Well, my presentation on web 2.0 technologies for blogging is finally coming together. I'm using google presentation to house the presentation and I'll publish it out on the web when finished.I've sent the presentation off to my co-presenter for her part and review. I've got to do a little bit of work over the next couple of weeks to tidy up the blog and other examples, so that they will be great for the presentation.

So, I've been trying to figure out if I want to move to wordpress.com or use wordpress.org on my domain, or do something entirely different (I'm running drupal on my domain). Occasionally, I have considered moving over to wordpress.com as well... I like wordpress. It's not so much that I hate blogger, it's ok, but I've been wanting to do something with all of my baby* blogs for a long while. Anyhow, back when I created the baby* blogs, blogger didn't offer labels or categories (well, they still don't offer true categories). Wordpress.com wasn't available.

(pardons to suicidal tendancies...)So, I posted a couple of workarounds/fixes I discovered about blogger to the blogger google groups. I guess someone didn't like them, because they magically disappeared. No email, no post back (hey, that's a stupid idea, or that's been posted a million times before [even if I couldn't find it in searching], no you posted too many times in a day), no nothing.

An interesting article on how college students use technology (alot but using specific tools for specific tasks; with 98.4 % of surveyed students owning some type of computer...)

Instead, students appear to segment different modes of communication for different purposes. E-mail, Web sites, message boards and Blackboard? Viable ways of connecting with professors and peers. Same for chat, instant messaging, Facebook and text messages?
