I'll be at the TIES Technology Leadership Camp tomorrow presenting a full-day session called "Introducing the Read-Write Web: Blogging, Wikis and RSS."

The old science teacher in me was delighted to discover yesterday that NPR's Science Friday program has started podcasting its weekly segments. Now if we can only get Fresh Air, This American Life, and the rest of my favorites on board.

Although I won't be popping any corks in celebration, I suppose it's worth mentioning that this is my 200th post here at The Savvy Technologist. The first post, Blogging for learning, was made on September 4, 2003. I don't think it will take as long to get to #400. It's ...

Dan Gillmor spoke at last year's Accelerating Change conference and described some of the changes that the democratization of media has brought to our culture. The podcast of his session, ...
