NMC Symposium on Creativity in Second Life, Aug 12-18, 2007

I know folks are rather polarized in terms of being wildly excited about Second Life or being totally dismissive of it. Rather than just pontificating or bikcering about it, I’m more excited to be [...]

Ah, my poor RSS Reader, not nearly given the devoted attention once reserved for it. Maybe a year, maybe two ago, I’d focus on at least scanning all my sources and marking them read by end of the day, even if it was in one fell keyboard stroke.
That was BT (Before Twitter), BSL (Before Second [...]

Thanks, Intellagirl, thanks…
I’ve been tagged for an “8 Random Things About Me” meme.The rules are:
1) Post these rules before you give your facts
2) List 8 random facts about yourself
3) At the end of your post, choose (tag) 8 people and list their names, linking to them
4) Leave a comment on their blog, letting them [...]

Will the web soon implode from some unexpected infinitely recursive facebooking?
Here is my new facebook app
DogPeeBook - D-friend is for pretty littles kitties. This Big Dog App will drop a hideous, smelly yellow stain on the profile page every person who takes you off their Facebook [...]

As a long time baseball fan (Orioles in the 1970s glory years right on through to young Cal in the early 80s…) I’m as much as anyone thinking the Cubs are due their title.

But Will, in all your excitement of the standings, get real with how the central division stacks up even in the [...]

No, I will not follow this crud on twitter:

That is a quick delete.
In a few days I predict invites bearing glorious news like:
Texas Holdem Galore (txpokerscum) is now following your updates on Twitter..
ViagraPropeciaCialis (thebluepill) is now following your updates on Twitter…
NastyAnimalSex (dontclickhere) is now following your updates on Twitter…

Hughs Law to be proved any day [...]

Just what I needed in the middle of a work day- another interesting web tool. But there is this itch when I find these, and the scratch says, “Hmmm. Must blog this…. must …. blog…. this….”
So how do you know if something is “bigger than a breadbox”? You can guess or measure. Sizeasy is billed [...]
