Not to be outdone by other bloggers and their six-year-old kids, I set up a blog for my son Jacob recently. We've posted some artwork, a bit of keyboarding practice, and two podcasts so far. He's done all the work with a little help from me on some HTML markup ...

I've created two wiki pages to collect input from folks who might (or might not) be interested in attending my sessions at the upcoming TIES Technology Conference. I could be wrong, but I think it's pretty cool to be able to have this kind of input before a conference session. ...

I posted about Flock a little over a month ago and wondered if it would be the first Web 2.0 browser. I downloaded the first pre-alpha-developer release today after getting an email about it and so far it's looking pretty interesting. This is definitely not a release for the faint ...

I was listening to a podcast at IT Conversations recently by Paula Le Dieu, Co-Director of a BBC project to digitize years of archives and make them available under a Creative Commons license.

Google Blog Search is out in Beta mode. It appears that they are building an index of RSS feeds which may or may not be actual blogs. I don't see any tagging going on, but if I were Technorati I probably wouldn't be sleeping very well right now. Don't miss ...

It's been long in coming, but the newest installment of the Savvy Technologist Podcast has finally arrived. But it's not the usual STP. I've always enjoyed the Gillmor Gang podcast and I've wanted to do something like it in the educational technology category for a long time. Now that I've ...

If you're reading this you'll know that I have landed safely in San Jose, CA for a week of intense training at the Apple Distinguished Educator Summer Institute. I'm not quite sure what to expect actually, but I'm confident that it will be top-knotch. Ever since I was selected as ...

How do you know you're a geek? I'd say that if you get home from a long trip in Philadelphia, New York, and Winona, MN and you stay up until 1:30 a.m. trying to figure out why the RSS feed from your blog is invalid, you're a geek. I noticed ...
