Up to this point I’ve been assuming that I didn’t have a student readership, but now that I’m teaching a class…
Oh well, my real point is that we can’t turn off the electricity, so I may as well post this. This Tweet just in form Michael Wesch: “Chacha … new ways to [...]
…or this is probably headed somewhere. This particular thread started with a post in IF:book ‘looking at libraries‘. Though you should keep in mind that it is thoroughly haunted my last post and Stephen Downes well taken point, “All authentication fails.” Actually it may have started with Chris Mesina’s Thoughts on Data Portability over [...]
You may have noticed that I’m a bit obsessed with Seadragon and it’s various off shoots, but I just stumbled on a more home grown approach to getting more text on the page. Take a look at Issue Magazine which is just out; it’ll take some experimenting to get the interface but that’s part of [...]

As I mentioned I’ve been doing some stuff for a couple of local arts organizations and not surprisingly cost of service is an issue. In other words it pretty much needs to be free. This isn’t a problem in and of itself; there are more free services than I can keep [...]
For the past while I’ve been wondering why I spend $100 a year for web hosting. I could get all the services, blog, email, etc. for free, and I don’t think that Google or Microsoft is going out of business anytime soon. Yahoo I’m not so sure about, but still. Here’s a horror story by [...]
That’s their title not mine, but that aside. I’ve been an off and on fan of mind-mapping for some time, but I’ve always craved something more 3-D. Enter Personal Brain 4 which is somewhere in between mind & concept mapping or maybe the best of both. PB4 comes in three flavors including a free version [...]
Jason Calacanis has a review of the MacBook Air which freely translated comes down to, “…it’s game changing because it’s really, really lightweight.” This isn’t as silly as it sounds; we expected that students would all be carrying their laptops everywhere, but this doesn’t seem to be the case. Weight is clearly an issue, as [...]
