Self issue for kids

Sunday, 27 April, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Originally uploaded by Andrea Mercado

I love this idea! Children are always intrigued by what we do when we issue (checkout) books at the library and I imagine they’d be delighted to be able to do it themselves. It’s such a simple idea but so effective.

Bad news I'm afraid. Tuesday, 22 December, 2009

There's really no good way to say this, so I'll come straight out with it. I'm not sure how many people know that my wife Jill has been fighting cancer for the last two and a half years, with regular visits to the Royal Marsden, and has had almost 100 cycles of chemotherapy. I've been spending much of my time supporting her - which is why […]

Online09 and H1N1 Wednesday, 9 December, 2009

As you're probably aware, if you can cast your minds back a week, I wasn't at Online09 this year. My presentations were instead most superbly interpreted by Karen Blakeman and Mary Ellen Bates. This is a lot easier said than done, since I tend to produce presentations that are screenshots, photographs and images without little integral content and […]

More thoughts on Google Images Wednesday, 25 November, 2009

If you've not read my first blog post on the Michelle Obama image fiasco you might want to start there first. I should also point out that I'm going to be referring to some words that people might find offensive in this post - I've used asterisks and don't really think anyone will be upset, but it's your personal call.Google's c […]

TipTop for Twitter search Tuesday, 24 November, 2009

I've been told about TipTop, which is an interesting Twitter search engine. Pop in your search and you get some interesting material back. Rather than a straight feed of data, TipTop arranges it into several panes of information - 'pro' the subject, 'anti' the subject, everything else, related content, and web based information. Ther […]

Google Chrome OS Sunday, 22 November, 2009

Image by FreeCliDent via FlickrYou've probably seen mention of Google Chrome as a browser - it's now becoming an OS or operating system. The video below explains it in more detail, but if you want to get a quick handle on it - Google ChromeOS turns your computer into a dumb terminal. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but that's essentia […]

Limiting Google results to seconds! Saturday, 21 November, 2009

Let's face it - the 'Recent' option on Google results is great, but if you're looking for really recent material, you don't have much control over it. At least, until now. A nice post over at SearchEngineLand explains how you can limit your results to data that Google has added as recently as the last second or so. This is how you do […]

Lists of Twitter users; a few thoughts Sunday, 1 November, 2009

The first thing to say is that I said 'lists of Twitter users' not 'Twitter lists'. Now that Twitter has rolled out the lists option to everyone there's a lot of discussion about the basic concept of putting people into lists, yet this isn't new - it's been around for a while. I suppose the first version is the 'Follow […]
