Today I used Jing to make a help movie. The Jing tool from Techsmith is a very handy, quick tool to make screencaptures. The benefits are: it is free (limited to 5 minute movies), you can share the movie with others or embed it somewhere. It is amazingly simple. The installation is easy. After the installation a small 'sun' will be put on the desktop. That 'sun' gives you access to the controls of Jing. The controls are simple: capture, history and more. The capture ...

Suns are whoopin' up on the Spurs and I need to finish watching the game.

Uta and I spent the afternoon at a friend’s private vineyard over the hill and to the east of our place in Berkeley. The sun was shining, row upon row of vines held clusters of purple grapes, you might get a whiff of rosemary from the breeze, and my senses told me I was in Burgundy or Provence. Mind you, three or four years ago, this was a typical Northern California hillside, a tinderbox of brown, dry grass.  These bountiful vines weren’t grown from seed. The tastes, the ambiance, the conversations, wow, it doesn’t get much better than this. Eat ...

MIT World has reworked their service, and all the video is now converted to Flash. Yea! This means all their videos run smoother, quicker and don't required one to use Real Video. In addition, MIT has brought online a new user interface that makes it easier to explore content and learn new ideas. However, as today is Thanksgiving in America, I will review some lighter fare from MIT: Where the Sun Shines, There They Hack Take a few minutes and learn how MIT took over the Rose Bowl scoreboard to announce they were beating CalTech (neither school even has a football team!).

Well I actually got to go away this weekend camping. Yeah!!! One final hurrah of the summer and so thankfully the last long weekend of the summer was full of heat and sun.

Monday was my first day back to work after almost three months. I put in a nice five hour effort, appearing on site at our new office space. Citrus colored walls, big windows that let the sun pour in. Not too bad. So. What have I been doing all that time? Enjoying the best summer vacation/maternity leave of my life. My husband is a stay-at-home-dad, so we had the benefit of two parents home all summer with the kids. And a completely mellow baby, who appears to be a good sleeper. The way it should be! I did this: A lot of this: Some pleasure ...

The future of higher education is online. Unfortunately, many faculty and administrators can't see the tidal wave of online learning that is approaching but it is approaching. The cost of higher education is untenable in its current form. Just like manufacturing was 20 years ago, same with financial institutions, insurance...those industries were changed forever by technology...higher education is next. It will be stripped to the bare bones before too long. As Scott McNealy, Chairman of Sun stated: Technology has to play a huge role in education. (It's) changed ...
