Below, we have a clip from HBO’s excellent mini series “John Adams,” [...]

Al Franken Draws America

Al Franken, the former SNL comedian, the Harvard graduate, and now US Senator, has a special talent. He can draw the map of America, state-by-state, while chatting up a crowd. Almost makes me feel the 4th of July spirit… Thanks for Eric for this one. Share:

Hey Mary, that is interesting. I'm surprised they don't support open source applications considering many of their web server software is probably open source (ie. linux). I'm pretty excited about our new blogging, website, and podcasting system w...

Facebook To Open Source Facebook Platform

TechCrunch, a reputable technology blog, reports that "Sometime soon, perhaps this week, Facebook will turn the year-old Facebook Platform into an open source project, multiple sources have told us.

I'm Presenting at the 2009 Sloan-C/Moodle Moot Conference

Just a quick update to let you know that I am presenting at the Sloan-C/MoodleMoot 2009 Conference in San Francisco, CA. I am in San Francisco right now and enjoying the area. This is my first time in California. It's a bit chillier than I thought it would be ( high 60's) compared to Ohio (80's).
