Zamzar is a very powerful striped cone-headed frog…. Actually Zamzar is a very handy, web-base, free tool for converting files – different types of graphics, audio or document files (dealing with those infernal Microsoft Office *.docx or *.pptx file types). You upload a file, and Zamzar the Wonder Converter emails you later with a link […]
Nice guys by Sebastián-Dario posted 26 Oct ’08, 7.57pm MDT PST on flickr Cachorritos de Lila You can hardly glance at twitter or open your RSS feeds these days without reading about zombies. WTF? Lumbering flesheaters are somehow fashionable? Time magazine gushes about them. The New York Times loves ’em. Jane Austen now embraces them. […]
cc licensed flickr photo from irishdragongreen I’d heard from a colleague today that they got a Dear John email from Yahoo informing them that the online video editor app Jumpcut was going away, as confirmed by the “in the deadpool” story from TechCrunch. It’s little surprise, given the December 2008 move where Jumpcut removed the […]
Oh if you caught Beautiful Depravity back when they were starting out, you’d know what pure true Metal music is all about. Of course by the time Thou Art Metal came out in 2002, they had already lost a lead guitarist to a bizarre accident with a welding torch, and their original keyboard player found […]
Since it has been on going for almost as long as I have been in the ed tech field (going back to 1996), the annual Technology, Colleges and Community conference feels like a regular part of the changing seasons. This annual online conference may be the longest running international technology conference (I am sure someone […]
Doing the photo a day for the 2009/365 photos group is not all that much an effort; it has become more of a daily habit than regular dental care (don’t tell Dr Fow!). What almost takes more effort is keeping my count organized; I am naming them all this year with a title of 2009/365/x […]
While shaking off the thick layers of coding dust in my Feed2JS efforts, I also took some time to update the code for my Five Card Flickr site- you can play with it now at http://web.nmc.org/5cardstory/. Again, this is a variant of Five Card Nancy, where you are challenged to assemble 5 photos randomly plucked […]
It’s been on my “one day I hope to” list to put some development effort into Feed2JS a thing I spawned back in the Cro-Magnum era of RSS as a tool to help people insert dynamic content into their web pages by a script that renders it via JavaScript. I totally got the idea from […]
Woah, Neo, I am back home. Yesterday started on a sailboat at Sampson Cay in the Bahamas, and 19 hours later I was home where it was 30 degrees. Ahh, back in action, but now I will reminisce on the last 10 days What did I miss?
It is actually only eight days so far bit the bliss of this vacation in the Bahamas is ocean deep. I flew to Ft Lauderdale March 30, had my last sips of the tubes (for the first time since I can’t recall I’m travelling without a laptop, just the iPhone- how free it is to […]
