Today’s Office posted 20 Mar ‘07, 4.36pm MDT PST on flickr
Right in the middle of IM-ing, checking a streaming audio connection in Second Life, my internet connection blinked out. Qwest said, "There are outages on your area" and with an estimated fix time of "a few hours", I trucked down to the Scottsdale Public [...]

We’re less than 2 days out from the NMC Spring 2007 Online Conference on the Convergence of Web Culture and Video, and an awesome array of sessions ins lining up quite nicely. Registration is still open and it gives you at least 60 days post conference access to all materials and archived Elluminate sessions. Yes, [...]

The Twitter update WP plugin has not worked for months so was pleased to see that Alex King, veteran pluing author, has released Twitter Tools, that updates Twiiter when you post a new entry, but can also pull in your tweets to a Wp blog as a sidebar, and optionally publish a pile of your [...]

Leigh is…. but I am not… blocked in China.

I’m in Denver 2.5 days for an NMC Directors and Board meeting, with a rather packed schedule leaving little moments for blogging. Well, I have about 10 waiting from my hotel room to do a 1o minute Second Life / NMC overview for a group of maybe 60 participants at the university of MIchigan. You [...]

So the blog post title is aimed for the cheap reaction (”no, don’t go there”).
