After waiting for a replacement camera battery and a new 8 Gb memory card, I was eager to try out a first Gigapan image.

That said, I feel overwhelmingly fortunate to put out a single request and get a string of responses. With this, and despite […]
Hordes of edubloggers and more are descending on San Antonio for the NECC 2008 show (“the National Educational Computing Conference, the world’s largest educational technology conference for teachers and technology coordinators”). They will be a’blogging, twittering, flickring, tagging, ning-ing… see Vicki Davis’ coverage plan via netvibes. Colleagues like Hey Jude Judy O’Connell are winging in […]
