Web Montag #1 in Cologne
Tim Bonnemann started the idea of a a &ampraquo;Web Montag&amplaquo; ("web monday") in Cologne (on the evening 7th November). Tim is originally from Cologne, but is now living & working near Sillicon Valley. He started a Wiki to organize the event. Originally around 20 people were expected and now there are already more than 50 people planning to attend. Many names I now from the web but haven't yet met in person.

SuprGlu...
For example I have created a SuprGlu page that takes the content I create from this site, from the Lewis Elementary page, from my various Flickr accounts, and from my del.icio.us accounts.... For example I am teaching a class at Pacific University to pre-service teachers and we have been exploring the use of several web services tools including Flickr and del.icio.us.

iPod Steps Up Its Game - Ronald Diemicke, Hoftstra Chronicle
It used to be enough just to have a Walkman to stay entertained. But now, Apple is revolutionizing how idle time is spent. The newest addition to the iPod family enables users to watch videos clearly on its two-and-a-half-inch screen. The big question is, From Techno-News Blog on November 6, 2005 at 12:49 p.m..

Federal report finds greater use of Web - AMAN BATHEJA, Dallas Fort Worth STAR-TELEGRAM
When Devin Pike and his childhood friend Marty Yawnick first launched Web sites in the 1990s, the Internet was a very different place.

Phenomenological ethics
Phenomenological ethics Now that I have a scanner with a document feeder (a Canon MP780 multifunctional printer, which so far I like a lot) and now that I've stumbled across a stack of old philosophy papers, I've scanned in another one: Phenomenological Ethics (pdf). I wrote it in 1984 and never got it published. It was going to be my Big Idea, the one that you use to market yourself, fighting off all objections, giving no ground, and engaging in other academic truth-repellant behaviors. But then I didn't get tenure (the quota was filled), got a job as a marketing... From Joho the Blog on November 6, 2005 at 12:47 p.m..

Finding the humans
My old friend Paul English makes it onto the front page of The Boston Globe today (yeah, I know we're not supposed to care any more) for a service on his site: He lists how you break through the phone automation to reach the human operators at 100+ companies. (To me the real news is that Paul is 42. Forty two! And not in any "the meaning of life" way. Wasn't he just 28? And when Doc writes "It's November, dammit. Wasn't it just March or someting?," I want to reply: "November's not a problem, Doc. 2005 is a problem.... From Joho the Blog on November 6, 2005 at 12:47 p.m..

Connective Writing
First, let me just say that the recent discussion here regarding the types of writing we do in blogs just reminds me of how potentially powerful this tool can be. It's one of the big reasons that I do this: I learn from it. When people are moved enough by an idea to compose the types of responses reflected in that thread, it's pretty inspiring, and I get my own thinking pushed and stretched. Even in cases where people pretty much tell me I'm out to lunch. And so, for instance, when weblogged News on November 6, 2005 at 12:46 p.m..
