I am a bit saddened by my decision last month to not renew my dotMac account when it expires tomorrow. I have proudly been a mac.com gal for several years – even before they started charging. I was happy to pay at first, the services were worth it. I used the groups..I used the iTools…

Feed the Exploratory Need…finding delight in technology
Alan Levine, in his CogDogBlog (which I find a must-read), once again nails it with what I was thinking as well but couldn’t quite squeeze through my pinhole of a blogger brain! I had the same experience as he did with my Google personalized homepage last week. “Hey! Tabs! Cool! What happens if I click….”…
(C)hell Phones – are they good for us?
So, I read this article on Wired News today and it struck a chord. I am always surprised how folks react when I didn’t have a cell phone. (DISCLAIMER: I now own a Virgin Mobile pay as you go phone that sits in my home office way more than anywhere else. The occasional trip out…
A Whole New Mind – book and attitude
Being fresh from a nice vacation, I do feel as if I have a whole new mind! I also spent my airplane time reading Daniel Pink‘s book A Whole New Mind. It was a great read and I’m not usually into reading business and strategy books. The main thesis really lends itself to my whole…
Brain-cation
Back from an extended vacation which was very much needed and well received by body, mind and soul. Fun was had in Maine in a cabin that had no phone, no internet, and lots of rustic charm. Spent my time with friends and more time outside than I usually do in a month or two….
A Techy-Feely Approach to Photography?
First Impressionism on Flickr – Photo Sharing! I just LOVE this idea. I’ll have to try to recreate some of my favorite paintings as photos. Hmm…now that Munch’s The Scream was recovered, that might be a good one to start with.
International Networks Archive \\ Remapping Our World
I love StumbleUpon..it is one of my favorite Firefox extensions. I usually hit it a few times a weekend just to see what comes up. Today, the International Networks Archive, a project driven by the Princeton University Sociology Department, was on my screen from my click on the StumbleUpon toolbar. I took a dive into…
Oh Yeah – it’s here
It’s finally here! The 1963 MGB sits in the garage and gets taken out for daily romps. If only it would quit raining every afternoon!!!! I’m looking forward to learning more about car mechanics (I’ll have to in order to keep it running!) but from the feely side of things – its a blast to…
Edward Tufte – A Techy-Feely Practitioner
While I didn’t hear this story live, I was glad to find it on the site. I went to Tufte’s workshop last year and was thrilled all day with the experience. Talk about techy-feely!! From the NPR story: They all demonstrate one concept: good design is timeless, while bad design can be a matter of…
Music Meme
This little “thread” is traveling through the edublogosphere and it is summer (as D’arcy says)..so I want to play as well. Plus, it is lists of things. I LOVE that…and I know that is why High Fidelity is one of my favorite movies. So, here goes (for right now – I call rights to change):…
