My wife was at a dinner recently– she ran nto an old friend and colleague we’d not heard from in a while. Eduardo mentioned “but I read Alan’s blog all the time…”, so Eduardo, this blog post is for you to see if you are there- send me an email and our next lunch meet […]
Last time I checked, the toe was into learning objects, but now it is FB bound? Why not. Flickr is in Facebook. Slideshare just entered Facebook. Twitter has been there a while. My dog is in there. The parade goes on and on. I am nodding in agreement with Stephen with some skepticism as to […]
What could be better than a good bone? How about Dogbook? Cadu is now part of my profile! Woo! Linktribution to Beth, thanks! So will everything find its way to Facebook? Will it consume Yahoo, Google, the very earth itself?
It helps to sit back and take in how prolific the web has become- no it does not reach every world citizen and there are divides, indeed, but to lose sight of how it permeates culture and digs deeper all the time– well it means something to me to acknowledge it. What is ordinary today […]
My own photo taken a few days ago in La Crosse, Wisconsin I hope when the blog starts up tomorrow, I have some Really Net Neat Stuff to read, find, and blab about. I’m just coming off a 10 day stretch of very little time on the machine, as my wife and I did some […]
A double dose of WordPress pressure from Jerry and Andy (at NMC Summer Conference). Where is the Reverend when you need him? Had fun hanging out in Indy with Gardner, Jerry, Andy, Martha and Jen of the UMW Gang. They run at the same high level of fun energy I saw at faculty Academy. And […]
Twitter has grown up and disbanded the silly and annoying cat in the server photos for times when the service is off kilter. They’ve gone uptown with a new bird warning: Dogs rule!
As we exited from a fabulous seafood dinner at the Oceanaire in downtown Indianapolis, our tourist eyes were caught by the flashing light animation up the street- looked like a electronic dancer, an avatar maybe. When we asked the valet what that was, he quickly explained it: Waste of Taxpayers Money Gotta like the honesty […]
It’s the day before I board the Big Old Jet Airliner to the NMC Summer Conference and I am piling on the Web 2.0 Tagging goodness, or zaniness. This recap is as much to document as to thanks those I lean on.
Last year, at the 2006 Summer conference in Cleveland, being my first one in the fold of NMC employment, I rolled out a Tag This Conference page, mixing up del.icio.us, flickr, and hopefully technorati content all tagged with nmc2006, the page doing so with some help from a local version of feed2js. Repeated this tagging for the 2006 Regional Conference in San Antonio.
So without too much extension, the Web 1.0ish page is up for next week’s conference spiffed up a bit by bringing it also up as a Tumblog, which presents the feeds from the same 3 sources a bit more stylishly.
Okay, that is good, but…
This barking is only partly about twitter. Well, actually its not about twitter at all, but I think I can satisfy some sanity overload by mentioning twitter 3 times in my first three sentences. Over the long Memorial Day weekend here in the states, I’ve spent almost no time on the computer, and not much […]
