Goodbye MobileMe, we hardly knew ye
During Monday’s Apple Worldwide Developer’s Conference (WWDC) I was at my normal multiple monitors position tracking several live-blogs and twit.tv’s live stream and was intrigued about what the demise of MobileMe was going to mean to those of us with blogs and websites hosted on the service. In typical Apple-style with it’s lightning-focus on delivering …
Beware of Joe & His Camera
This is a vent and a bit of a rant. It’s probably unwise for me to share this, and so I want to offer a blanket apology to anyone who feels that I’m being unfair or that it’s wrong for me to write about this. I guess that’s kind’a what this comes down to: as …
iPad Encounter
I finally got a chance to spend some time at a couple local Apple Stores to handle an iPad. I don’t mean to be so Zen about it, but given all of the noise from the fan boys and haters, Reality is not either good or bad, Reality is just reality. Case in point, my …
The Cat Piano & Random Web
I love the random web. A student referred a short film nominated in this year’s oscars, wondering how they got away with using so many logos and trademarked images in their film: logorama (which, interestingly, has a copyright symbol in their movie title!). So I went to YouTube to see the full video. It wasn’t …
Gotta Keep Reading Video on Oprah’s Show Today
Got an unusual email from the boss, Dr. Ludgate, this morning saying that she wasn’t going to be able to make today’s graduation ceremony. Bummer.

Moving Media Around the House
By definition, this is a “first world” problem. In the news gap between CES and the Apple event next week, I’ve been thinking a lot about how I might manage my media collections between all of my computers. The buzz around the Boxee box and anticipating the need to have most of my working data …
TWiT Reflection into the New Decade
I’ve been watching Leo since the early ZD-TV days. It feels like it was early Internet, but it really wasn’t. Here was a guy and a show that was part of this tech world that I was a part of, that no one else understood. So for their last podcast for 2009, TWiT 228, they …
Moodle is NOT a Verb, or is it?
This was my last week teaching Full Sail/emdtms’ LMO (Learning Management Systems) course and I couldn’t end our time together without a little conversation about Moodle. Enjoy. Moodle is not a verb, or is it? I’ve been hearing about Moodle at ed/tech conferences for longer than I can remember. In the early years it seemed …
