It’s been almost a month since I blogged about the Chronicle of Higher Education, the “flagship” of the ivory tower had published on their web site misinformation that it had scooped from some other blog sites on a story about the 2007 NMC Horizon Report. The Chronicle wrote on December 17 that the 2007 report [...]

Oh flickr, how I adore thee! my love runneth over…
But after a lot of blog rants, its just so nice to say some nice things about nice people.
Nice!
I always get extra excited when my RSS feed for comments on my pix lights up in that “unread” color, so I checked out a link today, and [...]

Thanks to the precedent setting and helpful nudge of D’Arcy Norman (who did this last year), in 2008, I am pledging myself to take and post to flickr every day a photo that best captures what I as doing, or at least what I photographed that day.
As D’Arcy notes, it is not easy, but [...]

Wish I had the productivity of Dave Sifry; in his announcement, in 48 hours he rolled out a nifty new twitter/blog crawl mashup called Hoosgot (aka “Who’s Got?”):
a simple way to ask who’s got what you’re looking for. Just put “hoosgot” in a blog post or a Twitter tweet and it’ll show up here in [...]

There is asome bit of ego involved, but mainly so I can reply to comments, yes that [...]

Of course I find the coolest of new stuff in my twitter stream, like from Dean Shareski just know came a link to Tweeterboard- a site that provides analytics on tweeters, their activity, what they are linking to, etc.
Tweeterboard is a way of looking at who is influential on Twitter based on their [...]

Gardner Campbell gets interviewed by Jon Udell for ITCoversations… I am all gushing like I know a celebrity. Congrats to Dr Glu!

There are very few things that compel me to use PowerPoint. I have scolded PPT, stomped on it, lifted my doggie leg and peed on it for years… the only reason in the last 12 months I have quietly stifled my contempt is that it is the vehicle where I can post presentations on Slideshare– [...]

I don’t spend much time with OS X widgets, and I prefer not to load up as the eat RAM, but I just found a very useful and free one worth the RAM. TimeScroller allows you to enter 8 different cities around the world.

Now here is what’s cool, the scroll bar allows me to slide [...]
