Here's an infographic on me and my tweeting profile based on my Twitter data , provided to the infographic service visual.ly. I'm not sure I agree with the topics listing at the end — what, no "food porn"? And I could hardly be called a "shopper." But otherwise, kind of interesting. You can generate your…

My New Gig at…. wait for it… the California Academy of Sciences!
So I've been waiting to tell people this news because frankly I'm not sure I believe it's actually happened. I'm now working at the California Academy of Sciences as a program assistant in their new Digital Learning Program. It's kind of a dream come true for a geek like me. I will share more details as…

Collect, Curate, and Share Images and Links with Pinterest
I've been playing around with a new web service called Pinterest that bills itself as a place to "organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web." That sounds suspiciously like a lot of other web services out there, like Delicious, wikis, tumblr, etc. What makes Pinterest stand out is the way…
Create an Infographic-y Online Work Resume on Re.vu

If your work is dynamic, visual, and ever-changing, a printed black-and-white summary of your professional qualifications won't really capture that. Re.vu is a new web service that allows anyone to create a beautiful, visually-rich, online resume of your…

Moving My Domains from Godaddy on December 29 for “Move Your Domain Day”
I probably should have done this a long time ago, but on December 29 I'm moving my web domains from the domain name registrar Godaddy.com to another service. I probably should have done it awhile ago. Godaddy has tacky, sexist advertising. The CEO enjoys killing elephant for sport. And finally earlier this month, they announced…
My Updated Work Portfolio: Virtual Fossil Digs, Kofi Annan, and Lindy Hop, oh my!
I updated my Work Portfolio to make it easier for people to see my most recent professional accomplishments in one place. Like this blog (and my life!), it covers a wide range of projects and disciplines, from virtual worlds to public speaking. And there's of course a lot I didn't include, since I've had such…
