This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing.
9-11 Hearings at Audible.com The 9/11 Commission Hearings are available for free at Audible.com. Individual downloads of the testimony of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of State Colin Powell, former National Counterterrorism Coordinator Richard Clarke, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, and others. Of course you won’t hear Condoleezza Rice…
AssortedStuff: It’s The School’s Fault Again While this report sounds like another industry lobbying group trying to scare Congress into giving their companies lots of money, they do make one good point. We don’t do a good job of math and science instruction in this country. Part of the blame for that goes to society [...]
Had the opportunity to take part in a panel at SXSW with Tom Hoffman, Kaye Trammel and Mike Sloan. The panel went well, but the best part was meeting Mike, Kaye (and her husband Mark, oh and Triumph the Dog too.. long story…) and connecting again with Tom Hoffman. Was a nice weekend in Austin. [...]
There is a “no photography or videotaping” policy for the sessions. If I had known, I wouldn’t have lugged my Canon Digital Rebel with me… There is also a $90 fine for using any of the power outlets in the halls or in the session rooms. What do they think we’re going to do, plug [...]
Almost two months without a post although I have been skimming my favorite weblogs via my aggreagator on a daily basis. The new small schools in NYC have just been announced so here’s my explanation of where I’ve been during the past few months. My school proposal was finally approved and we’ll be opening our [...]
SXSW /geekout The folks at SXSW have a page that highlights all the “cool” things they have done this year to make the conference more accessable and frankly just fun. Calendar Apps… For example, if you use calendar applications such as iCal or Mozilla Calendar, you can create personalized calendars of chosen events right from [...]
SXSW /interactive/panels Am in Austin for SXSX (South by Southwest) Today’s panels look very good.

Am now in a session being conducted by Mike Werbach, SXSW /interactive/panels WiFi is just the tip of the [...]
Tom points to a post by a teacher at Lincoln School in Providence. She talks of an inter-connected school/district web site that utilizes RSS and such to make Small Pieces, Loosely Joined… I imagine a network of school websites, or portals, which are independently maintained but are interconnected using RSS feeds. Imagine a school district [...]
I’m making this post from an Alphasmart Dana. It is a small Palm OS powered device with a keyboard and grayscale screen. This particular model has wireless capabilities so I’m giving it a try as a blogging device. The browser that comes with it leaves quite a bit to be desired. The form factor, rechargeable [...]
Joi Ito has learned a lesson from his $3500 GPRS bill: “I think that as broadband becomes a standard part of households, more and more people will fill up their iPods and mobile devices with all the content they need from their flat-fee low-cost pipe. Most content isn’t THAT time sensitive. I don’t see any [...]
SXSW /interactive/panels As Tom Hoffman mentioned, I’ll be on a panel at SXSW along with Tom and Kaye Trammell. The topic is Blogucation 101. The panel is moderated and organzied by Mike Sloan. Am looking forward to visting Austin and seeing Tom again, and meeting Kaye and Mike.
