Lots of great stuff. This set of faves covers the last couple of weeks or so. I wish Anne Archambault was publishing to Flickr, since she’s done some awesome work lately.

I’m not going to write up a summary or wrap-up of the conference. Others have done that better, and faster, than I. But I do just want to throw some thoughts out there on my Open Ed experience.

Documentation of the processes used to build said resource, using freely available applications and services.
We gave ourselves a very [...]

I don’t watch Oprah, but I did tune into this episode yesterday, thanks to the wonders of time-shifting digital TV.
What a load of shyte. Complete and utter mindless [...]

I attended my second Calgary FlickrMeet last night. A bunch of Calgary Flickr members met downtown to hang out, shoot some photos and talk about stuff. Picture a bunch of photo geeks walking around taking a bunch of photos of everything, from every angle
It was fun to see many of my Flickr contacts [...]

Darren wrote up a post to discuss the idea that ad blocking software (like the Adblock Firefox extension I’m running right now) are potentially going to kill the current business model of the Web. That advertising would collapse if we all used Adblock and the like, and that free content (which is at least partially [...]
