Crap. After listening to Leo and gang talk in net@night 101 about landing pages, fresh “what i’m doing” widgets and the virtues of a new website system called Square Space, I realized that they were right and I needed to do something to beat back the barrage of words on the front page of my [...]
Just Say “NO!” To Landing Pages!
June 6, 2009 By Leave a Comment
Do you remember the static Welcome pages that were popular in the early days of the web. Just a smiling face and the word “Welcome” in giant type. Then you had to click somewhere to get to where you wanted to go on the site. Fortunately Welcome pages went away, along with frames and irritating [...]
Palm Pre Launch… So What (UPDATED)
June 6, 2009 By 2 Comments
If it weren’t for the tech media to stir up the hype, the launch of the Palm Pre would probably go unnoticed. Of maybe more truthfully, even with the hype it’s going unnoticed. Sad. UPDATE: Just when it was safe to ignore the little device, the nicest tech-journalist, Leo Laport, unplugged the ongoing “Gilmore Gang” [...]
My Year with the OLPC – NR4PT
December 25, 2008 By Leave a Comment
Around this time last year I was very excited to receive my OLPC (One Laptop per Child), called the XO-1. Having drunk the Negroponte gatorade I was endlessly frustrated with Dvorak and other tech journalists who kept their criticism of the XO-1 focused on either Negroponte’s eccentricities or the fact that the creators made it [...]

Laporte says that he wants to claim the Internet video space somewhere between life-cast shows like the one produced [...]
Happy 10th Birthday, iMac
May 7, 2008 By Leave a Comment
I’m not sure how this works out, but according to Leo Laporte and the boys at MacBreak Weekly, the iMac turned 10-years-old this week. The reason I’m wondering at the timing was because I thought that the introduction of the iMac was at MacWorld… was this one of those East Coast MacWorld’s held during the [...]

We Few Tech-Pioneers
March 10, 2008 By Leave a Comment
Tech-buddy, Greg text-messaged me today complaining that our favorite podcast empire, TWIT, is all about the toys and business of tech but has nothing in the education space. I offered my usual snotty response: “Well, ED tends to act like a walled garden, I’m probably the only one I know to twitter DURING class.” To [...]
