings!
While surfing the web, I came across your excellent resource of real estate [...]

Among the cleanup I am doing here is continual emptying of the comment spam on a site I created, blogged about, but will not link directly, but it is more or less a publication, perhaps even, a “forum” that “i” created at MCLI. But I am not writing about the content. Nooooooooo, when would I [...]

Where did all the conversations go about “EduGlu” apps? Maybe people are doing it rather than writing about it…
Well, here is a nice example from the Maricopa trenches– Shelley Rodrigo teachers a Cinema Class at Mesa Community College and has pretty much set up her class across a trio of Web X.0 tools. The course [...]

I could have done something in those four, make it, five, make it several college years, when wonderful offers like today’s email spam brings:
Obtaining a DIPLOMA has never been so easy! Call today and find out how you could get your DIPLOMA from a highly credible college, Full Transcripts, A Letter of Recommendations, and even [...]

In the past I have used this space to vent about experiences with bad customer service (phone trees, bad online help systems, etc), so it is only fair to report a positive experience.
This morning I called Qwest to set up phone lines and internet service for my home office to be ready when I start [...]

Another Project, Another Dayavailable on my flickr

This stack of 70+ CDs now hides in my home office closet. It represents my archive of personal photos going back to maybe 2000.
Since iPhoto (older version) gets fussy with more than 500 photos, and is really groaning the drive on my old 700MhZ iBook [...]

I had fun this afternoon helping in a wiki workshop at South Mountain Community College. “Dr Coop” is Alisa Cooper, a gem of an English teacher who pretty much tries and finds almost every new technology- in a thoughtful and effective manner. She got turned onto PBWiki last year and has been using it extensively [...]

Nutrition experts tell us breakfast is the most important meal of the day. As dedicated cereal-aholic, after munching my bowl, there is just no room for the heaping piles of fatty, fetid, rotten spam that I empty out of my SpamKarma 2 traps on a daily basis (bless you 1,000,00 times, Dr. Dave).
The portions have [...]

Wow, This Web Thing Might be BIGavailable on my flickr

Our site got featured in one of the early books about the web, The World Wide Web Unleashed by John December (1994).

As I winnow down the last 2 weeks on the job at Maricopa, I am unearthing a lot of nostalgic artifacts in [...]
