We are all accustomed to the idea of software “Preferences” – that part of the program where you can personalize how a particular application looks, feels, and works. Nearly every application that matters to me on my computer – Word, Keynote, Garage Band, etc. – have preferences and settings. On a Macintosh computer, for example, “System Preferences” is the control box of your most important interactions with the machine. I use the System Preferences box at least five times a week, if not more. And of course, on the Internet, there’s a yard sale’s worth of preferences: I’ve got settings for Twitter, Facebook, WordPress, Evernote, and of course Google – where I probably have a dozen different settings, given I have multiple identities there, and I use Google for mail, calendar, docs, YouTube, and the like. Any service I find important has settings.

This fall I'm helping facilitate a workshop for educators in Colombia about leading distributed networks and communities of practice for educators. We are hosting webmeetings every other week with guests who have experiences and knowledge to share. Last week Bronwyn Stuckey, a friend and colleague from Australia, shared her research about distributed CoPs in education. As part of these visits, we start by recording a few small podcasts so the group can get a sense of our guest. Then during the live web meeting, people can ask questions and have a conversation.

This online, edited collection explores discursive, visual, social, and other communicative features of weblogs. Essays analyze and critique situated cases and examples drawn from weblogs and weblog communities. Such a project requires a multidisciplinary approach, and contributions represent perspectives from Rhetoric, Communication, Sociology, Cultural Studies, Linguistics, and Education, among others.

I have been using OpenSolaris as my primary desktop for quite a while - it has been working well, all the devices except blue-tooth work. Features like suspend-resume and network auto manager have made life easier. With ZFS boot environment and Image packaging system, it has been easier to eliminate unwanted software and services to keep the desktop lightweight.
