As I clean up my web site directory, 14 years of accumulated stuff, I start wondering just how many web sites I had set up for our offices’ various projects and events. Not to be horn blowing, but I am staggered to see that I found 260 different event web sites dating back mostly to […]
Triggered by yesterday’s post on how one of our Spanish teachers started using PBWiki, I got a nice email from Ramit, one of the PBWiki co-founders, seeking ideas on how to “spread” the peanut butter / wiki concept to other teachers: I also noticed you’re involved in instructional technology, so I wanted to ask your […]
Twice this week I’ve gotten requests to use some of my flickr photos (and ironically both photos were taken in San Diego, but on different trips) for use on other web sites. The first was asking to use my Gaslamp photos (1 and 2) for a San Diego tourist guide site (sorry, I lost track […]
All this spam is bad for my cholesterol 😉 The prolific blog spammer “phuong” (at least 150 spam servings in the last month) is curious since he/she/it are not leaving any URLs in the spam insertion attempt, only a cryptic message like: Xin choa, Minh den tu HK, minh mong muon luoc lam quen vui […]
Two days ago, a colleague at one of our colleges asked me what wiki software our district provides. I responded, “none” (In Maricopa, such services are hosted at each college), but I took the opportunity to suggest that he try one of the free, externally hosted ones to experiment and flesh out some content or […]

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 […]
