Luke Waltzer, of cac.ophony fame, has done a nice job blogging some of the highlights from the CUNY IT conference on December 1st.

Published by December 7th, 2006 in WordPress. 3 CommentsCasey Bisson from Plymouth State University in New Hampshire has quite an interesting project he will be working on shortly, namely marrying the Library of Congress Catalog to WordPress! He plans on developing out WP-OPAC, or an online catalog for libraries using WordPress. He was recently awarded a Mellon Foundation grant, and I imagine [...]

The Ontario Science Center’s “RedShift Now”
Published by November 15th, 2006 in WordPress and video. 2 CommentsI have so much to blog about these days that I am a bit overwhelmed.

I have [...]
Doing things with English 101, or Virtual Learning Spaces in Action!
Published by November 3rd, 2006 in WordPress. 12 CommentsSteve Greenlaw, of Pedablogy fame, noted a while back that the posts on bavatuesdays have been more like reading cuneiform on a tablet (notice the equation of ancient communication with the tablet) than a resource for teaching and learning.

Both of these developments are really exciting for many reasons, but I am going to take a minute here about bbpress [...]
At Faculty Academy 2006 last Spring, Rachel Smith gave an excellent presentation on Pachyderm. Pachyderm is …

Thanks go to Dmitry Dulepov for bringing Andreas Viklund’s opens source templates to Typo3 (currently typo3 has extensions for Andreas01 & andreas09). I have been playing with andreas01 here if you want to take a look (it is still a bit buggy in IE -but, hey, what isn’t?). Additionally, if you are looking for more [...]
I recently returned to an online exhibit I had worked on last Spring with John Pearce’s Museum lab class. Link. The site was running on Typo3 version 3.8, and I spent some time a few weeks ago updating it to the latest version (4.0.2). (By the way, I tried the fantastico upgrade shortcut which [...]
I just found a great Coca-Cola commerical parodying Grand Theft Auto on digg. The commerical is hosted on google videos, so I went searching for a solution to embed it in a post of a WordPress blog I recently setup for Dr. Carole Ann Creque’s Marketing 310 class (they are currently discussing the [...]
