Meredith Sue Willis Fiesta!
Merry Willis, my sister-in-law the writer, has had a bunch of writing published recently. You can read "The Story of Scheherezade and Dunzyad" in The Pedestal Magazine here. How can you go wrong with a story that begins "Except for the eunuchs..."? It's a terrific read...sort of Scheherezade fan-fiction. And the American Book Review gives Merry's Dwight's House and Other Stories a very positive review. That book and her new sf novel, The City Built of Starships, are both finalists for Foreward Magazine's Book-of-the-Year award. Go Meredith Sue!

Booker Rising
Booker Rising describes itself as a "News site for black moderates and black conservatives." It aggregates news stories through that filter and comments on them briefly. In my poking around, it seemed pretty fair, and I'm finding stories there that I'd otherwise miss. (Thanks to Joe Gandelman at The Moderate Voice.)

Powerful MP3 tag editor
I'm trying to whip my collection of MP3s into basic shape so that I can find them via the rather limited UI of my Creative Nomad Not-an-iPod Zen player. (Oy, so now I'm taxonomizing on the weekends!) And The Godfather has turned out to be really helpful. It's overly-featured from my point of view, but I have minimal needs. And it sure seems to do the job. Want to tag all the tracks in your Bach directory as artist="Bach, JS" and rename them using a "Composer - Album - Track" format? This is the tool for you. (Well, I actually...

A Weblog Webliography
(via Stephen Downes) Mercy. I think we're getting somewhere. Here is a list of almost 200 blogging in education related articles as listed at Kairosnews. I think I've only read about a quarter of what's there (a fact I'll probably not divulge to my wife and kids.) As Stephen says, it's hard to believe the scope of the writing on the subject.

The Sigil Begins
I'm just finishing up the final edits on my next book, "Get Back in the Box," and a lot of you have been asking me what the heck it's about. While I'm still in no state to explain it in easy bites (that usually requires a few talks or interviews about it, as well as a read through) Kris Krug insisted on interviewing me about it, so here's a link to his site.

Students Swapping Blog Stories
So I was walking around the Kid Tech room yesterday after we had set up our little blogvangelism table and lo and behold what do I see? Another blogging in the classroom display! This one by a group of elementary school kids in Oxford, NJ who have been reading books and having online conversations about them with kids in other classrooms and the authors. How cool is that? Turns out that their teacher attended a mini blog workshop I gave there last summer, and she just ran with the idea. The best part was that she had about half a dozen bloggers working the crowd including one girl who they had From weblogged News on April 23, 2005 at 1:45 p.m..
