A showcase of selected Pachyderm presentations has been assembled, showing several completely different types of content being presented using the Pachyderm 2.0 authoring software. Some really good stuff in there - I'm drawn for some reason to the second item on the list... If you're looking for some ideas of what can be done in Pachyderm... »
The groundbreaking ceremony for the new Campus Calgary Digital Library building was held this morning. Judging from the attendance, lots of people are interested in the project, or the free cake. It's going to be much more effective, having all library-related, and supporting services in one building. The Teaching & Learning Centre (nee Learning... »
I'll be giving an "Intro to Podcasting" workshop/presentation/session on Wednesday April 19th here at the Learning Commons Teaching & Learning Centre. I've only got an hour, and it will be an "intro" session, so I'll follow Levine's Law and start with the demo. Then, I'll stick with the demo, showing different tools used to... »

Here's a sample of a quick search to find any posts in any of my feeds which have been published since yesterday, and contain the word "podcasting": Now that's just... »
I just went through my email inbox and nuked over 4500 messages. All since January 2005. Anything important is either archived as a project file, or available through the magical wondrousnes of The Goog. I'd been letting messages just stay in my inbox, using Spotlight and Smart Folders to find stuff easily, but over the... »
Our fancy schmancy new Power Mac Quad G5 boxes were released to us this morning. 20" Cinema Displays, too. These bad boys have 4 x 2.5GHz G5 cores, adding up to 10GHz of raw power under the hood. Sure, there's some overhead in spreading stuff over the different chips, and some software won't take... »
I'm trying to quickly check in from home, but the browser on my home machine is acting up and refusing to access websites. I guess that's forgivable - I'm still running my (otherwise) trusty old PowerMacintosh 8600/300 running MacOS 9.1.
