Blogpoly: From Monopoly to Blogpoly

“It is just a game. It is fun to use the board to lay out the Blogosphere Ecosystem. It helps me to think and learn about blogging culture by transforming the original game into this version. I had to think about which company and enterprise to choose and set up first on the board. The space is limited, so I picked well known names in blogging industry. Besides the private properties, there are two public utilities--the water works and the electric company. Then I thought of ‘Wikipedia’ and ‘Creative Commons’, and then a few more, making ‘criminal’ into ‘spammer’, ‘free parking’ into ‘free hosting’. ‘Chance’ and ‘community chest’ become ‘comment’ and ‘trackback’. Fun -- yes? There is not much difference for me transforming the game than writing a poem, using similes, metaphors and symbols.” [littleoslo, via Boing Boing]

This is a nice, visual representation of bloggy and social sites/services. It could serve as an interesting conversation piece in training classes, especially tech CE events.

Teaching CSS: there's a long way to go

Teaching CSS: there's a long way to go 11/19/2003 01:41 AM

This email to the css-discuss mailing list does a great job of describing the confusion and frustration that still confronts traditional web developers who are only just starting out on the road to mastering CSS. When you've "got it", it's easy to forget how much of a paradigm shift it is away from old school table methods. Here's an extract:

Step Eight.

Just when you think you're settling down into a slow and steady learning curve, this is about when you start getting emails from everyone who uses your site describing all kinds of variations on your layout as it has been interpreted by their varying browsers and platforms. This stage is the most important of all, the one where you realize that CSS support is far, far more random than any HTML workarounds that you've been dealing with for the (insert personal experience here) years you've been making web pages.

(Excerpt from an email from a user of one of my sites: "the new color and stuff on the homepage looks good, except on my computor [sic] some of the pages are cut off at the bottom and have big gaps in them")

Maybe a good analogy to make here is one with Linux: both are great in principle, but if you aren't comfortable with what you are doing you can run in to a whole bunch of problems. I wouldn't recommend anyone who is still on the CSS learning curve to move a big commercial project to pure CSS, just as I wouldn't suggest a Linux newbie start hosting their own internet facing server.

At any rate, it's obvious that we as a community still have a long way to go in creating useful resources for people who want to make the switch to CSS.

Teaching the Test in Texas

Teaching the Test in Texas 12/03/2003 12:14 PM
Teach ing the Test
As a student at Jefferson Davis High here, Rosa Arevelo seemed the "Texas miracle" in motion. After years of classroom drills, she passed the high school exam required for graduation on her first try. A program of college prep courses earned her the designation "Texas scholar." At the University of Houston, though, Ms. Arevelo discovered the distance between what Texas public schools called success and what she needed to know. Trained to write five-paragraph "persuasive essays" for the state exam, she was stumped by her first writing assignment. She failed the college entrance exam in math twice, even with a year of remedial algebra. At 19, she gave up and went to trade school.

This doesn't look good for our new, unfunded, "Leave No Child Behind" education bill. Smells like another bait and switch to me.

“One of the cultural icons of nanotechnology is the image of the surgical team from the 1966 science fiction movie, Fantastic Voyage, motoring along through the bloodstream of scientist Jan Benes. Everyone knows the image is about as closely related to real-life nanotechnology as Jurassic Park is to genomics-still, it’s hard to shake. The scene, and others like it have inspired a generation of researchers to pursue technologies that may one day deliver cancer-fighting drugs…

Maria, the Virtual Teaching Assistant?

Maria, the Virtual Teaching Assistant? 02/01/2005 10:05 PM
Maria is an assistant teacher in Statistical Interference at the University of Auckland according to a new press release from the University. It also describes some of the unique attributes of Maria. First of all, it claims she's a virtual, artificial intelligence entity "with a vocabulary of 203,000 words, a repertoire of 106,000 grammatical rules and 118,000 rules of logical interference, Maria is capable of conversation at quite a complex level." Whe she's not teaching, Maria apparently hangs out on the Internet with her other virtual friends phishing for credit card numbers. Feel free to visit them and have a chat. I decided to interview Maria and find out if she's really as smart as the story claims.

Teaching educators about free software

Teaching educators about free software 12/17/2003 10:45 AM
I was shocked when the middle school principal told me he could not accept free software for his journalism program; that all he was allowed to use was fresh-from-the-box commercial software. "It's school district policy," he said. "We can't even bring software from home now. It's because of the licensing. There are big fines for using unlicensed software. We can't risk it." This was an educated man, a fine teacher and administrator, but he knew nothing about the licensing terms under which Linux, OpenOffice, and many other fine programs are distributed. Neither, apparently, did his superiors in the school district administration. We need to teach them.

Cory teaching Clarion in 2005

Cory teaching Clarion in 2005 07/28/2004 05:48 AM
In 1992, I graduated from the Clarion Writers' Workshop at Michigan State University, the famed six-week "boot-camp for science-fiction writers." It was an amazing experience: my instruction from the likes of Damon Knight, James Patrick Kelly, Lisa Goldstein, Nancy Kress and Kate Wilhelm forever changed me as a writer and a person.

Therefore, it is a stupendous honour to be able to announce that I will be returning to Clarion next year, as part of the 2005 roster of instructors. My co-instructors will be Joan Vinge, Charles Coleman Finlay, Gwyneth Jones, Walter John Williams and Leslie What.

Clarion is in transition this year, as funding cuts at MSU will require a change of venue. Here are some details:

Among the options being considered are moving the workshop to another university or becoming an independent non-profit organization, along the lines of Clarion West. In either event, Clarion is likely to leave its long-time home in East Lansing and is actively soliciting suggestions for new location(s) and offers from organizations or groups willing to host the workshop. “I think it’s past time for Clarion to make a transition to a new venue and a new structure,” said Board Member James Patrick Kelly. The Clarion Board is calling on alumni and friends of the workshop to volunteer to help with the transition. “We need to work on fundraising, communications, and administration,” said Kelly. “We’re encouraging people who believe in Clarion to get involved with everything from putting together our newsletter to helping choose the instructors and lots in between.” To that end, the Clarion Board of Directors, which currently consists of Matheson, Kelly, Kate Wilhelm, Maureen McHugh, Karen Joy Fowler, Tim Powers, and former Clarion director Tess Tavormina will be looking to reconstitute itself and expand its membership.

The Pool emphasizes distributed creativity, a concept similar to a cluster computer for the media world. Users can dive into the Pool and search for visuals or audio tracks to use with their own projects, find collaborators to work with or ask for feedback from their peers.
Contributors also can propose a concept for others to implement, or respond to invitations to explore, debug, re-edit or remix existing works.

The Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania is holding a conference this weekend on the growing copyright problems facing scholars using digital media. "Knowledge Held Hostage: Scholarly Versus Corporate Rights in the Digital Age" examines the overlap of creative use of technology with (often inadvertent) copyright infringement.

Questions to be addressed include the following:

What justifies fair use in a scholarly context?

Is there a viable alternative to fair use in the academic environment?
What are the fair use issues and needs raised by different scholarly media (for example, print, film, digital media, databases)?

Do different kinds of institutional arrangements (large vs. small school vs. professional society, classroom vs. library) raise different fair use issues and needs?

The event is also sponsored by Rice University 's Connexions project .

We do want to hear new music. That's one reason why radio was popular. But music rental faces extremely tough competitioin: from both radio -- which is still mainly free, and podcasts such as PodSafe Music and (ahem) MyAppleMenu Shuffle provides daily free music too.

Because, even though you're forced to view the argument list opaquely, there's no argument count! That is, the standard says the variable length argument list lives in a magic va_arg thingie, you must use the Magic Functions to get the individual arguments out, and you must have the magic ... signature to note varargs in the function declaration, but... the standard can't be bothered to mandate that an argument count is passed.
