Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
I’m too tired to even properly research this, but lately (?? weeks) I’ve been unable to get flickr to properly post blog posts to several of my WordPress blogs. Flickr keeps reporting my password may need to be changed, which is bunk as I know they are correct. With a little digging, I found an […]
Shown by Apple’s Don henderson today at the closing of the 2007 NMC Summer Conference, An Empty Cubicle is a film created by students at the Art Institute of Seattle and a winner of the Insomnia Film Festival. It is well worth a watch! But hey Apple, sniff the Web 2.0 fumes and provide cut […]
Previously, I’ve noted a cool video site, dotSUB, that takes an interesting approach to ultimately add multi-lingual captions to video– allowing visitors to the site to add translations of the captions into any of the numerous other languages supported on the site.. or, as I call it, “user generated video captioning”. Today, I chatted with […]
Courtesy of an airline magazine, on the way to Indianapolis, I found some gem quality quotes from a last interview with Kurt Vonnegut. Among the quotables was one that really spoke to me, especially in response to Martha’s thoughtful post on why blog: I speak with real painters and real artists from time to time […]
It’s the day before I board the Big Old Jet Airliner to the NMC Summer Conference and I am piling on the Web 2.0 Tagging goodness, or zaniness. This recap is as much to document as to thanks those I lean on.
Last year, at the 2006 Summer conference in Cleveland, being my first one in the fold of NMC employment, I rolled out a Tag This Conference page, mixing up del.icio.us, flickr, and hopefully technorati content all tagged with nmc2006, the page doing so with some help from a local version of feed2js. Repeated this tagging for the 2006 Regional Conference in San Antonio.
So without too much extension, the Web 1.0ish page is up for next week’s conference spiffed up a bit by bringing it also up as a Tumblog, which presents the feeds from the same 3 sources a bit more stylishly.
Okay, that is good, but…
I’m only one of billions who loves Google Maps. They find things, you can overlay satellite images. But what if you could really peek in an see what is there? Now you can* with the Street View option (*in limited areas). You can place a little icon person on the map, and get a fully […]
I leave in a few days for the 2007 NMC Summer Conference in Indianapolis. This is actually a minor test of blogging into the wind to see if Technorati picks up the conference tag of nmc2007 (I still am never 100% sure if it will pick up tagged blog posts). But yay! it looks like […]
posted 16 Jan ’06, 3.02pm MST PST on flickr And now for something not related at all to blogging, twittering, or education technology at all. Way too long after Al’s Keynote jived movie, I finally got around to doing my small bit and swapping out some of our incandescent light bulbs for fluorescent ones. We’d […]
Uh-oh, my 15 minutes of fame on TV is out and might be up. As previously noted, a few weeks back, I flew in and out of San Jose to be a panelist on the Ready2Net panel on “Web 2.0 Comes to Campus” (Drat you Bryan Alexander, likely too busy yourself, you should have been […]
Iris Color Explosion posted 13 May ’07, 8.10am MDT PST on flickr At our cabni in Strawberry, AZ, the annual spring eruption of bearded irises seems even more glorious then ever. Just where would we be without you?…
