And He Blogs

This tale is brought to you by Bluehost, or rather the lack thereof. My account was down yesterday for about 12 hours. I have no illusions that anybody even noticed, but for me it was frustrating because I had a post brewing and I couldn’t write it. Now why couldn’t I write it and post [...]

Word is getting around that YouTube is in HD and some videos have the “Watch in HD” link allowing viewers to see the Hi Def version. No official word from Google/YouTube yet. Maybe they don’t want a bandwidth surge? Who knows.
Anyway, using footage that I shot from the beginning of the semester, here is my [...]

Fellow Virginian and IT person David Carter-Tod wrote a post that was spot-on about setting a tone for customer service at a Comcast office. It’s the kind of post that maybe we all imagine writing while we’re standing in line thinking about how things work, or don’t. Well, as you can see, David wrote, [...]

So we’re nine days on in the era of Edupunk, and it appears things are perhaps calming down, but not before some rather intense discussions, conversations and kicking over some garbage cans. Let’s see there’s Jim’s original post, the comments, the definition, the critique, the defense, the “narcissism”, the Wikipedia article, the other article (and [...]

I haven’t had a lot of time to watch much hockey this season. Honestly, if I can’t watch the games in high-definition, there’s even less motivation to watch. Also, the “real hockey season” (the playoffs) is fast approaching, and with the announcement of more HD channels from my local cable supplier, I will be taking [...]

OK. In my last post, my first of 2008, I lied. It was parenthetical, but still a lie. Well at least it was an implied lie that I was in a "blogging funk" and that my post was going to cure that. Neither was true. In fact it is much closer to the truth that [...]

 
This is short, but it’s a stunner. Done entirely with computer graphics, watch Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterpiece Falling Water come alive. Thanks Apollo Pony!
UPDATE! The good news is that there is a DivX version. The bad news is that the video has exceeded their bandwidth.

And it’s kind of sad, ’cause I had a great time. Let me tell you, Indianapolis was a big surprise in a good way. Facilities were classy, and the city was cool in lots of ways. Oh and did I tell you we had a great time?
Lots to blog about, but I’ve had 3 1/2 [...]

There’s an interesting article in the Times today about the “coverage” of the Virginia Tech shootings on Wikipedia. You know, Wikipedia is the one that is so easy to bash for its inaccuracies. Well, read the article and you decide, but there is a great quote in the Times article from a 22-year-old student from [...]
