I was pretty sure I had seen it before in quick passing, by Michael Feldstein’s recent mention of Instructables led me back for a slight deeper scan: Here’s a nice little tool, community, and design pattern for creating and sharing how-to learning objects. Basically, it provides a wizard for inputting text step descriptions and illustrative […]
It’s wonderful when real people can utter statements that go beyond what someone’s imagination can conjure up. I live in Scottsdale, Arizona, a city known for its luxury resorts, endless seas of golf courses, ritzy art galleries, giant mansions (who truly requires 15,000 square feet of living space), monster SUVs, etc. The money increases as […]
Thanks to an email nudge from “Jamie”, I’ve added Yahoo My Web 2.0 to the set of social bookmark tools you can combine into one browser tool via the Make Your Own Multipost Bookmarklet Tool. For those not even sure what all this means, I built a page that allows you to pick all the […]
We announced to Maricopa today the availability of our MCLI iForum at http://www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/iforum/ This is the first online version of the print publication we’ve run for many years.

I can blog about my big toe and rude telephone trees, but I’ve been completely lax in blogging my experience in going back to the classroom. This semester, my wife and I have been taking an Arizona History class, offered at Maricopa’s Scottsdale Community College. What is remarkable, is the teacher, and reason for taking […]
Last night, I was using my wife’s PC laptop to test a web site in Internet Explorer, which nicely reminded my that 11 Critical Updates were needed. After running these and restarted, the machine was totally frozen about 90% into the startup sequence. It was toast. Stretching my minimal PC rescue skills, I was able […]
Someone out there has been working at hacking this web server. I am so #&$^$ing tired of wasting my time rebuilding it, trying to fortify it, being a server den mom is not in my interest. This web server provides free services such as Feed2JS and the cheerful barkings of this blog among others. Frankly, […]
