I have been brewing more and more lately. The basics are firm, but I am still learning and finding new resources. Just spotted this great calculator on powersbrewery.home.comcast.net

I was just talking to Karen about the podcasting and transcripts. Made me think about how much can be said in 45 minutes. Also made me question the frequency of the words that I use. So, we ran the thing though wordle. Here are the top 50 words from my presentation: Results: Unsurprisingly, “video” was […]

Everytime that I reload the forecast for today seems to change – swinging wildly between 25 to 45 degrees. Here it shows a current temp outside the range. WTF? You think that the programmers would have accounted for that. if (current > forecast) then updateForecast();

The table below lists the presentations (almost 30 31 hours of audio) that were recorded. For now the audio is password protected. Once transcripts are […]

We have lost one of the pivotal authors from my childhood. I remember reading Juristic Park, on a camping trip with my parents. I was 10. The book had a big impact and influenced my career choices – not towards paleontology (as you might be thinking), but towards math/computers. You see, the coolest person in […]

Just received the audience feedback from my 2008 HighEdWeb presentation and wanted to share. I thank everyone who attended. Got to love that last comment :) Evaluation Summary Averages Conference Track Session Evaluations 2611 551 74 Informed 6.33 +/- 0.90 6.60 +/- 0.66 6.78 +/- 0.53 Delivery 5.85 +/- 1.19 6.16 +/- 0.97 6.50 +/- […]

Take a look at the two screen captures below. Both are from the same parking services page. The first is in FireFox 3, the second is in IE 7. JavaScript is being used to change to HREF attribute of mailto links for @pcc.edu addresses. But, why is the inner HTML also changing when viewed in […]
