I just noticed a cool upgrade in Google Sites. You can now embed a Google spreadsheet as a list. This was a much need feature that allows you to edit the spreadsheet within google sites. I wonder how long it has been there? Look for it when you set the properties when embedding a spreadsheet in your page.

I am using Posterous now and thought that I would like to try to post to my blog from Gmail and so here it is. Top 10 things I Don't Have Time to Blog About

1. When people don't respond to your email. What do you do? Did they miss it? Do they hate you?
2. CreateWV Conference has some great tracks on Education.
3. Web 2.0 and elearning. Where are we at right now?
4. Where Marketing and Training come together....

Here it is September and things have really been going great since I
have been working at Mythology Marketing. My one year employment mark
will be in October. Since coming on board I have learned so much about
marketing, strategic planning, and implementation of interactive
marketing plans with all types of organizations. Working for Jeff
James is incredible. If you every want to see what happens ...

The web is a buzz over Google Wave. The platform is an incredible communication tool that if realized will change the way we work, collaborate, and learn. The tool was created by the engineers that brought us Google maps. Take the time to check out the demonstration.



If you watched the video (I know it is long.) you realize immediately how this type of workflow can really improve the productivity o...

I was lucky enough to be invited to participate in a panel on web.20 in Charleston. The event was hosted by the Charleston Area Alliance for the Generation Charleston group. It was a great experience for me to be a panel presenter with a great group of knowledgeable peers. The event focused on web2.0 and use social media for professional networking. The panel details are here....

I think this is interesting. A Twittering coffee machine. Much like my post about controlling your house lighting, it is fun to consider how a world full of twittering objects could make life easier. This coffee pot is connected to a Macbook so I don't think it is cost effective, but the idea of getting a tweet when the coffee is ready, is something I would like.

This MIT student is working on new human to computer interfaces. It is a great presentation.



I think that the impact of how people interact with this type of technology is so interesting. I wonder if you could add the same kind of interactivity between consenting iphones or other devices such as your television.  Pour your playlist from your iphone into your friends?  Or the photos from your camer...

I listened to most of this weeks episode of  TWIT on the way down to the office today on my iPhone.   I didn't listen to it all because I wanted to hear some of the coverage of the President's speech last night.

The panel on the podcast talked about the conversion of television signals from analog to digital that has been the center of national attention for awhile now. Doesn't effect my family di...

So I have a couple of websites that I am trying to get live on the web. One is a community site the other a prototype of a concept that I have in mind. I have a hosting package on DreamHost and was able to use the "One-Click Installs" to load Joomla.  You have to setup a database and a user account for the database. But really that was it.

If you don't know Joomla is an open source content manag...

So I am setting myself up for a big year. I am finalizing a transition to a new job and getting myself organized around the goals that I have set out for myself in 2009. On the personal side I am seeking to find balance in my spiritual, mental, social, and physical components of my life. While, I have some specific things in each of the four areas, in this post I want to share my goals for my focu...

Here is an interesting video of John Chambers, fellow WVU grad, discussing command and control versus collaboration style management. It is very clear that Cisco applies a very sophisticated management style to production and operations. They are now focused on leveraging the power of social networking and collaboration to empower company decisions and planning.

This is a very interesting gadget. The Nokia N97 has a nice wide screen and a full keyboard. The video makes it look to operate smoothly, but that is very hard to tell.

I was trying to create an opportunity to share the main ideas presented in an online conference last month, but the hyperlink to the map doesn't give access. I am going to post it here to see if the community can link through this embedded map to access the content. I also included a couple of other conferences, hoping that maybe someone would share other presentations and key ideas. Be warned,...

Official Gmail Blog: Spice up your inbox with colors and themes

I am not a theme kind of guy, but if you like to jazz up your gmail account here you go.  I guess you might get used to a theme over time, but I find it really hard to have a page that you spend a lot of time on, to be color intensive.  I have gmail on all the time, so I just don't want that much glare during my work day.  I might be i...

I just tried video chat on Google and it was easy and cool. It worked really well. I think this is another important step to improved communication on the web. I really need to get a laptop with an integrated camera and mic. I wonder if this is enough justification to get a new Mac laptop? It will also be interesting to see if you can embed a chat module into other pages like Blogger and Googl...

I added a widget to my blog that would display my Twitter updates. I am not sure exactly who I am sending this information to, but I thought it might be good to bring it all together in one place. We will see. I think that my adhoc approach to tools and widgets on my blog site has not been too supportive for readers, it has been mostly about me trying out new tools. That has really been what my b...

Major in learning

“It’s easy to educate for the routine, and hard to educate for the novel. Keep in mind that many required skills will change: developers today code in something called Python, but when I was in school C was all the rage. The need for reasoning, though, remains constant, so we believe in taking the most challenging courses in core disciplines: math, sciences, humanities.” Google’s ...

As any good member of the Internet community I am working on my first Knol article. It still needs work, but is coming along. It is going to be about the strategy of making blogging part of your learning program. If you have any ideas on the topic, leave a comment here.

It is really interesting that the idea of creating a Knol article has made me take a more structured or formal approach to writing...
