Here are some reflections, in no particular order. The High Points – Dinner with Brian, D’Arcy and other [...]

Edubloggers Links Feed – Join In!

By sleslie on February 11, 2005

http://groups.blogdigger.com/groups.jsp?id=697 It’s been two months now since I started subscribing to an aggregated feed of FURL and del.icio.us feeds from various EdTech bloggers.

InCommon Shibboleth Federation

By sleslie on February 8, 2005

http://www.incommonfederation.org/ I’ve known about Shibboleth for a few years now, but to be honest haven’t followed it that closely, in part because, as important as issues of authentication and authorization are, they typically bore the *!#$ out of me.

The 10 Most Underreported Humanitarian Crises of 2004

By sleslie on February 7, 2005

http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/publications/reports/ 2005/top10.html This isn’t an educational technology post, but if it has any relevance in that regard it is to keep things in perspective.

Great Post/Article on Metadata (really!)

By sleslie on February 4, 2005

http://www.computer.org/multimedia/mu2004/promo1.pdf Raymond Yee helpfully points out this great article by Dick Bulterman titled “Is it Time for a Metadata Moratorium” from which Raymond extracts this true nugget: “For nontext data – such as video, images, audio, and so on – direct mining is difficult, but exactly at the point that metadata might be useful, manual [...]

Not Bloglines' Problem After All

By sleslie on February 1, 2005

Looks like my earlier post may have been an overreaction (won’t be the first time), but not without productive results.
