This time Professor Wesch calls it Information R/evolution. I’ve decided the embedded video is unacceptably slow here on my site, so click here to go to YouTube and watch it there. Like his previous video, it will be worth the effort because it illuminates and educates as it entertains. Here is what he says about [...]

If you built it I would come
Tuesday, September 18, 2007
I’ve already given this idea to the on-duty manager of the grocery store where I shop but she probably filed it under looney ideas gleaned from talkative old men in the checkout line and did little or nothing else with it, so I’m offering it to any of my programmer friends who might want to [...]
The Jing Project
Tuesday, July 31, 2007
If you are like me, you have a few friends who rely on you to help them out occasionally with using their computer. I often find myself talking with these folks by Skype both because it saves money and/or minutes on the calls and because I enjoy being hands free when I’m talking with them. [...]
Proof of Life
Monday, July 30, 2007
In an email exchange this morning with my friend Juan, who recently celebrated turning 60, he commented that he had been somewhat concerned about me because he noticed that I hadn’t updated my blog in “many days.” He is right of course in a manner of speaking , but in another way he is overlooking [...]
Flock revisited
Tuesday, July 10, 2007
This morning I discovered through my RSS feeds that version 0.9 of Flock was available for download, so I downloaded and installed it. I am writing this post using its blog editor. My initial impressions of the user interface are generally positive as it is quite different than it was when I last used it. [...]
IPass
Friday, June 29, 2007
With all the hoopla about the new Apple iPhone’s arrival mere moments from now and with people like Robert Scoble standing on line in Palo Alto (“because that’s where all the geeks will be“), I thought this cartoon from bLaugh expressed my feelings about the frenzy pretty accurately. I just wish it said iPhooey rather [...]
Google Reader shortcut keys demoed
Thursday, June 28, 2007
In this short video, I demonstrate a few of the shortcut keys I use in reading RSS feeds in Google Reader. I’ve taken the video showing the entire screen, so trying to read detail will be difficult, but having you see the detail clearly wasn’t my purpose in recording it. The idea was to show [...]
The amazing future
Tuesday, June 5, 2007
Watch this seven plus minute video and prepare to be amazed at what an application called Photosynth can do. It’s architect, Blaise Aguera y Arcas, demonstrates and describes the technology and what lies ahead. (Link courtesy of Michael K. Bergman of AI3.) It’s so amazing, I almost want to begin exercising just to ensure I [...]
Hooked
Sunday, June 3, 2007
The incredible Mr. Moor, who began blogging recently but quite reluctantly I must admit, has discovered the joy of blogging. I helped him install Windows Live Writer and for the first several entries at his blog I logged in to his system remotely and took him by the hand to guide him as he made those [...]
More on Windows Live Writer
Thursday, May 31, 2007
I was a bit disappointed yesterday after installing version 2.0 of Windows Live Writer that it didn’t give me the ability to create new Pages or to add Categories from the interface in WLW. So this morning I went to the WLW MSN Group and joined it where I found a thread describing the same [...]
