The semester is almost over. The pace has slowed down and I need to do something a bit more geeky just to get my grey matter back on track. So, inspired by D’arcy Norman’s reclamation project of his data, I decided to give a whirl to some of the tools he mentioned to see if I could…
Where are you on the social media/content creation ladder?
I am working on a presentation for a class on emerging technology in business. My topic is curation – which is something I hold near and dear to my heart with my museum background and that little old library science degree I have on the wall. In digging into curation on the web, I found…
Funding via Kickstarter

CheerLights
I totally love this idea. Connecting people via social networking AND spreading lovely holiday lights all over the place in sync. Fantastic. Visit CheerLights for the details. And, if you don’t have a strand of the CheerLights (like me), then get the Android App! (I will soon) Maybe I need to learn how to build…
And, boom
Since one of the many nicknames for my dog is Boom-Boom because of how hard she wags her tail against furniture and other objects, I thought this video montage of Steve Jobs was appropriate.
