Wikis are one of the most powerful, and low barrier entry of Web2.0 technologies, and ironically, ancient, almost as old as HTML itself. Thanks to a twitter links from Vicki Davis (twitterbution), I came across one today that is certainly proving itself as a wiki way to do things. This post is not strictly about […]
I’ve been still mentally energy catching up after the sprint marathon that is running our Symposium on Mashups last week and thuse am delinquent on sharing what an over-the-top session Jim Groom and Tom Woodward did on Welcome to the People’s Republic of Non-Programistan — including fake accents for 30 minutes — catch the Connect […]
I’ve tried to formulate it in my head and cannot put exactly to words why I love so much taking photos. And now I decided I dont really have to have it in words. It’s what energizes me. And so much has been rekindled just since January on taking on the challenge of the 366 […]
There is a new private beta for Toufee, one of the online video editor site listed at slot 41 on my 50 Web 2.0 Ways to Tell a Story (the order means nothing). I’ve not had time to do much with it, but San, the guy behind the software, is offering me to share invites […]
In the future, many of you will claim they were there for today’s Confessions of a Mashup Un-Artist presentation by Brian Lamb. You will claim you were dancing on top of the school bus, poking your head in the tv sets, grooving to the wild audio remix he concocted.
How often do you hear a comment from someone in the audience that says a presentation was “transformative”? And honestly, calling what Brian put on today a “presentation” (which suggests the linear yawnfests of clicking slides) is a misjustice- it was a Performance. Art. It was a Moment.
Well, I think so. I am sure a lot of folks in the audience were saying to themselves… “what the hell was THAT?” or “that was interesting, but how do I use that in the classroom?” Its good a good sign when people have strong reactions to art, good or bad– cause it gets a visceral rise.

Tweetclouds generates this once granted your tiwtter user name. I wanted one! Bryan has one! But when I tried […]
WordPress 2.5 has been out a few days, what am I waiting for? Actually for my Dreamhost hosted sites, the upgrade is a brainless click with its One Click install/upgrades. I am done. Well not completely, the whole admin interface is different! It has that new car WordPress.com smell, the old blue is gone, we […]
Chaos / Order by cogdogblog posted 30 Mar ’08, 11.54am MDT PST on flickr I finally got the pieces of my office desk up here, and with some cussing, drilling, glue managed to re-assemble it (a few of those cam/post things got mangled in my hast of packing up). So on the right side, meet […]
I cannot even remember what I was doing poking around San Francisco with Google Maps, but I was looking around The City with the Street View option turned on it was along a stretch of a street I notice that as I move around, I was following the same car. This makes sense as the […]
