Random Notes

Beth is back blogging at a new locale. Those of you who were at Gnomedex last year know who Beth is, since she spoke. The rest of you will just have to go this year and meet her. (Thanks to Doc for the pointer.)

Speaking of Gnomedex 3, I also see where Scoble’s going to be there this year. He’s been stirring up a bunch of really interesting techie/business stuff over on his blog lately, you should be reading it. I’m still holding out some hope that I’ll make it to Iowa this year, and I’ll get to sit and talk to Robert about some of his ideas. 🙂

Karlin Lillington agrees with me:

“Hmmmm, well, whatever about Google News, it seems to me that a lot of newspapers, magazines, radio and television stations also routinely publish/broadcast items that are basically just rewritten, unquestioned press releases and government statements, which also aren’t clearly distinguished from ‘actual’ news articles…”

Exactly! (link snagged from Dave Winer)

Ok, gotta run, lots of things on my plate today, so I better get to it!

    Turns out we had no internet connection the entire time we were in Gatlinburg. Sorry for the lack of updates, but I’ll be sure to get up to speed quickly, I hope. We had a great time, and got some really beautiful pictures from our hike in the Smoky Mountains on Sunday. They will be…

    I mean I knew that you could use Bloglines as a way to subscribe to feeds without downloading any software, and a way to check them from anywhere. But what I didn’t know is that you can browse around their site and look at what other people are subscribed to. I think I’m going to…

    Jenny pointed me in the direction of kunekt, which will take your contact information and make an RSS or RDF file out of it. So you can use your favorite aggregator and subscribe to folks contact information. Sort of like collecting business cards, but I can keep the information completely updated for you. That’s fairly…

  • The end of IT Departments?

    Read. Discuss… My thoughts? It’s an obvious case. There are simply too many different technologies at play to have an expert on staff for each of them. For example, where I work, I consider myself an “expert” when it comes to desktops, our memberships database, Access, end-user support and training, SOHO networking, etc. I’m not…
