I promise this is the last thing I will blog about twitter…. today. Moreso than the back and forth about twitter being the Signpost of Doom that People Need to Get a Life, vs the It’s Just Great to Banter with People I Like, it is amazing how quickly it is moving as a techno-meme. […]
Modified my own flickr photo! I’ve been madly tagging sites on delicious for at least 2 or 3 years now, and rely on it solely as my web resource collection. For a long while I used as a tool a version of the bookmarklet tool I had rigged into my bookmarklet tool maker (wow there […]
It’s hardly, hardly news anymore when a search in Google unveils the answer to a technical problem. But every time it happens, I get a tickle. Still. Like a newbie searcher. This borders on techno-trivia, but I’ve been working on some code that will allow us at NMC to create our own registration form to […]
Bet yer Bloglines cannot do this! One of the features I treasured in my desktop RSS reader (back when I used NetNewsWire) was that it would periodically download the lastest feeds and store the content on my computer. This meant then if I was offline (e.g. on a plane), I could still browse and read […]
Doh! Sound of blog remorse! In writing about the CNI Horizon Project presentation, I was remiss in leaving out one of the coolest discoveries — that Vicki Davis (coolcatteacher in georgia) and 4 other secondary school teachers in Austria, Bangladesh, China, and Australia are doing another fabulous Flat Classroom project — and this one they […]
I’ve heard raves and howls about Dreamhost for web hosting, but my experience so far as been stellar. I really like the one-click install / updates for WordPress; previously, the announcement of a new 0.01 update I might delay a few days, weeks to get around to backing up the database, de-activating plugins, backing up […]
I’ve made us here (and there and there) of Clustrmaps, the free web tool that can pin your web site visitors to a map by reverse geolocation mapping of their IP address. It’s very cool, and has the great attribute of what I am attracted to in Web 2.0 land- it’s free, easy to set […]
A quick shout-out to Andy Rush for sharing his work on theming and connecting together the UMW New Media Center site using a common theme deployed in WordPress and MediaWiki. It’s very elegant design, and as you navigate back and forth, perhaps the distinction of “this is a wiki” and “this is a blog” blur […]
Will 2007 be the year noted for the explosion of use for web video? Was it 2006? We just completed a 2 day conference on this at NMC, and I have this dreadful pile of great content I feel like I should get into and start discovering on my own. As soon as I can […]
If you are a text messager, try this on your mobile: 41411 cogdog The latest, goofiest, likely mispelliest headline from CogDogBlog. Just what the world needs. This was created with TextMarks, a free service where you can set up a keyword so when someone TXTs it will get back either fixed response, or as I […]
