Do you like someone else’s web design color scheme? Curious as to what color codes are used? Try Red Alt – I Like Your Colors. Just enter a URl, and it fetches the colors used as defined in HTML or CSS (some sites seem not to give them up as easily, perhaps with the @import […]
More on the feed front. Sam at KinScape has offered and become the newest of the Feed2JS public mirror sites: http://www.kinscape.com/feed2js/ serving up feeds to JavaScript from a server in Michigan. Again, it was about a 30 minute install via ftp (mostly me finding my own typos and errors). We’re ready for more takers, let’s […]
I whimsically, and falsely, wrote My Dentist Has an RSS Feed (there was a point, but that post has scrolled away…). However, he is rather wired for his work. Today, at his new office, they used a digital xray machine that takes the photos of your teeth, but they insert a mini sensor card in […]
Often this blog has published my rants and vents against our IT department, like last month’s escapade with a hacked server. It’s only fair to report when things go the opposite way. I met face to face with the head of our server team and their top Linux tech, and they were both helpful, supportive, […]
Okay, maybe we’ve gushed a bit already, but something has happened here in our system. I think it is the Canadian aura, but after Brian Lamb’s Dialogue Day with us last week, people are now popping out of the ground like prairie dogs, and seeing a beautiful wheat filled plain of lovely information technologies… We’d […]
Here is a recent milestone- my first email of warning of copyright infringement. Apparently, my 2003 parody of Ripley’s saying Xxxxxxx Xx or Xxx! (I am bound not to actually use it apparently) in a presentation titled Learning Objects Xxxxxxx Xx or Xxx! was stepping on the toes of the Riplet folks: Maricopa Center for […]
Tonight I attended a OneBookAZ Authors night, and event sponsored/arranged by our office. OneBookAZ is a project in its (?) third year, where every April, one book is selected as a common one read by groups across the state and events are arranged for discussion etc. This year there were actually two books: one a […]
This week we are fortunate to have as a Scott Leslie as a “virtual guest: for our Ocotillo Learning Objects Groups discussions: http://zircon.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/ocotillo/bb/viewforum.php?f=20 Our internal participation is so far…. well…. light… so we are hoping some other voices in the mix might make things move along. Our discussion boards ar eopen for anyone to read, […]
Last Friday we had an eager audience for Brian Lamb’s visit for our Dialogue Day on Learning Objects, Wikis, And Other Curious Things. I’d say this blog summary is delayed as some people really despise things posted on April 1, but I have some other excuses. First of all, you can find Brian’s presentation materials […]
I keep recording the audio “skyperview” and “iRiverView” interviews I am doing for the upcoming article I am not yet writing, and have 21 now in the collection: http://www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/forum/spr05/podcast.html Most of these were colleagues I cornered with my mp3 recorder, as well as a few more audio devices So added to the list: * Eric […]
