short film using a still camera

This is a pretty interesting short film done using the burst mode on the camera:

ed-tech job search & best education blogs

The new issue of e-School News highlights a number of websites, and also includes their first educational weblog awards. One of the highlighted sites is the Consortium for School Networking's Career Center. The mention that jobs seekers can track up to 100 jobs and get notifications using RSS. They may be a little ahead of themselves there -- the site doesn't have a single job listing yet.

The four winners in the 2006 Education Blog Awards are:

Assorted Stuff by Tim Stahmer - Best Instruction Blog for Teachers (for some reason, this link does not work, but you should be able to go to http://www.assortedstuff.com - it's there, although the link generates an error)

Applied Science Research by Frank LaBanca - Best Classroom Instructional Blog for Students

Moving at the Speed of Creativity by Wesley Fryer - Best Education Theory Blog

EduWonk by Andrew Rotherman - Best K-12 Administration Blog

The only one of these I've read is EduWonk, but the others sound good, so it's time to check them out.

Super Bowl MVPs - no Joe Montana

I thought the segment of the Super Bowl pregame where they had previous most valuable players run out was going to take forever, but I guess they couldn't get them all to do it. Joe Montana, the only three time MVP, was most notable among the missing.

My sons found the Rolling Stones to be a little creepy during the halftime show. In other words, they were way too old looking to be out there.

Posting from MarsEdit to Blogger account. Does it work?

long time between posts

It looks like I set up this weblog and then didn't post anything for 18 months...Actually I knew I had set up an account, but until today when someone else must have tried to log in as me and couldn't do it, I had forgotten about it. An email telling me how to re-set my password is what got me to come back here.

My other weblog has disappeared

Sadly, weblogs.education.ucr.edu/breilly has been unavailable for a week now and despite my efforts to repair it, it may see no more activity. I'm trying to figure out which alternative is going to work best for me -- this blogger account, my WordPress set up on reillyville.com or maybe something else. I think my days of using Manila and managing the Manila server, may be over.
