"building the capacity of public media and technology organizations"
Dear Broadband Stimulus,
Where are you?
Love,
Everyone but the peeps who already found out about their application.
hey everyone, its been a while. I think i start every blog with "its been a while since i wrote a blog" haha. well i'm a busy man. It's not easy working full time, making such a large sum of money and trying to find places to spend it all. HEY i think the greatest thing i did this year was go to the Sundance film festival.
I'm at PSO and we're leaning how to Blog! It's very exciting. However, it's not as excitting as the prospect of candlepin bowling ... which is apparently our outing tonight. I'm not sure what exaclty Candlepin Bowling is, but if you follow that link you can learn more ... that's where I'm going right now!
Check out this campaign to use blogging to get the discussion going about technology and violence against women!

ka-BLOG! We want to take over the blogosphere for 16 days.
[From the blog of Raymond Varona, August 23, 2006.]
During the summer, most of our population was made up of kids whose primary language wasn't English and who had never used a computer before. As a result, the workshops were more like guided activities instead of real skill-building sessions since I have to literally show them, step-by-step, how to do every action (including opening files and browsing through folders). So I started off with an intro to Photoshop and gradually worked my content down to the point where my last workshop was on how to change fonts in different programs...
Colin Rhinesmith (ACME Boston / Berkman Center / Emerson grad student / podcast genius) and I presented a quick one hour workshop today on blogging for teens and journalism teachers at today's Blogging Workshop at Media Matters: Writing Conference For High School Teachers & Teens, sponsored by the Boston Globe here on the UMB campus. The event was co-sponsored by Project Think Different, home of former CTC VISTA Cara Powers and current VISTA Colleen Kelly. The group seemed interested in how to get the word out about blogs once they're up. Colin and I posted the outline on the ACMEBoston blog, along with folks ideas of how they might use blogging in the future.
Paul Hansen and I are trying to get some easy notification system working so that our VISTAs will know when someone comments on their blog without having to individually check all their entries.

Does anyone know if there is a way to be alerted when someone comments on your blog? Or somewhere where recent activity is summarized so that you don't have to look at every one? Thanks!

Great idea! I second the motion that we have an alert for comments somewhere. Either when we log in something that says "New Blog Comments" or an email.
I think we have to talk to Ben about this. Hopefully he is reading blogs, but we may have to email him directly.
Peace, Rich

Hey Corey,
I'll check with Ben about the notification, but a better aggregation page is coming very soon, complete with latest comments as well.

Yeah, so I'm blogging. Week 3 at the job. Trying to figure out that delicate balance between direct service and capacity building. Trying to get some people even crazier than me to do the direct service bit on a volunteer/intern basis. Anyone out there have any leads for getting volunteers? Specifically, in the Boston area? Been hitting colleges and posting on Craigslist and such.

Hi Melissa! Thanks for your kind words! Your works seems exciting and technical. It was like reading German to me :x Hope everything is great in LA!
