Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
I recently wrote some criticism of views that RSS feeds are “only for new stuff”, and given that I had a request today for a randomized Maricopa Learning eXchange feed, it was time to put my feeds where my mouth is/was. Before today, the feeds we generate as fixed static files (updated every hours as […]
I saw today that RSS might be starting to meme its way across our system. It takes time. This morning I got a call from a faculty member asking where she can get software to see RSS. I sent her googling in “Desktop RSS Aggregator” not recalling which of the 90 or so ones is […]
More from the weird web department… can anyone guess who’s remaindered links I am plundering?? Anyhow, as a DOG themed corner of the web and a techie, I gave some serious perusal of Pet’s Mobility: PetsMobility™ Network, Inc. (PetsMobility™) is a wireless communications company that will be providing innovative wireless communication products and services to […]
From Bore Me, here is a video clip of a bunch of guys who toss a cheerleader through a basketball hoop. There is a lot of surlpus time out there working in strange ways. What else can be said? And can someone help me understand The Two Headed Dog? (from the “I’m feeling old department”).
I’ve been deploying my day time discoveries some web design work I do outside the Maricopa gig… most recently wrapping some of the Small Technologies Loosely Joined for the Eye Dog Foundation. This is a local organization that raises and trains German Shepherds as guide dogs for the blind, providing them at no cost. This […]
After my usual too-much-over-the-top-sarcasm bark at the Professional Bloggers Association, I got a quick professional PBA trackback from their new professional PBA site: Trackback: “Chuckle…” Excerpt: My own personal snarky anti-fan strikes again: http://cogdogblog.com/alan/archives/2005/01/21/amateur.php He does this periodically, so please don’t lash out at him. We all need to be able to laugh at ourselves, […]
Today was one of those technical gambles that actually, sort of worked! This morning, the EDUCUASE/NLII Meeting in New Orleans had a general session where the New Media Consortium provided a 5 Minutes of Fame overview of their just released Horizon Report (I was lucky to be among some great colleagues on thei Adivsory Board […]
My hands are quivering. The DTs are starting. I have photos to upload… and Flickr has sent the database for a massage? Will all the tags be rubbed down as well? Will there be vibrant toenail polish? Will the bunions be sanded? An herbal wrap? Oh well, I guess I can find something else to […]
Feedback is a mixed bag, and one lessons I may have learned is that you are never going to please an audience as wide as the one on the web. So among the many places we collect feedback, some recent ones have just caught my eye. First, from our Writing HTML tutorial, we have more […]
I spent my Saturday in school, not furthering my education, but paying my penance for zipping by a photo rador van last month. That’s right, I did an 8 hour course from the National Safety Council, in lieu of paying the full fine, going to court. Sitting in a cramped hot hotel conference room with […]
