flickr foto Obligatory WIki Photoavailable on my flickr Having landed at the Honolulu airport, I paid the computer technogeek’s homage to Ward Cunningham by taking the obligatory photo of the "Wiki Wiki" bus. Wow, is Hawaii heavenly on what? And I get the honor of shuttling between airport terminals on the legendary Wiki Wiki busses, […]
Call me fickle, but despite some recent barking about the new social bookmark site Jots, I am romping back to del.icio.us for my primary bookmarking. Ttecnically, I am using my multi-bookmark tool to post to del.icio.us, Furl, and our Bag of URLs site… Furl since I have a big pile there not elsewhere, the “Bag” since I use it to send links to a list within our system.
But I am back to del.icio.us for its ease of tagging via the bookmark tool- not only does it nicely auto complete tags when typed in, it also makes using my previous tags a one clikc suggestio, and it offers a decent set of suggested tags perhaps used by others.
So for example, I just dumped in the Google Sightseeing site, a fun place that catalogs interesting things that have been found in the Satellite views of Google Maps…

Darth Vader is baring his soul in blog format Darth Vader is an immaculately conceived knight-bastard imbued with magical powers who rules the known galaxy at the right hand of the merciless and brilliant Emperor Palpatine I. Though he maintains palaces on both Coruscant and Vjun, Vader spends most of his time travelling aboard Executor, […]
The blog may be blinking in and out for a week. I’m currently visiting family in San Diego through Monday (look for some pix soon of Sani, my step-son’s cute ‘little’ Great Dane puppy) and a hope flight back to Phoenix to catch a Tuesday morning flight to Hawaii for the 2005 NMC Summer Conference. […]
Will deftly spotted and posted about a site that showed in real-time the update action over at WikiPedia: You can see the line for each edit in Wikipedia as it’s made. In the few moments it’s taken to create this post, over 80 edits have been made about everything from the Pakistani Coast Guard to […]
For an upcoming presentation, I was doing some random clicking at Blogger to find some tacky or “bad” blog examples (they are out there, stuff you’s not want to be on screen when the boss wanders in). It’s sad how many URLs there are wasted by lik spammers who create Blogger.com sites just to spam […]
If anyone is more into sarcasm than myself, they are hanging out at the Uncyclopedia “the content-free encyclopedia that anyone can edit”. A total loving mimicry of the WikiPedia, at the Uncyclopedia at least there need be no debates about authoritative resources since it proudly claims to be full of lies. Just look at the […]
In Executing Learning Objects, Resurrecting Sharing and Reuse, Scott Leslie takes some well thought shots at the sacred cow term of “learning objects” (and his animation of the “execution” could use more blood, guts, and squeals). As part of a workshop for the BC Educational Technology Users Group, Scott has nicely posted his materials in […]
I was experimenting with the Jots.com bookmark and publish to weblog API, but as duly noted in comments by Will and James, it was turning my blog reading into more of a linkatorium: I’d rather get it by subbing your Jots feed rather than your blog feed. True, so I am shutting of the publishing […]
