I just finished a bout of self-flagellation in response to my recent lack of blog production. I'm feeling much better now, thank you.
I'm out in sunny L.A. helping with a little podcasting project at the American Council on Education's 88th Annual Meeting. I'm doing a little recording and editing, but ...

Geeky: dl.tv with Patrick Norton and Robert Herron for the latest ...

I've had a number of requests to share the slides from my recent Podcasting 101 presentation at the TIES Conference. Here they are in PDF format (3.7 MB). As I posted previously, there isn't much text on the slides so they probably won't make much sense on their own. Thanks ...

A friend and fellow U. of MN grad student pointed me to an article in Wired called Podcast Chaos Be Gone which brought me to Podzinger, an online service that scans audio podcasts and uses speech recognition technology to create transcripts.
I submitted the Savvy Technologist Podcast recently and was ...

Steve Burt and I sat down for a chat last month at the NSBA conference in Denver. We discussed the conference and got off on a smartboard tangent for a while. You can find this episode of Ed Tech Coast to Coast at edtechcoasttocoast.com. I'm not going to publish them ...

I popped over to the U. of Minnesota today for a teleconference about podcasting in the classroom. Long-time readers may recall that I posted last year about the U.'s UThink blogging system that provides a free blog for every student and staff member. They've upgraded the system to support podcasting ...

I wasn't home when the FedEx guy stopped by today, so I'll have to give him a hug next time I see him. Fortunately he dropped off my new microphone at my neighbor's house and I got to unpack it tonight and try it out.
