		<title>Video replaced the Blogging Star</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Based on Gawker&#8217;s news that they&#8217;re going to a more heavily video based format and leaving behind elements of the traditional blog layout, I started to think about video on the web. Firstly, there&#8217;s no denying appeal of video. I&#8217;m aware that increased computing power and ubiquitous high bandwidth (even on our mobile devices) has made video [...]]]></description>

		<title>Websites and Accessibility</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m taking a brief break from writing my thesis to comment on an issue that I take very seriously. I&#8217;ve been a University web developer for over ten years, and I&#8217;ve been a strong advocate for designing with universal accessibility in mind. I am not a fan of lawsuits that are designed to be a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Organic DOES NOT MEAN Pesticide free.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a pet peeve of mine, and one that I think is a harmful myth perpetuated by the &#8220;green revolution.&#8221; It is also a misconception I saw illuminated in the words of Julie Cummins, the director of education at the Center for Urban Education About Sustainable Agriculture (in this Chowhound thread). She tells consumers: [...]]]></description>

		<title>Peak Oil in Higher Education III</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve written previously that I believe the crisis in Higher Education and Academic Publishing was one that was centered around the fact that the price of the commodity they were selling dropped to zero. The discussions between Verizon and Google have rekindled interest in &#8220;Net Neutrality,&#8221; the idea that the companies that provide access to [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Low Cost of Maintaining your Digital Past</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the past there was a cost to maintaining the past. Nostalgic items took up space, coming at a physical cost; they also had a social cost which came in the form of partners, others and friends: &#8220;you really are still holding on to that? Just throw it out!&#8221; The combination of factors force individuals [...]]]></description>

		<title>Not Liking something is not the same as not &#8220;liking&#8221; something</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve noticed a worrying trend among news agencies. It seems that it has become de rigeur to use the number of members of a facebook group as an indication of the popularity of a trend or movement. For example, here is a quote from a recent CNN.com article discussing the &#8220;quit facebook&#8221; movement: &#8220;More than [...]]]></description>

		<title>What I would do for Five Bucks&#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was intrigued. The question of what I would do for five bucks lingered for days; obsessively I thought about what I could do. I needed a mental break on the weekends away from work and school work and thought that this was the perfect chance to monetize some of my hobbies. I liked to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Peak Oil in Higher Education, Part II</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had another thought while attending the Digital University Conference at CUNY on Wednesday and that was a serious question about who the experts will be under the new system of digital and open scholarship. Currently, Digital Scholarship is not valued or accepted on par with traditional methods of academic valuation. By that I mean: [...]]]></description>

		<title>Peak Oil in higher education</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I believe it was Chris Anderson&#8217;s Free that made the claim that much Science Fiction writing could be summarized as such: Take one thing that is currently scarce and make it abundant and see what happens to the people and institutions that rely and maintain that thing. This is the hope of much of the innovation in [...]]]></description>
