Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
Over on the Learning Circuits Blog, David Lee just posted Blogging by The Numbers about attempts to draw some meaningful data out of this Blogger hosted blog (since Blogger provides no data, he is using the add-ons from SiteMeter and Bravenet. He then asks: * Are there metrics you see as key when looking at […]
Just as pleasant as the Sonoran desert flowers that unexpectedly pop up in the Spring, comes a new blog from our Paradise Valley Community College– the Student Life Blog is not about personal “diaries”, but provides regularly updated program information from the college’s Student Life Center, including upcoming events at the PVCC Coffeehouse, photos, leadership […]
Waiting for the overdue return of my dead iBook and dealing with un-acceptable ways to get an update is truly testing my n ager management. It has been 18 days since it was left in their care, which is what 5-7 business days translates as. In summary of what AppleCare does not provide is: (1) […]
Sort of retro, getting back to RSS used for feeds of news, but a nice mix and re-play is being offered at DailyRSS which is serving up news feeds from multiple sources and in categories: In addition to just the news, there are weather images and feeds plus a photo news feed; it uses some […]
flickr foto You Have Been Warned!available on my flickr I was too scard to take a photo of this fearsome fish. This hand made sign from a local aquarium (Acuario Cet-Mar) in Puerta Peñasco, Mexico, might be part of a new WordPress theme that may be applied here 😉 My friends told me stories of […]
I read a feed, clicked a link, clicked another, and another, and lost my path, but here I am at FeedMap:
FeedMap = Blogs + Maps
Using FeedMap you can geo-code your blog, browse already geo-coded blogs and search for blogs. Once geo-coded, you can get your own BlogMap location using a simple url that allows you to network with your local bloggers and much more!
In theory, it generates a dynamic map with other geo-located bloggers nearby, plus creates an OPML file, brings you coffee, etc.
I monkeyed around enough to get my own…
For some reason this morning, NetNewsWire Lite (my desktop OS X RSS reader) was slow in updating the feeds, so I started poking around the interface. In the bottom left I noticed a small double arrow control labeled “default”, and I thought… “what does this do?”: Why it’s a menu! What does it do?: It’s […]
Let me begin this story by saying, the despite a recent experience, I love my Apple computers, past, present, and hopefully future. My work flows in Apple colors, where I do all my development, and use other systems to deal with how the other pitiful 95% of the web sees my content. I know less […]
Getting back to documenting what’s been sitting on my project plate, is a heaping pile of … well, not the cholesteral special in this Creative Commons flickr photo, but a heaping pile of mySQL, PHP, and some seatr of the pants programming… and the birth of a new thing we call the “Ocotillo Cortex”.
We have to start this back to May 2005 for our year end edtech fest, the Ocotillo Retreat. Our theme was related to “Lost in Technology” and sported a GPS metaphor sprinkled everywhere. This had even more database behind the web than previous events, and it was cooking well. We created an online demo session presenter form, so all those details went to a database that fueled the session list of 46 sessions This too was cross hooked to that all sessions were cross entered in the Maricopa Learning eXchange, so say Stan’s session on Earth Science Power Points had a corresponding MLX slip, where he could hang more links and power point files.
flickr foto june-bbq 018available on my flickr It’s already past the time when our building empties out and I’m still pounding the keys here. With the start-up of the fall semester, many programs/projects needing support, a poaching and leak of our office staff, all is leading to things just piling up on the plate. I […]
