Ouch. The first day back at work after an extended time offline. Is there anything else that dangerously might be an influence on the decision to devote time to not being online? I am taking a stand and saying no, even as I drown in un-replied urgent emails, mark as “read” hundreds of RSS feed […]
So yeah, flickr was swallowed by the big fish Yahoo, and piss off the old skoolers. At least the site still surprises with some bursts of quirky personality syndrome, as a search today just resulted in a Bill The Cat response: You gotta love an error that says, “Ack”! It makes you want to say, […]
It seems to be a human condition to extend our own experiences to generalities. So for example, in hours trying to help my wife and her computer woes (like Windows not being able to open desktop windows), I can say with confidence, “Windows Sucks”. Or when I put in a telephone call to my insurance […]
Wow, I really hope PPTExchange is a parody, please say it is so… Are you the kind of person who writes their thoughts down in PowerPoint? Did you ever think that your presentations might be worth sharing -or even worth money? We’re exactly those people, and we thought: Wouldn’t it be nice to have a […]
I found a new cartoon tag line for this blog, on the front page at Live in the Deliirious Cool (no idea what the site is)… I’ll let them bear the brunt of re-use of a published newspaper cartoon. There are two dogs talking, one says, “I had my own blog for a while, but […]
The plans are just in the draft stage, but I’ve gotten an awesome invitation from the Australian Flexible Learning Network to do a speaking tour of the Australia capitol capital cities in October 2007. In this case, I’d be having to fill some rather large, chocolate filled shoes, as this year’s speaker for the series […]
Between travel earlier this week for NMC meetings, time off between now and Monday, and squeezing in many late night hours banging our new drupal site (should be able to share it in a few weeks), I’m feeling way behind the blog train. Just sifting through my RSS feeds, I am compelled to send a […]
In between travel for meetings, trying to ramp up the new beta for an NMC site, and some time off this week, the blogging quotient here promises to be low and/or dull. Heck, I;ve not even taken a photo in like a week. And I’m not even getting to go to Northern Voice (sniff). I’m […]
And maybe instead, we can get it with 5 minutes, no bullet points, no lecturing in Web 2.0 … The Machine is Us/ing Us, a YouTube gem: This comes from Digital Ethnography @ Kansas State University, “a working group of Kansas State University students and faculty dedicated to exploring and extending the possibilities of digital […]
I’ve waxed often on my love of Google Reader and of the personalized, gadget/widget laden Google Home page, but now I am all googly about Google in my Google. Huh? A few days ago I added the module for Google Reader to be a part of my Google home page: This sits along side the […]
