This is ordinary inter-campus mail: Functional, yes, but not all that exciting… Now this is something sent by avDAVE, the legendary media dude at Estrella Mountain Community College: Now that jumps out of your box! Thanks Dave for getting me the audio recordings!
This afternoon I am doing an hand-on workshop on our Maricopa ePortfolio tool for the participants in our Maricopa Faculty Internship program. We have had some program like this for a few years where a year’s full of experiences, projects, mentoring is supposedly captured in a one page Word document report. I’ve been applying pressure […]
I think someone slipped a red pill in my cheerios… I don’t know about you, but the unit of time “business days” has as much meaning as if you said to me, “I will have that ready for you in about 67hdHysuR%dsa87s*jkL days. I took my dead iBook to the Apple Store for repair on […]
I read a feed, clicked a link, clicked another, and another, and lost my path, but here I am at FeedMap:

For sometime we’ve been hearing this occasional squeak/squeal coming from either the belts or the wheels, it is intermittent and hard to associate with specific events. We’ve asked our mechanic to check it out, trying to describe […]
For some reason this morning, NetNewsWire Lite (my desktop OS X RSS reader) was slow in updating the feeds, so I started poking around the interface. In the bottom left I noticed a small double arrow control labeled “default”, and I thought… “what does this do?”: Why it’s a menu! What does it do?: It’s […]
Wow, looking back on previous blog posts, I have had a grouchy streaks of barks and growls. Tonight, I am taking the blue pill and maybe readers can look forward for maybe a few weeks of happy posts. I hope it is extra strength!
If any readers really think I know what the _____ I am doing with web server technology, please let this morning’s adventure convince you otherwise. By one fell swoop/click, I managed to knock this whole server out of whack. I was trying to do set up a temporary ftp access so a colleague could transmit […]
