Reverend Jim T-shirt
Posted by Andy Rush on 18 May 2007 | Tagged as: Technology, fa07
In case you didn’t see it, Jim Groom, our resident evangelical instructional technologist, has got his own t-shirt now. Honestly, as if he needs more exposure. Anyway, if you look carefully at the picture (particularly the area within the red square), you’ll see what we’re really thinking of Jim when he’s going on about something . . .
Seriously, Jim was on fire at Faculty Academy and Student Academy (where the photo was taken - Thanks to Chip German) this year, and that energy had to captured somehow. Why not on 100% cotton!
Wherefore Art Thou Twitter?

Faculty Academy 2007
Posted by Andy Rush on 15 May 2007 | Tagged as: fa07
I’m giddy with excitement in anticipation of the 2007 edition of Faculty Academy. We’ve got some great speakers including Karen Stephenson, Barbara Ganley, and Alan Levine. We’ll hear about Blogs and Wikis (natch), but also you’ll hear terms that are new to you like Twitter, Mini-Tube, and Mashups! All the relevant details are at the Faculty Academy website. We look forward to seeing you all there.
TwitBin - Just Works

Tweet, Tweet! In Twitter talk that means I approve. TwitBin is a Firefox extension that adds a sidebar with your latest “tweets.” Install it, configure it, and you’ll see recent postings plus a field to add your own tweets. Ctrl+Shift+m will show and hide the TwitBin sidebar. Very handy, and it just works.
Dell Getting All Linuxy

I grabbed the above photo before they took it down. According to their “Direct2Dell” site, Ubuntu Linux is coming pre-installed to a Dell near you. Ubuntu is a flavor of Linux that just might be at the tipping point to provide a serious alternative to PC or Mac. And, of course, it’s free to download and install.
