Following a link in an email notification from Jay Allen‘s Comment Spam web site, I came across the best “404 Document Not Found” page I’ve seen in a while: For more fun things like this, or if you have some large amounts of time to idle away, check out the 404 Research Lab, which beyond […]
I’ve been deploying my day time discoveries some web design work I do outside the Maricopa gig… most recently wrapping some of the Small Technologies Loosely Joined for the Eye Dog Foundation. This is a local organization that raises and trains German Shepherds as guide dogs for the blind, providing them at no cost. This […]
If you love flickr as much as me, well, you need a groovy, iPod like tune. A band called birdw0rks has done it, check out the flickr song [4.5 Mb mp3], and if your ears are a bit, ahem, well “mature”, here are the lyrics. Oh, there is also cover art. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So […]
After my usual too-much-over-the-top-sarcasm bark at the Professional Bloggers Association, I got a quick professional PBA trackback from their new professional PBA site: Trackback: “Chuckle…” Excerpt: My own personal snarky anti-fan strikes again: http://cogdogblog.com/alan/archives/2005/01/21/amateur.php He does this periodically, so please don’t lash out at him.

Holy Flickr! I just blindly stmbled into yet another wildly frenetic flickr functionality. I think it was Roland’s feed that led me here, but flickr is being used, along with its note features, to create a collaborative map of Vancouver– a series of closer and father up images of the city based on ?? Keyhole. […]
(with apologies to Meg’s “What We’re Doing When We Blog”)… Discussions of “folksonomy” are meme-ing across the blog-space and I am disappointed that it is yet another round of issues being encamped in dichotomies. I am picturing something like a “Meta Data Professional Wrestling Smackdown” (imagine a deep booming voice, not mine as no signs […]
Today was one of those technical gambles that actually, sort of worked! This morning, the EDUCUASE/NLII Meeting in New Orleans had a general session where the New Media Consortium provided a 5 Minutes of Fame overview of their just released Horizon Report (I was lucky to be among some great colleagues on thei Adivsory Board […]
My hands are quivering. The DTs are starting. I have photos to upload… and Flickr has sent the database for a massage? Will all the tags be rubbed down as well? Will there be vibrant toenail polish? Will the bunions be sanded? An herbal wrap? Oh well, I guess I can find something else to […]
I’m into some crazy stuff. If you told me even last year I’d be having a 1 hour, clear, voice conversation over the net to a colleague in Finland, I would check to see what medications you were missing. But today, I was interviewed via Skype by Teemu Arina from Finland, where he was the […]
Feedback is a mixed bag, and one lessons I may have learned is that you are never going to please an audience as wide as the one on the web. So among the many places we collect feedback, some recent ones have just caught my eye. First, from our Writing HTML tutorial, we have more […]
