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.

The first time I did it, I saved them in stereo without thinking and that caused huge file sizes. So I converted them to mono in order to have reasonable file sizes for downloading. Here is the first one:

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...

Social Software Blog

Here's another interesting blog that focuses on many of the different "social software" technologies we'll be looking at on Tuesday:

http://socialsoftware.weblogsinc.com/

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...
