  • Got My ServerMojo Working ( Friday, May 16th, 2008)
    This week I tried the free ServerMojo service which provides reports of uptime for your web servers (or databases) or pings you when they are down. The cool thing is you can get alerts the old fashioned grandma way (email) or as direct messages via twitter (which can then be pushed your phone). So ServerMojo periodically [...] more »»

  • Play The Subversive Game: Make Starbucks Say “Large” ( Thursday, May 8th, 2008)
    I really do not mind Starbucks as an establishment. They are comfy places and serve my favorite drinks, yes at inflated prices, but I succumb. My own, silly pet peeve is that stupid language thing when you order a drink. I want a “big” drink, so I describe it as “large”, and they say, “Venti”. That [...] more »»

  • Help! Jailbreak me from the Brig of the Stinky Alltel Pirates ( Thursday, April 24th, 2008)
    I am far from alone being in individual ramrodded by a company that takes your money for a service it does not provide. But these dinosaurs are in denial of the asteroids raining down on them, as the net empowers us to put their evil deeds into the light. This is my little experiment to [...] more »»

  • Too Busy For a Second Life… ( Wednesday, April 16th, 2008)
    My first presentation today at the eLearning Guild conference was “I’m Busy Enough.. What do I Need a Second Life For?” a tact I took as I expected SL was rather outside the realm of focus for this conference. Well, that was not fully correct, as there was a fair amount of awareness here of [...] more »»

  • The Guild Thang ( Wednesday, April 16th, 2008)
    I’ve been self chained inside the Hilton in Orlando for 3 mights now. Tomorrow I make my break for the border, over the fence, and will run for the airport. This is mostly my own doing. I am here for the eLearning Guild 2008 Annual Gathering. I have learned that “eLearning” is an umbrella term for [...] more »»

  • Street View Movies ( Saturday, March 29th, 2008)
    I cannot even remember what I was doing poking around San Francisco with Google Maps, but I was looking around The City with the Street View option turned on it was along a stretch of a street I notice that as I move around, I was following the same car. This makes sense as the [...] more »»

  • Squirrel + Dog ( Thursday, March 27th, 2008)
    + = I have documented the hungry actions of the squirrels who raid my bird feeders and again. Fresa, the cutest beagle in the world just gets wild when she spots the squirrel, and gets riles up in chase/hunt mode. As I just got my Canon Powershot back from repair, I was equipped [...] more »»

  • Fishing / Fish Nuggets ( Wednesday, March 26th, 2008)
    A majority of my blog posts are spontaneous spurts, yet sometimes, an idea takes root somewhere in the gray matter, and just sits there quietly demanding to be let out. This one has been rattling around, and tonight demands to see that publish button clicked. So there is a strand here, some storytelling, and a [...] more »»

  • For Such Smart Tools, GoogleApps Have Pretty Stupid Menus ( Sunday, March 23rd, 2008)
    I am a die hard Google junkie. For more than 2 years, iGoogle has been home on every computer I use, while others clamor about their RSS tools, I just dig and dig Google reader, Gmail is my hub for all my non-twitter communication and I put all my time into Google calendar. Yet, I [...] more »»

  • Oak Reuse ( Saturday, March 22nd, 2008)
    Caveat Emptor- this blog post has nothing to do with technology, learning, spam, WordPress, twitter, or the other junk that makes up the focus here. Its just about what I did with a tree. I could make a stretch and leap to something about learning objects, re-usable content… but that can be an exercise left [...] more »»
