flickr foto Arizona… Believe It Or Notavailable on my flickr December 4, 2004 and it is snowing up at our cabin in Strawberry, Arizona. Yes, believe it or not, Arizona is not just shifting sands of Arabian desert, certainly not here at 5600 elevation. Just returned from a delightful extended weekend at our cabin, and […]

I’ve written before about the sheer joy of getting feedback on a now 11 year old online Writing HTML tutorial…. see [1] [2] [3], but still get a warm feeling with emails like this one that arrived yesterday: I have read this material for one month (Writting HTML).

Ouch, can you feel the pain, of faculty, students, tired techies… The servers hosting the Blackboard Enterprise system 6 of our colleges share had some sort of “cataclysmic” failure of the SAN- the data storage.

Bloggers can start feeling like their voice is powerful, but the power may be vaporized in the face of multibillion dollar companies. Jason Kottke, who has had a great running fascination with Ken Jenning’s wild Jeopardy marathon, apparently is being threatened by Sony (who owns the show and likely 1/3 of the planet) is spanking […]
If you think I get overly torqued about spammers, poor web site from big entities and doofus customer service is right up there as well.
