Drive By Blogging
The Lab of Ornithology is entering a redesign for the site and has started a blog to chronicle the process. we have recently re-vamped the Student Life, Alumni, and Outreach sections of cornell.edu with new photos and features. Carrie tells me that the President’s section is on deck. We also added a prominent link to [...]
[Superpoke] LC Norfleet has solicited your opinion!
Earlier this semester, we had a CU Web Forum Meeting about Social Networking (scroll down to February) and how people were experimenting around campus. One of the many things that came out of it was a request from my boss, Diane, for me to draft a position statement about Facebook. Another thing to come out [...]
Don’t learn safety by accident
As you may recall, my last post made passing reference to the launch of Safety Zone on CUInfo. Since then, we’ve had the chance to gather some (not a lot) of feedback from the community. But, you know me. I’m all about the feedback. And it does say “Join the conversation!” up there at the [...]
Catch up isn’t just for fries, you know…
Okay. I admit it. I have been doing a piss-poor job at blogging, lately. There are lots of excuses, but none of them are really any good so let’s just skip all that and move right to the content part of today’s program. Some Things of Note from the OWC: Bonnie, intrepid and dutiful soul [...]
There is No Shame in Bulleted Lists.
Here’s what’s going on in and around cornell.edu: The Panos you all had a sneak peek at a couple of weeks ago went live this morning! Speaking of panos…did you catch the one for our basketball victory? Another “Just In Time” pano is planned for Dragon Day next week. CornellCast has launched the In The [...]
Three for Thursday
A Whole Lotta Limbo After a long evaluation and consensus-building project, Bedework has been chosen as the infrastructure for the new university calendar. I’ve only just started poking around in it, so I don’t really have much to say just yet. Look for a Summer implementation in one form or another. Many, many details to [...]
panoply (noun) a splendid display
It used to be that the big images on the Cornell Home Page were called “campaign images”–the idea being that the space would be used in organized ways to further any of several specific goals. Examples of this are (but are not limited to): the series of images we run every year in conjunction with [...]
Ask and Ye Shall Receive
We got some good comments and questions on the last post about the campus mapping project. (Thank you!) Here are some answers. Rick asked: do we have better satellite imagery? do the GIS folks at Mann Library have actual imagery that could be layered with this data? Also, I think 2D is one dimension short, [...]
A Road Map Tells You Everything. Except How to Re-fold it.
I like maps. In college, I had a fold-out map of the Adirondack Park tacked to my dorm room wall and I would mark off routes I’d driven and places my roommate and I visited in my father’s Oldsmobile. By the end of my time in the North Country, it was practically neon with all [...]
I bet Ward Cunningham Isn’t Wearing Thinsulate Boots Right Now
If I were the superstitious sort, I would be wondering whether or not my last entry about the weather stuff is behind the sudden arrival of Winter to Ithaca. It’s a full twenty-degrees warmer in Minsk right now. Totally my bad. Here are a few things for your consideration: The Intercampus Initiatives site was recently [...]
