    So I have been the proud owner of a cute little iPod thingie for a couple weeks now, and I must make a confession: it’s half-full with music that my friends make. Yeah, I’m listening to a few podcasts, too, and some necessary and crucial items (Grey Album, live Ween and Wilco shows) — but…

    In the interest of adding some context to anything I might write about Education as I experience it, here’s the short list of blogs I read about how technology is affecting education at all levels: Ed-Tech Insider is an intersection of educators, technologists, and administrators all exploring how they can put emerging technology to use…

    …not the Online Journalism class I’m taking next Fall, but this Spring’s Digital Journalism class at NYU: they’ve launched a webzine: This Is Not A Blog. There’s about a dozen short articles, including bits profiling Romenesko and Craig Newmark, some web design ideas, and plenty about blogs. The fun thing for me is to see…

    Steve Sloan, SJSU Tech on a Mission, is starting to brew up A Manifesto for Emerging Technology in Higher Education (my phraseology, not his – but please feel free to use those words). In a post titled On taking back redefining the university, Steve is getting excited about horizontal communication within the University, excited about…

    The You’re It blog is a clearinghouse for all things taxonomic (tagging, tags, tagsonomy, taxonomy, etc.) If you haven’t tried tagging yet – type the word “delicious” in your browser’s URL bar… If that doesn’t work go for del.icio.us. Check it out. Delicious, Technorati, and Flickr are all super-tag-happy. Alexandra Samuel writes in her self-intro…

    Here’s a tough question from Poynter’s E-Media Tidbits Column: Someone goes on a murder/suicide kick on Tuesday morning. Five dead including the killer. A newspaper starts covering the story online. The police haven’t released the suspect’s name yet, so the paper doesn’t print it. A reader thinks she has figured out who the killer is,…

    To all those who have asked me the question, re: blogging, “Is anyone making money at this?” I am not getting paid $100,000 to blog about the Dukes of Hazzard for a year…but Christopher Nelson is. Check out CNN/Money on the subject, as well as Steve Rubel’s post. Couldn’t they just have hired some marketing…

    World Photo Day ended at 5pm Pacific (midnight GMT), but you can still upload an image you captured anytime on June 1st. I pocketed my digital Point & Shoot on the way to the Santa Cruz Farmers’ Market (I fully believe that apostrophe belongs there) and grabbed a few images. I ended up posting this…

    I noticed a few hours ago that my normal Yahoo mail screen (the first thing I see at mail.yahoo.com after logging in) now lists a handful of “Top Stories” or “World” or my choice of one out of a few news categories. I know they’re just catching up with the whole Google Fusion thing (which…
