San Diego, the Digital Clinical Chart Project (at last), and Psychic Monkey

Just checking in while on vacation here in sunny San Diego.  Came without PLSS (he had to work).  While my son is at tennis camp I’m doing some volunteer work at UCSD branch of the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2 – http://www.calit2.net/index.php) where the students and faculty do really cool things.  If you are into [...]

What?

Okay, let’s sit back and ponder this development for a bit. From The Guardian: “Das Wikipedia- online resource goes into print” “Due to hit the shelves in September, a published encyclopedia of German Wikipedia entries, the first of its kind, will list in a single volume the 50,000 most commonly searched terms on the German [...]

The iPhone, the Kindle, and the rest of the world

Had an interesting conversation recently on a listserv I belong to. (Yes, Ari, my primary social networking platform is listservs — still where a lot of us “engage a small community around ideas…that mattter.”) There was a lot of discussion about the Kindle, e-books, the iPhone and its apps — and I couldn’t resist pointing [...]

Community on the web – whuzzat?

“Community” is one of the web’s most popular buzz words. Ten years ago, we all knew that community on the internet referred to message boards, those (sometimes) sophisticated descendents of computer bulletin boards or listservs. It seemed inconceivable that a wealth of message board networks would not soon take over the internet. As it happens, [...]

Web 1.0 minds learning in a web 2.0 world, slowly, slowly

In our case, these tend to be excellent educators, but not necessarily web-savvy or technologically driven people. Two years ago, in fact, there was nothing in the curriculum that dealt with the web, despite the fact that we [...]

Just because – Dancing 2008

Feeling down?  Feeling pretty good? Sometimes the power of good web content is to remind you that life is to be lived.  A colleague (thanks Judy) sent me this today.  Click Dancing 2008 and just watch it. http://wherethehellismatt.com/?fbid=BzJhpS

MCN Membership – Who We Are (Part II)

Last time, we took a look at where MCN members were around the globe.  But who are these people?  Well, I can’t tell you everything, but here’s what I do know: First, I went through the list and indicated everyone’s gender as best I could.  Fortunately many people had added a Mr. or Ms., etc. [...]

Readius: Back to the Scroll?

Further proof that there’s nothing new under the sun, all things go full circle, etc. etc. The latest iteration of e-paper technology just announced: the Readius pocket-sized mini-Kindle with roll-out flexible screen. “The screen looks just like a liquid crystal display, but can bend so flexibly that it can wrap around a finger.” A pocket-sized [...]

Why wasn’t this in the program?

via If I had known that this was part of the program at AAM05 in Indianapolis, I totally would have gone. I go to AAM most years, and the year I don’t, I totally miss out! *sulks*
