Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
I seem to keep forgetting to take a look at the nifty Blogdigger service- a site that allows you to drop in a pile of RSS feeds, and have it return to you a single RSS that represents a combination of all the content. And there is more every time I go back. My experiment […]
I’d say it is nothing new these days to highlight or discover a new use of weblogs… No wait a minute, it still is interesting to see what pops up on the blog-o-verse. I’ve been at it since April 2003 and have helped a few groups and individuals in our system get started including 3 […]

Wireless technology spreads far and wide. A recent EurekAlert came my way (somewhere in the techie/gadget RSS feeds in my reader) that describes the use of wireless sensors to monitor the activity on Tungarahua in Ecuador (this one is for you, Michelle ;-): A rumbling South American volcano has gone wireless: Computer scientists at Harvard […]
If I knew better, I would take last week’s Ocotillo Virtual Kickoff as a resounding failure. We had set up a series of 1-4 minute streaming video welcomes from not only our top executive levels, but more important;y, the faculty co-chairs leading our new initiatives on learning objects, eportfolios, hybrid courses, and emerging technologies. We […]
This is the last session of the day. I think they want to go home. Let’s give a hand to our guest photographer, Jason, who’s image choice reflected how the group felt at the end of the conference. This group too ahs been rather receptive to some of the wacky ideas presented. Okay, that is […]
I am writing live from Black Canyon Conference Center in Phoenix doing session on so-called “new technologies” for people who work in workforce development centers and job training place. The “presentation” was whipped up this morning (it shows) as a wiki (a) because it is fast; and (b) I can demo a wiki. See “Rip. […]
Wednesday night, the Simpsons are coming to Maricopa! Writer Mike Reiss is coming to give a lecture on “Simpsons Mania: Behind the Scenes with America’s Favorite Family”: Culled from more than two decades of creating the funniest and most outrageous shows on television, Reiss’ presentation is a unique glimpse inside the cutting edge of entertainment, […]
In about 8 hours I will be pulling the Matrix plug out of the back of my neck, as I head north for a 3 day Grand Canyon adventure on the Hermit Trail — (e.g. no blogging, no barking, no ranting, just sweet silence on this blog site). It should be interesting- our streak of […]
Okay, 14 readers took the time to try the goofy, meaningless survey I posted as a quick demo of using phpQuestionnaire. The survey is open, and I have set this one up so the results are publicly viewable: http://zircon.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/phpq/stats.php?sid=3. What was nice was that I could tweak it in midstream based on the early feedbacks […]
