My subscriptions network

I rave about the value of my aggregator all the time. It's way past time I make that list of sources available. I've added a link over to the right of all the subscriptions I follow in Radio. It's a much more dynamic list than my blogroll, which I'm coming to think of as a passing and obsolete concept. I've set it up so that changes to the subscription list will flow here once a day.

These are the bright minds that contribute to my evolving view of this world we live and work in.

in celebration of jim's two year blogiversary and his generous 'virtual' accessibility...

What a lovely gift. First time I've ever been the subject of a haiku. Thank you Judith.

BTW, if you aren't following Judith's weblog (RSS feed) you're missing important insights into the world of knowledge work.

Welcome misbehaving.net

we're misbehavin'. I’m delighted to announce the debut of a new weblog on the topic of gender and technology: misbehaving.net We’ve got a really amazing group of women participating on this site: danah boyd Caterina Fake Meg Hourihan me (Liz Lawley) Dorothea Salo Halley Suitt Gina Trapani Jill Walker We all believe it’s important to begin changing the public perception of women in the context of technology, and that one of the best ways to do that is to make women’s accomplishments, writings, and contributions more public and visible. I hope you’ll add the new site to your blogroll and/or aggregator list!... [mamamusings]

From the site's description:

misbehaving.net is a weblog about women and technology. It's a celebration of women's contributions to computing; a place to spotlight women's contributions as well point out new opportunities and challenges for women in the computing field.

Since I already have about half the group posting here in my subscription list, I suspect this will be worth the attention. The RSS feed (RSS 1.0 format) is truncated, which wouldn't be my first choice, but better than no feed at all.

How Everyday Things Are Made

How Everyday Things Are Made.

How Everyday Things are Made: Spent the morning with my kids on this site. They loved it. Good example of learning with video/audio and limited interaction ("apply it" section). I'm reminded of how we are still in the early stages of elearning...and offerings will continue to be more sophisticated. My first exposure to the Web was a text only experience. Now, in a very short period of time, the browsing experience has become interactive, media-rich, and user-friendly (in many cases). We have the background of Web progression to direct our efforts in elearning...so it's safe to say that over the next five years, we'll see an exponential improvement in the quality of elearning materials.

Beginner's mind

Beginner's mind. "I have learned the novice can often see things that the expert overlooks. All that is necessary is not to be afraid of making mistakes or of appearing naive."

Sage advice. For extra credit, try making interesting mistakes.
