Posted on November 7, 2008 by

Apologies for not having written here for a couple of days. After all the excitement of the Halloween Parade and Obama’s amazing win on Tuesday, I just can’t seem to write anything. I’m sure I will be blathering away again soon, rest assured.

Kei Moana sent out news that the Capitol Hill sim in Second Life has installed a cool Twitter visualization tool that lets you see what different people are saying about the two US Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates.  (For those who don’t know, Twitter is a micro-blogging tool that many Second Life residents are enamoured with.)…

Open-sourcing the grantmaking system

Posted on October 3, 2008 by

My buddy Creech (Matthew Saunders) is working on a really neat proposal to the Knight Drupal Initiative to develop an open-source grant-making system using the Drupal CMS.

Sprinting through the Web2.0 Expo

Posted on September 18, 2008 by

I got a last minute opportunity (thanks, In Kenzo!) to check out the exhibition area of the Web2.0 Expo at the Javitz Center today.  Very nerdy, very cool.  I got to see this neat demo of the Microsoft Surface interface, which is really impressive up close.  I ran into several friends including my colleague Rhiannon…
