Some changes around here
Since I’ve been using Flock my blogging habits have changed. Thanks to Flock’s builtin blogging client I can connect to all of my various blog and blog-like sites to create and edit posts. So I can post to <CONTENT /> (WordPress), Teknoids (Drupal), and CALIopolis (LifeType) from a single consistant interface. This is cool. Flock makes it happen through the magic of XML-RPC and assorted blogging APIs. Bottomline: given the ease of posting I’ve shifted where stuff gets posted.
This blog, <CONTENT />, remains my primary personal blog. Anything may turn up here, but it is likely to be stuff that concerns my interests in technology and education. My occasional ramblings on whatever catches my brain will end up here.
Links to and posts about cool tech tools and some tech news are going to Teknoids. I’m still using the ‘cooltool’ category to mark these posts on Teknoids. My hope is that posting there will provide more information to my teknoid friends. The focus is mainly on stuff that Ifind useful and that is of use to legal academia in a broad sense.
Finally, educational and instructional technology oriented posts are going to CALIopolis, the official blog of CALI. Generally things that would be within the CALI mission will get blogged there.

Typepad Problems, CALI Opportunity?
Problems persist at the popular blog hosting service TypePad, with numerous users reporting that they are unable to access their blog management system. In addition, a number of TypePad users report that posts from the past three days have disappeared from their blogs. While TypePad-hosted sites are visible, service operator Six Apart says the TypePad blogging application is currently unavailable and describes the status of TypePad sites as “degraded.” At one point blogs had to be restored from backup, which is why the most recent posts are missing from many blogs.
Netcraft: Performance Problems Persist for TypePad
A certain well regarded network of legal academia blogs is running on Typepad. Suppose CALI offered the network a dedicated server and support. Beats getting whacked by Typepad outages at potentially the most important time of the year.

E-paper around the corner?
Siemens, the German-based electronics company, is readying a new e-paper technology that it claims will be inexpensive enough to appear on consumer packaging, such as breakfast cereal boxes.
E-paper: coming soon to a cereal box near you
Siemens expects to have products ready for 2007. Seems to me that e-paper has been about 2 years out for the past 5-7 years. Eventually we will see it and it will be revolutionary, but I’m not going to hold my breath.

Notching It Up on the Portal Front
Apparently taking cues from Microsoft, Google late Tuesday announced that it would allow users to personalize their homepage much in the way Live.com already works. The new feature would allow for drag and drop organization, as well as an API to build “modules” for use on the homepage.Microsoft allows much of the same functionality through its Microsoft Gadgets framework. Both make use of RSS feeds, and can use various Web technologies to give the mini-applications functionality.
