With a month’s training lost to illness and travel, I am finally back into the groove prepping to run the January 13 PF Chang’s Marathon (see how much I love running). This means I need heavy distractions, like music, as well as the occasional podcast. I am not subscribed to anything in particular, and mostly [...]

I’ve not thought much lately about the phenomena of the twitterverse, in fact, using twitter has become part of my regular routine antics that it really becomes less of an object of attention itself- its the flow that means something to me.
This came to me during some reflection at the NMC Regional Conference at Tulane [...]

If you see a van driving around your neighborhood with a roof mounted tripod hoisting a big black ball, smile as it may be folks from Google snapping photos to appear as part of the expanding Street View capability of Google maps.
According to Boing Boing, that is how the 360 street images are being gathered, [...]

Just to prove I am really not as technical savvy or know it all about the web as some of you fools think; today I absently blundered into a nifty piece of Google tech that is, oh, about two years old. A bunch of people will comment, “Oh heck yes, I knew about that like [...]

i’ve waxed and waned over the years on activity of blogging from conference session, but have found it refreshing to do 3 so far from the NMC Regional Conference at Tulane.

Ego-googling is expired- subscribing to [...]

Ahem.
Is this thing on?
Yes, it is me. I am back from my 18 day Around Australia Tour, all of which has been blogged over at http://cogdogroo.wordpress.com and as such, is not reblogged here. But in some numbers, the trip included:

Visits/presentations to 8 cities in 2 weeks - all [...]

I am writing to you from a hill top view of Marion Bay in Tasmania Australia (no dingo jokes shall be made)… this is a few days into my 3 week Circuit Tour of Australia and my blogging for this time will be completely through http://cogdogroo.wordpress.com — for the duration, I am using my own [...]

Even after all these years, and all the spam and phlaff that arrives in my inbox, when i am reading mail form colleagues, I do take note of what is hanging in their sig (signature).
In some sense, you might argue it is a very low tech ‘avatar’, it is some array of text we [...]

I dont think much about the battery in my laptop– til it craps out on me. I’ve known that the one on my 2006 MacBookPro might be getting creaky. During the last trip to Boston, it went form about a 30% reading immediately to 0 (and went black) a few times. I knew it [...]
