LLA* from Bad Fortune Cookie sent me a lovely tiara for my birthday. I have no idea if I’m wearing it correctly–not being a beauty queen in real life, but for what it’s worth, here I am. The card that came with it was funny. It had two little girls with purses on the front…
In my little corner of the blogosphere, we haven’t had this conversation in a while. You know, the “where are the women” conversation. Partly that’s because many of the blogs I read are by women, and the men I read seem to be pretty much aware that there are women bloggers out there and that…
For a post on women and technology. It’s on the brain. Feel free to add your questions and comments, etc. and I’ll address them. Tags: women, technology Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure
Hold onto your hats. Ironically, there’s no mention of the DMCA in the suit. YouTube already took down thousands of “unauthorized” videos. There’s an excellent discussion of the suit here. There’s some speculation that the suit has been brought simply because YouTube has been so successful. It’s by no means the only video sharing site…
Several of you had mentioned having trouble viewing my feed when I went to the new blogger. I’ve had a feedburner feed for a long time. Now, I’m officially switching over. It’d be great if everyone could subscribe to that feed by clicking the link in the sidebar or below. Subscribe in a reader Please…
Doing my project 365 has been more challenging than I thought. Often, I get to the end of a day and realize I haven’t taken a single picture. When I think back over the day, I don’t think of great photo opportunities I’ve missed. Partly that’s because I tend to go to work, sit at…
I wasn’t going to write about this anymore, but I can’t help myself. Yesterday, the Subcommittee on Courts, the Internet, and Intellectual Property held a hearing on the issue of downloading on college campuses. Congressman Howard Berman suggests that colleges aren’t really doing enough to combat piracy. He claims colleges are hypocrites, saying: Perhaps the…
Ironically, after my last post, I started doing some searching to see what else was going on with this recent RIAA crackdown and I found out that Gizmodo has declared a boycott. They did not suggest the boycott in order to increase downloads or condone illegal downloads, but to point out that you can buy…
The RIAA is increasing its efforts to stop downloading on college campuses. Their new strategy involves sending out settlement letters to students. The letters, presumably, will be more threatening than the current takedown notices they send out regularly. I happen to be our campus DMCA agent. I’m the one who receives those takedown notices and…
Steve over at Pedablogy continues the conversation about how much faculty should or shouldn’t learn about the technology they use in their teaching. He mostly agrees with me (I’ll get to the disagreements in a moment). One point he makes bears unpacking a bit: On the other hand, Iām not an IT professional and it…
