Yet another instance where an attempt to use the Windows XP operating system has rendered it toast on the bottom side of my MacBookPro. Fortunately, I have a reliable OS on the front side. It’s bad enough that my latest web design effort includes 30% of the time developing and testing in a web standard […]
Remix of original cc-licensed flickr photo by crowulf Alas. my iPod Shuffle is gone, softly in the night. I’d noticed a few weeks ago that it refused to work in my car via my DLO Transpod FM transmitter, just blinked orange. Since it played music via my head phones, I thought it was the transpods […]
Not writing much this week. Looking for nouns. Must find noun…. Just kidding (not that the world would wobble off its axis if I focused on work rather than badly typing about it). January is ramping up with project intensity, still working with our drupal developers on getting the NMC Web site’s 2.0 version ready […]
flickr foto Multiple Browsers = Impact of Web 2.0available on flickr For reasons likely harder to write, I now have numerous iterations of myself at multiple web application sites, including 3 Google accounts (mail, reader, docs, calendar), 2 del.icio.us accounts, 3 flickr accounts. I hate having to log in and log out to do tasks, […]
Note: I guess I was wrong here in my assertions below. Don’t miss Greg’s comment below. Can I still be eligible for the prize drawing? Cue up the guitar riff from Warren Zevon… Somewhere, several places in the world, there are scores of people who’s job it is to scrounge the net for usage of […]
I have a soft sentimental spot for technology thats till works well after a 5+ year lifespan. Since 2003, on this blog, I have made use of Bryan Boyer’s IndyJunior Flash Mapping Module, which parses data from an external XML file to plot geographic locations that this dog travels to or has been before– see […]
This might be Chapter 57 of my tool brigade— I have known peripherally about LibraryThing for a while, and did play a while ago with a pale cousin named Reader2.. but holy #@^@%, Does LibraryThing (hereto-after referred to as LT) rock as a powerful social net app. It starts in email.. someone on the NMC […]
flickr foto 0.5 of a 43 Thingavailable on flickr One of my 43 Things is listed as "Sell a Photograph as Art". I think this comes close. A few months ago, maybe more, someone from a publishing company asked permission to use a rather old photo from my Sonoran Desert Sampler (actually it is a […]
In some ways this is part two of the “walking the tools” rant. I still see a rather low awareness of the power of making use of creative commons licensed content ad I put out the call to fellow edubloggers to be more vigilant on demonstrating the use of CC content…. and being a model […]
I confess I am a web tool junkie. Surely everybody who’s had to deal with me on a project was heard something like, “why don’t we use a wiki for that?” or “why not tag the resource links on del.iciou.us?” or “ewwww, a listserv, that is so 1980s”. It’s a reflex, likely annoying. If I […]
