Citizen Journalism, Multimedia Style, in Wisconsin Jim Zellmer sends a link to his multimedia coverage of the school board election in Madison, Wisconsin. There are audio/video interviews for most candidates, links to campaign finance documents and, in one case, a candidate's own blog. I looked around the local newspaper's site and didn't find anything comparable. From Dan Gillmor's eJournal on March 8, 2004 at 10:47 p.m..

Microsoft's Robert Scoble has quite a few bones to pick with Schwartz. Robert makes some good points. But he might be wiser not to brag about Microsoft's intentions to put RSS into a component of the Longhorn operating system, given how long it may be before the e From Dan Gillmor's eJournal on March 8, 2004 at 10:47 p.m..

Aren't open source CMSs, etc. just new teaching tools? Scott Leslie maintains a finger on the pulse on this issue. In an entry at his blog, he points to several lists of users of various open source CMSs. Quite a large list too. Comment: Scott mentions these lists as something we can use with IT and Edtech managers to help convince them to give open source systems a try. This may work.

Microsoft Word's Mac Showstoppers My book editor and I are going crazy trying to track changes in our drafts using Microsoft Word on Mac OS X. The program has some absurd bugs, or perhaps conflicts with other software, that cause a variety of problems including:

  • Tracking-text color changes for no apparent reason, creating the impression that yet another person is working on the copy;
  • Overwritten text where strike-outs and insertions should appear;
  • Corrupted files that caused Entourage to misbehave when I tried to send a file. The first two are mainly annoying, though they consume time I don't really have. From Dan Gillmor's eJournal on March 8, 2004 at 2:47 p.m..

    The accident of geography When I was in kindergarten, my family lived in New Delhi. It was a magical year in which I made permanent memories of the sights, sounds, and smells of India.

Their faces and their voices became permanent memories, too. For me, the offshoring debate isn't abstra From Jon's Radio on March 8, 2004 at 1:47 p.m..

It sounds like a cool idea until you get to the final paragraphs of the piece: Their 75 employees and 20,000 square feet of warehouse space brought in $1.3M in revenues last year. Ulp.
