Sony PSP 2000 – Part Two
Wednesday, April 30th, 2008If you watched the video clip from yesterday’s post, you heard “The future in your hands” and “mind blowing” applied to the Playsation portable. The PSP has been on the market for almost three years, and millions of units have been sold. Still, most people (myself included) probably think of it as a device meant [...]
Sony PSP 2000 – Part One
Tuesday, April 29th, 2008I purchased a Playstation Portable 2000 a couple of months ago, not long after I bought my Sony PS3. I bought the PSP because of certain connectivity features with the PS3, and I must admit is is amazing, and I’m using it much more than I thought I would. I;m going to post my impressions [...]
Why I’m Not Purchasing a Nikon D300
Monday, April 21st, 2008I’ve really been burnt out on tech the past week or so. When it gets to the point that writing a post for this blog and recording my podcast becomes a chore, it’s time for a break. In addition there’s a ton of stuff on my plate at SCOCA. So, here’s a photo/video post. I [...]
flickr Does Video
Tuesday, April 15th, 2008After enduring controversy when the geotagging features were changed, flickr endured more criticism by allowing video uploads to the site beginning last week. The move was expected, but there have been thousands of complaints from users. Many have complained that the move to video will lower the high standards of the quality of the flickr [...]
IBM Racetrack Memory
Friday, April 11th, 2008I heard this story this afternoon on BBC World News Radio. Racetrack Memory provides about 100 times the storage of say, an mp3 player, in the same space. It’s cheaper, and much less expensive than flash memory. I certainly won’t miss my mechanical, hot, expensive to run hard drives. Solid state can’t get here soon [...]
fastcgi for IIS
Thursday, April 10th, 2008I try to maintain my own professional development by reading technical books as well as visiting various web sites to stay up to date on the technology I use. I don’t know how I missed the fact of the fastcgi module being available for WIndows IIS web servers. Let me backtrack a bit. Installing PHP [...]

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008This is another good conversation, not only about why blogging is valuable in schools, but why RSS is important to start getting staff and students reading blogs. My thanks to the great panel: Peggy Whyte, John Schinker, Alvin Trusty, and Ryan Collins. Show #3 – Blogging [tags]blog, rss[/tags]
Podcast Notes
Monday, April 7th, 2008I was sick last night and didn’t work today. I’m just now feeling a bit better and finally have started to edit the third show of The Web Edtech Podcast. Tonight I imported the podcast track into Sony Vegas and setup my audio plugins. I’ll also record my voiceover for the beginning of the show. [...]
Charlton Heston
Sunday, April 6th, 2008This past week turned out to be very busy for me, and that’s why I haven’t updated this blog or published the podcast that was recorded last Tuesday. When I read of the death of Charlton Heston, I hesitated to post anything about it on the blog, but I can’t ignore the fact that he [...]
