Absorbing the Big Picture: Immersion and Interactivity in Science Education videoPosted by Paul in GeneralSteve groupblogs about id’s presentation at NASA on the HASTAC blog and points us to a video of the talk. Ken alerts us to this Presidential initiative — involving zombies. Jason, Mur and others at Lulu.tv have put together this educational video about dealing with “Zombies in the Workplace”. Helpful pointers for proper behavior, etc. David H. sends this as an IM:
Kristina sends out the alert to all of us that Brewster Kahle is interviewed by the Library Journal’s Andrew Richard Albanese in “Scan This Book: In the race to digitize the public domain, is the future of the library at stake?” Brewster speaks here in his Open Content Alliance capacity, but of course we know him from Archive.org and the emerging Open Library The J-School is full of smart writers and experienced reporters. Many of them are now blogging. The latest to announce a blog are Leroy Townes and Anne Johnston with their Talk Politics blog. Others already blogging are: Thinking About College Teaching Talking Biz News Weblog for Midcareer Copy Editors Blue Highways Journal The Editor’s Desk Newsweek gives serious cover story love to Facebook including this quote from Fred (just before a quote from Robert Putnam):
Had a great coffee session with Bora yesterday. He was very excited about his work with the Public Library of Science and about his recent trip to Science FOO Camp held at the Googleplex and featuring top scientists like Freeman Dyson, Martha Stewart and the Amazing Randi. His blog entries here. Some of the folks he met there will be coming to the 2008 Science Bloggers Conference here in January. Doug Rushkoff explains how zombie movies are actually educational films that teach us about our own culture and its failings in Discover. Interestingly enough, Doug’s “Screenagers” (revised and renamed “Playing with the Future“) is subtitled “Lessons In Chaos From Digital Kids”; as “Playing” it was subtitled “What We Can Learn from Digital Kids.” Do or did Kids == Zombies? The funniest “Rove resigns” entry may be the most factual. I do hope he figures out how to do mass email deletions on the iPhone and that he shares that info with the rest of us. Breaking from the puzzle this morning, I found two interesting articles that will be getting play on the net and they deserve that play. I’m passing on the American company that developed the people tracking system for China as I think there should be a longer and even more thoughtful investigative piece to come out on that later. There is a good article on the ConnectU vs Facebook suit, “Who Owns the Concept if No One Signs the Papers?” by Jason Pontin. Pontin contents, citing some smart lawyers, that ConnectU will lose as it had no contract and no NDA or non-compete with Facebook’s Zuckerberg. Lessons here for young entrepreneurs. John Mackey, granola baron of Whole Foods, and his sock puppetry get the attention of Christopher Caldwell in the Sunday Magazine as he writes “Not Being There” about online identity and anonymity. Just what are the rules and social norms when it comes to identity and anonymity on the Net? If you were born before 1970, you don’t really know says Caldwell — so tell me. Went out to Saxapahaw to take in the Farmer’s Market and Django Haskins show. This is Django solo and non-electric for the most part. The Farmer’s Market has really grown and expanded. The winery across the road has a nice selection and a tasting table. Several folks are selling locally made cheeses. And there was a taco truck! Not with tacos but with BBQ Joint BBQ and Gumbo. Yummmm! Heather was nice enough to give us an SXPHW sticker to go with out Cackalacky one. Sally has pictures here. Django’s set list: *=unreleased SCO Group who claimed to own Unix and therefore, in their suit against IBM, Linux, has been found to never have owned Unix in any way shape or form in the first place. Groklaw’s version of the story and Wall Street Journal says “Court Ruling Gives Novell Copyright in Unix System”. Finally and briefly ComputerWorld reports:
Novell’s official statement as of 6pm PDT:
It came from Rawlee and will open in theaters on two continents on August 16 — Elvis’ Grave. Trailer of “Chainsaw scene.” Bruce Klein asks a bunch of folks the question above is a brief survey that looked like this (once I filled it in):
David id McConville writes to alert us that he is giving a presentation at NASA Goddard Spaceflight Center about collaborations between media artists, scientists, and educators to use visualization tools for encouraging big picture thinking TODAY at Noon. NASA: Committee for Education & Public Outreach – Calendar for more. If you can’t get to Goddard today, you can still watch or listen to David’s talk:
Last night was the Community Night Out in Chapel Hill, Sally and I started up at the Carolina Car Wash where Carrboro meets Chapel Hill and walked with what began as a small group through the Northside neighborhood. The group grew dramatically as we strolled through the neighborhood toward the Hargraves Center. News and Observer reporter Meiling Arounnarath captures a bit of the walk in this article (see the Chapel Hill section) Communities have a night of resolve along with several quotes from me. |
