Odeo

October 20, 2006

HA! I’m still posting. Actually, this post is more of an experiment to see if I can finally get an Odeo player to properly appear in my blog. I’ve had so much trouble with that before.
Well, here goes…

Reflections

October 12, 2006

Wow, I’m finally on the 23rd thing. What a deal!
Okay, on with the reflections:
Favorite Discoveries
My favorite discoveries would have to include the online applications and the wikis. I’m no workaholic, but I do appreciate a useful tool when one comes along. Wikis on the whole are (IMHO) still very experimental, but are probably an [...]

NetLibrary and Downloadable Audio

October 11, 2006

Conceptually, I really like NetLibrary’s attempt to take advantage of the existing technology and make all this great material available in new ways. In practice, the whole endeavor could be a bit more refined, IMHO.
However, I really do like audio books, and the ability to download them is really the logical option these days, especially [...]

Podcasts

October 11, 2006

I used PodcastAlley for my searching, and found it fairly easy to use (though a tad messy).  The category breakdown was easy to navigate through, and the review snippets are pretty useful.
The podcast I discovered there is The Animation Podcast.  I was actually looking in the broader Film category, and just had to check it [...]

YouTube Exercise

October 11, 2006

I’ve been trying to avoid getting addicted to YouTube, but now that I’ve started this exercise .. no, wait. Now that I’ve discovered the Chad Vader series, I think there’s no use in trying to avoid it any longer.
Click here (or above) to see episode 4. (I’m having trouble with the HTML editor on my [...]

Discovering Web 2.0

October 11, 2006

Ahh… autumn.
Anyway, on with the blog post. This exercise has us exploring the different sites on the Seomoz.org Web2.0 page for something interesting/fun to play with and blog about. Unfortunately, nearly everything I click on is either down or not interesting enough for me (I have high standards when it comes to fun web toys). [...]

Web Apps

October 11, 2006

I’ve been using web apps like zoho writer, writely, and others for a fair while now, and they’ve really come in quite handy on several occasions.  Incidentally, if you haven’t yet, I’d suggest taking a look at all the other apps out at zoho.com.  In addition to the Writer, there’s a spreadsheet program (like Excel), [...]

PBWiki and Beer Cheese Soup

October 11, 2006

Well, I haven’t had much opportunity or time to do a lot of playing around with wikis lately, though there’s plenty of that coming up for me in the next couple of weeks. So, I was happy to finally mess around with the PLCMCwiki at pbwiki in this exercise.
I’d created a pbwiki account about a [...]
