Title is a nod to colleagues in the audience who are film buffs. Is anyone a fan of Chance the Gardner? www.imdb.com/title/tt0078841/
My metaphor may land askew (not the first time), but as a simple person thrust into a strange new world by sheer circumstance, [...]

Hmmm. seems to be some blockages or bottlenecks in public network here at Faculty Academy- cannot post to twitter, tweets are getting munched in the network. Attempting to tweet via blog post.
Update: The local network here was not to blame. Twitter itself has been/is very flaky. That darn cat messing with the server was [...]

Live from Faculty Academy at University of Mary Washington… Barbara Ganley is tasking us about how we use web technology– responding to some of the opening panel remarks of reluctance to blogging about their project.
She asks us
What is the correlation between your own personal use of web technologies and the way you use them in [...]

I’ve landed safely for Faculty Academy 2007 here at University of Mary Washington.

Check out dotSUB “Any film in any language”. Now I am inferring the site from a short visit, and there is no “about” page; even the “help” page yields only:
We’re Working on Help
In the meantime, please send us an email at help@dostub.com.

But hey, it’s all good, it’s all beta. What I could infer from poking [...]

It’s good to see a bit more of attribution by linking, or coined here as “Linktribution” in blog posts. Yet, I find it somewhat funny, and a bit disconcerting, that people are so rapid blogging that they are just attributing it back to some other blog post that is referring to another blog post [...]

I can count on one paw the number of articles I’ve read on Slate. I am definitely thinking this rag is worth it best virtual fish wrapping, and mostly is a waste of web code and server electricity.
They are not alone, but lobbing the criticisms at Twitter like in What Are You Doing? The [...]

In this way, twitter has a kinship with flickr, in terms of having a wisecracking interface:

I bet this kittie’s name is “Bill”. Back at Maricopa, we had a computer tech in the 1990s named Bill whose method of fixing a computer was to pop open the case and whack the hard drive with a screwdriver [...]
