Penguin Day

"Tagging is easy" hear me and Amanda Hickman talk about tagging

In this short clip, [l:http://penguinday.blueoxen.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?AmandaHickman|Amanda Hickman] (from [l:http://lincproject.org/|LINC project] and [lk:nosi.net|NOSI]) and I chat briefly about tagging and, once again, upcoming.org.

Daniel K Gillmore Describes "Radio Diaries" class

I was talking to [l:http://penguinday.blueoxen.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Dkg|Daniel K. Gillmor] at [lk:newyork.penguinday.org|Penguin Day] about podcasting and audio recording. I recorded this description of a program he helps out on that teached public school kids to produce "radio" shows.

Penguin Day: Calendar applications

So as i mentioned in my initial reflections on the conference, calendaring was a hot topic of discussion.

These seem to be the three calendaring applications that folks were talking about.

[lk:Upcoming.org] (i love it, and think that there are so many applications for using it more, think dynamic blog calendars, tagging events to pull rss feeds into focused websites for seniors or kids etc...) I was pushing upcoming hard, and covered it in my speed geeking session.

Penguin Day: On Speed Geeking

Gunner, you sadist, 10 rounds of speed geeking? I was ok through round 6. For those who don;t know what [l:http://wiki.advocacydev.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?SpeedGeeking|Speed Geeking] is, the basic idea is that a bunch of conference attendees get 5 minutes to demo their "coolest thing" which might be a product, a tool, or a technology. The rest of the session attendees get into groups of 3 to 6 people and move around the room from station to station getting 5 minute frenzied schpiels about a bunch of cool technologies.

Penguin Day: Initial Reflection

I got hom a little while ago from [lk:newyork.penguinday.org|Penguin Day] (I actually walked home from the post conference watering hole on 33rd and 3rd ([l:http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=E+33rd+St+%26+3rd+Ave,+New+York,+NY+10016&daddr=Grand+Street+and+FDR+DR,+NY,+NY&hl=en|about 2.5miles and 4 minutes according to google maps] now, since i wasn;t walking along the FDR, it was more than 2.5 miles and even if i were driving the drive, i know that that would take more than 4 minutes google... I am digressing here but it comes back to a convo at he bar where John relayed Mark' grlfriend's displeasure for google maps because it doesn;t have subways and is not designed for walking, only driving)
