Among the cleanup I am doing here is continual emptying of the comment spam on a site I created, blogged about, but will not link directly, but it is more or less a publication, perhaps even, a “forum” that “i” created at MCLI. But I am not writing about the content. Nooooooooo, when would I […]
Where did all the conversations go about “EduGlu” apps? Maybe people are doing it rather than writing about it… Well, here is a nice example from the Maricopa trenches– Shelley Rodrigo teachers a Cinema Class at Mesa Community College and has pretty much set up her class across a trio of Web X.0 tools. The […]
I could have done something in those four, make it, five, make it several college years, when wonderful offers like today’s email spam brings: Obtaining a DIPLOMA has never been so easy! Call today and find out how you could get your DIPLOMA from a highly credible college, Full Transcripts, A Letter of Recommendations, and […]
In the past I have used this space to vent about experiences with bad customer service (phone trees, bad online help systems, etc), so it is only fair to report a positive experience. This morning I called Qwest to set up phone lines and internet service for my home office to be ready when I […]
flickr foto Another Project, Another Dayavailable on my flickr This stack of 70+ CDs now hides in my home office closet. It represents my archive of personal photos going back to maybe 2000. Since iPhoto (older version) gets fussy with more than 500 photos, and is really groaning the drive on my old 700MhZ iBook […]
I had fun this afternoon helping in a wiki workshop at South Mountain Community College. “Dr Coop” is Alisa Cooper, a gem of an English teacher who pretty much tries and finds almost every new technology- in a thoughtful and effective manner. She got turned onto PBWiki last year and has been using it extensively […]
Nutrition experts tell us breakfast is the most important meal of the day. As dedicated cereal-aholic, after munching my bowl, there is just no room for the heaping piles of fatty, fetid, rotten spam that I empty out of my SpamKarma 2 traps on a daily basis (bless you 1,000,00 times, Dr. Dave). The portions […]
flickr foto Wow, This Web Thing Might be BIGavailable on my flickr Our site got featured in one of the early books about the web, The World Wide Web Unleashed by John December (1994). As I winnow down the last 2 weeks on the job at Maricopa, I am unearthing a lot of nostalgic artifacts […]
I feel like I just finished a double marathon. Kind of like the trendy “speed dating” events (no first hand experience here), I spent two hours this morning doing demos at Rio Salado College, the Maricopa college that specializes in online learning. Inspired by a session at the EDUCAUSE ELI 2006 Conference where presenters used […]
On a very off topic note, for well over a year, I have been dealing with an annoying, dry hacking cough. I’ve seen my general practitioner, and went through ineffective treatment for mild allergies and asthma. For the last 5 months, I have been to a pulmonary specialist and we have tried ruling out an […]
