Podcast recording #1: Megan Fox
We recorded the event on cassette tape and I finally had a chance to digitize them and convert them to MP3's. I used Audio Hijack Pro on Mac OS X.

Blogging Megan's Presentation
Here's a link to my notes on Megan's presentation. As I'm hosting both this NEASIST weblog and my own personal weblog on the same Moveable Type instance, I expect to be able to trackback between the two. However, a Moveable Type extension I've installed to prevent spam called MTBlacklist is denying my attempts to trackback from http://www.metametadata.net/mt on the grounds of questionable content!!!
SPIM
Megan's talking about the use of SMS at academic institutions to communicate to students and faculty and potential for SPIM (spam for instant messaging). I already get SPIM from my mobile phone provider (movie polls, pope watch, random posts from people attending the Sundance Film Fest). I don't think I want to get anything from the Follett's people or the new class ring provider...

It's not specifically a "library" blog, but of great relevance to our world...
What caught my attention this morning was the entry on Digital Lifestyle Aggregators...
