I’m too tired to even properly research this, but lately (?? weeks) I’ve been unable to get flickr to properly post blog posts to several of my WordPress blogs. Flickr keeps reporting my password may need to be changed, which is bunk as I know they are correct. With a little digging, I found an […]
My own photo taken a few days ago in La Crosse, Wisconsin I hope when the blog starts up tomorrow, I have some Really Net Neat Stuff to read, find, and blab about. I’m just coming off a 10 day stretch of very little time on the machine, as my wife and I did some […]
Shown by Apple’s Don henderson today at the closing of the 2007 NMC Summer Conference, An Empty Cubicle is a film created by students at the Art Institute of Seattle and a winner of the Insomnia Film Festival. It is well worth a watch! But hey Apple, sniff the Web 2.0 fumes and provide cut […]
The expedia jingle (and their annoying 1-800 number) has that annoying… “DOT COMMMMMM” – but I am ready to change it to “dot crap”. I am currently stranded unexpectedly in Chicago as Expedia booked my on a flight that does not exist. I planned travel following the NMC Summer Conference to fly from Indianapolis to […]
A double dose of WordPress pressure from Jerry and Andy (at NMC Summer Conference). Where is the Reverend when you need him? Had fun hanging out in Indy with Gardner, Jerry, Andy, Martha and Jen of the UMW Gang. They run at the same high level of fun energy I saw at faculty Academy. And […]
Previously, I’ve noted a cool video site, dotSUB, that takes an interesting approach to ultimately add multi-lingual captions to video– allowing visitors to the site to add translations of the captions into any of the numerous other languages supported on the site.. or, as I call it, “user generated video captioning”. Today, I chatted with […]
Twitter has grown up and disbanded the silly and annoying cat in the server photos for times when the service is off kilter. They’ve gone uptown with a new bird warning: Dogs rule!
Courtesy of an airline magazine, on the way to Indianapolis, I found some gem quality quotes from a last interview with Kurt Vonnegut. Among the quotables was one that really spoke to me, especially in response to Martha’s thoughtful post on why blog: I speak with real painters and real artists from time to time […]
As we exited from a fabulous seafood dinner at the Oceanaire in downtown Indianapolis, our tourist eyes were caught by the flashing light animation up the street- looked like a electronic dancer, an avatar maybe. When we asked the valet what that was, he quickly explained it: Waste of Taxpayers Money Gotta like the honesty […]
It’s the day before I board the Big Old Jet Airliner to the NMC Summer Conference and I am piling on the Web 2.0 Tagging goodness, or zaniness. This recap is as much to document as to thanks those I lean on.
Last year, at the 2006 Summer conference in Cleveland, being my first one in the fold of NMC employment, I rolled out a Tag This Conference page, mixing up del.icio.us, flickr, and hopefully technorati content all tagged with nmc2006, the page doing so with some help from a local version of feed2js. Repeated this tagging for the 2006 Regional Conference in San Antonio.
So without too much extension, the Web 1.0ish page is up for next week’s conference spiffed up a bit by bringing it also up as a Tumblog, which presents the feeds from the same 3 sources a bit more stylishly.
Okay, that is good, but…
