Beaded Badge Lanyards

My friend Dawn also works in IT. We both have had badges to wear at work, and we both attend conferences, where you also wear badges. Mostly the badges are on fiber-lanyards, and whether you’re at a jeans-and-t-shirt SF con, or IT conference, you look like a dork. And if you’re wearing business wear, a […]

Bloggers As Public Intellectuals

H.L. Mencken, Edmund Wilson, I.F. Stone, Germaine Greer, Gertrude Stein, Hannah Arendt all gained prominence as American public intellectuals through newspaper columns and books of collected essays. […]

Women and WWDC

Dori is unhappy about missing the Webloggers’ dinner. There wasn’t a special invite list; Buzz issued a general invitation back in April. I think I saw it on Brent’s site.I’m sorry Dori wasn’t there; I would have liked to have seen other women bloggers there, or, better still, more women at WWDC. I always […]

WWDC Webloggers’ Dinner

I enjoyed the web bloggers’ dinner last night, and really appreciate Buzz Andersen arranging it. It was great to meet Brent, Eric Albert, Joe Heck, Jonas Luster, Wolf Rentzsch, Paul, and others whose names I either didn’t catch, or don’t remember (sorry!). People seemed really enthusiastic about the Keynote announcements, which is good, since […]

WWDC 2004 Keynote

I’ve been unable to get a DHCP connection, so haven’t really been ab le to blog the conference, not even the stuff I can talk about. I’ll post my WWDC entries retroactively, once I’m home. I tend to write posts in BBEdit anyway, so I can simply wait to post. I think they things that […]

Celtic Literature is Everywhere

So, right after I, somewhat ruefully, point out that I don’t, quite, fit in at WWDC, I find a fellow attendee and blogger Joe Heck’s blog (and his domain) is called Rhonawby, after the twelfth century Arthurian text The Dream of Rhonabwy or in Welsh Breuddwyd Rhonabwy. Rhonawby is an interesting text for its […]

WWDC

On the strength of a student scholarship from Apple, I’ll be going to Apple’s World Wide Developer’s conference. I can’t stay the whole time, the hotels cost too much, especially if, like me, you’re a navigationally impaired grad student and need to be fairly close to Moscone. But I will be blogging, when the NDA […]

WWDC 2004 Socializing

Like Justin Williams, I have a Student Scholarship from Apple to attend this year’s WWDC. I’m still not quite sure how I’ll get there, but I’m working on it.
I note, via Brent Simmons, that Buzz Andersen has proposed a web-logger get together. I’m game, though it needs to be near Moscone since I can’t […]

2004 CCCC U Blog

I was planning on attending the 2004 CCCC conference and participating as one of the facilitators in a half day workshop on
U. Blog: A Practical Introduction To Using Weblogs For the Classroom and Research. But first a absence of funding, and then, impending jury duty interfered. However, I wish my peers the best of luck, […]
