Rather then just downvote you, let me say that I (20+ years webdev) and my colleagues use our audience to determine what browsers we support, not our personal preferences. My job is to provide visitors to my clients websites with the best p

Good for you Boz! Some people go their whole lives without learning that lesson. One of my favorite pieces of advice I ever received was "be direct, be specific, and be non-punishing." At the time, I thought it was trite advice, b

The term "Digital Native" is one of my biggest pet peeves. I once asked Howard Rhinegold if he felt there was any justification to the "digital natives" idea and he expressed that in his experience in teaching freshmen a

I must second the comment about the name. Most educators I know (and I know many) would avoid anything that suggests their work is templated or rote, and "classmill" kind of starts off on a bad foot with an educator audience. Seem

Thanks Sir Terry! Your books are a comfort to me and you can just add me to the list of fans world-wide whose lives are just that bit richer for your being here. Nicely done.

I work for a Science museum that is struggling to keep its twenty-year digital collection (web, media, art, etc) archived. Resources seems the be the common factor. It takes time and energy to keep old projects from falling into disrepair o

I share a bit of your frustration, but I still use Transmit because I like it best. Just be wary of how Transmit caches file listings, I often need to manually refresh it to see file changes.

The educational world is besieged by companies convinced that their technology is not only the solution to our educational woes, but a fat business opportunity waiting to be exploited. Teachers in classrooms have been burned so many times b

This is the first computer game I ever played. My mom was a secretary at a local university, and there was a computer lab across the hall from her office. I'd go there after school to wait for a ride home, and someone logged me in and

The whole shebang is owned by GWL. I once heard George say that he had no interest in going public. He wanted his companies to work on his projects before anything else, which cause a lot of grief at ILM some years ago.
