Saturday, May 31, 2008It worked! Congratulations, the OPML Editor is installed and working on your computer. You're now ready to be part of a new online community that's creating organized knowledge on the World Wide Web. What's more, it worked because I remembered the password - no obvious password recovery here. Monday, April 16, 2007At Erlicher Room at SI listening to Clay Shirky. Thursday, February 15, 2007Second event: MySpace. Time to reconstruct that account. Live blogging today, from the Michigan Library Consortium workshop on social software and gaming. First speaker is Lori Bell talking about Second Life. The presentation at the big screen is stuck on the loading page - bugs in the machine? - and Lori is talking from afar and not from here. I am "George Shiras" there for what it's worth. Frankly I'm waiting for the next generation of this - the user interface needs to be as good as the Wii, not the rickety and big SL world. Good effort, wish it worked better. Now it's working again....for them, not for me. Monday, February 12, 2007Breakfast at Benny's. Two wifi networks from there, one of them open but the signal too weak, the other closed. Waiting for Washtnenaw Wireless to make it out this far. Using AWR to track a2b3. Lots of links back to arborwiki, so it seems. Spent the day in the salt mines. Sunday, February 11, 2007Sure enough, next day service for simple library holds means I can listen to music while the inspiration for checking it out is still in mind. I spent some time at the coffee shop writing twitter-style messages on paper to myself to track what i was thinking about and to keep a running log of the problem-solving task I had going. It was an effective writing style, with each unit of composition only two or three written lines, and I timestamped everything to give it that IM feel. As I was writing, I noted that it seemed like the OPML editor might be a good writing tool for that kind of writing - short entires, no titles, just text, nothing fancy. Keep that in mind. The cafe was playing Brubeck's Take Five. I have a copy of Mad Cat and Kane's harmonica version on my laptop, listening to that now. Requested a copy of the Marian McPartland Piano Jazz interview w/Bruback from the AADL. Four Ann Arbor radio stations move from Clear Channel to Cumulus. The Minuteman library network has good search engine results (google for "mighty street sweeper" and they come above Amazon). for Superpatron Lou blogged about "no knead information architecture"; I need to follow up with "no knead community building" using a2b3 as the example. As seen on the net: "nobody in Ann Arbor knows squat about food"; "anyone who lives in Ann Arbor knows that calling Ameritech can be a long and tedious process"; "as if somebody who lives in South Lyon, but works/plays/?s in Ann Arbor knows anything about the town! "; "Ann Arbor knows movies"; "Ann Arbor knows the Zingerman's story"; "everyone here in Ann Arbor knows who the Crimson Tide is"; and 190 more. Friday, December 22, 2006does this thing still work? yup. Monday, May 01, 2006 |
