I clicked #ihaveadream on twitter

This was my first mistake. Reading the posts became the second mistake. And, we’re excluding spelling and grammar from our list of criteria on which to judge. For every one of these there are thousands more.

Free stuff

I got some free stuff at WordCamp Atlanta, obviously, as that’s the only reason I go to these things.
The pennies say Wordpress and WordCamp Atlanta.

Wordcamp ATL

I’ve just got back from an informative day at WordCamp Atlanta hosted by SCAD, my university. I mentioned this event previously and linked to the badge that said I was attending, however I’ve since learned that because I attend SCAD that I’m technically a sponsor. (It says so on my badge.) Therefore, I must revise [...]

Cheap college

I also get some stuff free. Poetics, which I have to read for my writing and new media class, is on the iPhone thanks to Stanza. I like Stanza because it has many out of copyright books.

Best spoof of a spoof:

ATL and NYC

SCAD, my university, is hosting WordCamp this January! And…

Then in March I’ll be heading to New York City to the Spring National College Media Convention to speak on the subject of migrating from print to Web-only. And, while there I’m going to go to Google!

My daily time expenditure

Answering @scadradio’s call!

WordPress 2.9

WordPress released version 2.9 of their ubiquitous blogging software Friday, and of the many new features one caught my eye.

Post thumbnails!

I hope to use this new feature with the District theme. Right now I have each category post the last five to 10 posts in a cell. There are several cells on the home page. [...]

Another nail in the coffin for newspapers?

Google rolled out a new feature a week or so ago that shows real-time results on the topic you’ve searched for.

This is a big deal for news companies, especially those who want to block Google. If Google isn’t indexing their site, and a breaking story happens- people will go to the competition. More importantly, [...]
