Just took a quick at Furl, a new web site for organizing bookmarks centrally (tip of the blog hat to Seb). The concept is not new at all, but I have found most of these sorts (e.g. BackFlip) too tedious to maintain. It’s gotta be simple.
Bookmarks/favorites in web browsers have hardly evolved since Mosaic. [...]

On its own, blogging is nicely permeating among some of our faculty. At this Friday’s Ocotillo Online Learning Group meeting, we have 4 demos of different ways weblogs are currently in use at Maricopa.
A brief preview for those who cannot be at Phoenix College Friday…

There are a few threads to this story. I had seen an odd thing on one of our new XHTML designed web sites– this one uses an HTML <ul> list and CSS for rollover effects and graphic-looking buttons for the navigation.
In Internet Explorer 6 (and then reports came in for IE5 users) the text [...]

No centerfolds but… for those that enjoy the history of how the Net unfolded, if you could not get enough of “Where the Wizards Stayed Up Late” (a great read by the way), check out “The Faces in Front of the Monitors”– this is an alphabet listing of those wizards, many with multiple photos. [...]

Some folks are rather big on the use of games and simulations for learning. So were we.. back in 1995.
Here is another article from our Fall 2003 issue of the mcli Forum. In “The Long After Life of Simulation Software: Hidden Agenda”, we interviewed Jim Gasperini who had created in the late 1980s a role=playing [...]

I have a pent for photography. It was the last elective I took as an undergrad, and if it were earlier, I would have taken a different career path.
Blogging is great, but there are some neat niches for other flavors. Take “photo blog”. I recently stumbled along via legendary web designer Jeffrey Veen this nifty [...]

Satire is a high form of art.
(that was supposed to be satirical). Someone once told me, and I believed them, that satire comes from an ancient word that meant “to cut flesh.”
Well, that means that DENOUNCE NEWSWIRE: All the news that never happened is the king fleshcutter for faked PR news:

I was recently looking for a package to implement a discussion board for a group project, and luckily came across phpBB :: Creating Communities.
phpBB is a high powered, fully scalable, and highly customisable open-source bulletin board package. [...]

Following up on my nostalgia for ten years on the web, I also reflected on what was likely the first educational software I ever created, back in 1987.
As a Geology grad student at Arizona State University with a few programming courses as an undergrad, I was handed the opportunity to run a computer lab (14 [...]
[The Blogosphere] is like a stew. If you don't stir it up every once in a while then a layer of scum floats to the top. -- mangled quote from Edward Abbey
Here I bark and growl about instructional technology, web development, photography, and other assorted things that get under my fur (more...).
