02.04.08Why I Can’t Read Novels Anymore
Social Media, UncategorizedOver the past year or more I have become a complete information whore. At first I viewed this as a real asset – I knew everything. Names of all the big players in startups and tech: VCs, founders, new industry competitors, etc. I had access to information no one else knew about; I felt a step ahead of the game. I have optimized my ability to consume niche information rapidly: reading blog posts via Google Reader and applying tags (340 subscriptions to blogs on social media, venture capital and tech/economics). Daily I consume and tag 30+ websites ...

02.22.07Valentine’s Mobile Phone Ratios Are In!
My Experiences, UncategorizedOkay, so the results are in from the Valentine’s Mobile Phone Ratio Game. These ratios are being examined to see if our cell phones contain "hidden data" providing insight into our dating ethos. Our judge (Mystery Man Dan, who btw is single) has passed his decrees. Unfortunately a few people on my ’tagged list’ didn’t want to play, but for those who did, I hope you can find some meaning here: key - [ratio, exes, creeps, possibilities] PSN: "Wonder John" 2.59, 0, 1, 4 With a ratio of 2.59 and zero exes, you are quite the anomaly among this group. This either means ...

My Experiences, UncategorizedFor the full version of this 2.0 Valentine letter click here. Created by Social Signal. Since today is Valentines I want to play a fun game developed by my friend Dan.

11.30.06It Does a Body Good
UncategorizedI apologize for several posts in a row focused on Google I guess I have been milking them for all they're worth. Here is a debate my roommate and I have recently had: If you were to drop a plastic jug of milk in the supermarket from about waist high, would the gallon explode over the floor, or would the tear-away seal be able to withstand the impact What do you think?

11.09.06Addendum to our 2.0 Campus Rankings
Campus Chatter, UncategorizedLooks like a few people have taken note of our 2.0 rankings posted the other day. I am including a bit more information here: How are these rankings different from other rankings? Technology-On-Campus isn't about what it used to be about. "Others" rank schools based on ’most wired’: looking at the number of computers per student and wifi access. Times have changed - technology is no longer about hardware. Why are these rankings important? These ranking are important because they represent campuses that are staying current with new media. How a school uses technology to engage its community is equally as important as ...

11.04.06Blogging About Logging: Introducing Dan
Tech'nomics, UncategorizedI recently asked my friend Dan if he would be willing to be a ’guest blogger’ on the IntelliGrad Blog, to which he responded, ’Can I do blogging about logging’? What he was referring to is a lean-to he's building for his students. Here is a picture:? What I love about the lean-to is that at first glance the entire project appears to be the antithesis of my approach to education“ developing and using new media and technology to connect people. Initially the lean-to seems about as ’primitive’ and ’caveman’ as you can get. Yet, at its core, the lean-to ...

10.26.06Friday s Featured Friend: Community Spirit 101
Campus Chatter, Tech'nomics, UncategorizedBefore launching into a review of some cool widgets, I want to talk about community. First of all, the theory of some social networks who belive: "If you build it, they will come" is whack. In order to be successful, with anything web-based, especially a social network, it's all about user engagement and feedback. You may notice that IntelliGrad has added Buddy Mapping under the ’Network Tab’ on our homepage. Clicking on any orange dot on the map will show you the location of someone who is our friend“ you can see their name and sometimes (if they were nice) ...
