Links, and what I'm thinking about


I haven't had the chance to blog lately, but here are some bits and pieces to chew on. First, some links:

Friday's episode of On the Media was excellent as usual, but did an especially good job of covering the strange way the 11 PM Eastern network television calling of the election works, cognitive dissonance [...]

Index of my signature blog posts


One of the weird things about blogs is that, as much time as people put into creating interesting and useful content for them, it's rare that anyone goes to the trouble to read back through older entries unless they're really looking for something specific, or are otherwise very committed to the content.
I don't expect that [...]

Blog Indiana 2008 Reflections


This past weekend I attended Blog Indiana 2008, a conference by and for bloggers in the region, which I mentioned here a few months ago. Overall, I would call the event quite a success.

A few new blog interaction features


I've upgraded the Wordpress software powering this blog to a more recent version, and added a few more ways to interact with my posts at the same time:

I'm now using Gravatars - "globally recognized avatars" - to display user-uploaded images next to the comments that people post. This creates a little bit better sense [...]

Right now I'm blogging about Twitter


At the office today, a few of us were discussing Twitter, the website that lets people broadcast mini-updates about their life, thoughts, whereabouts and other news in chunks of 140 characters or less, all the time. People do it through their cell phones and desktop computers, and they do it from home, the car, [...]

Tags, you're it


I'm a nut about organizing stuff just so, and making sure bits of information are connected, interrelated, categorized, and labeled just right.
