So Skype just updated itself on my computer and I can now SMS straight from Skype. It even works in China! I sent myself an SMS for $0.0055 at that rate, I can afford to send SMS messages. To the States just $0.112. That’s not bad! Now we just have to keep China from blocking it…keep your fingers crossed. I […]
It’s been two days now since this conference has ended. I’ve been using this time to reflect on the conference. The things that I feel went well and the things I think can be improved on for next year. First let me state, that I had nothing to do with the conference. My only contributions to the conference was allowing […]
Beth Gourley left a comment on our final podcast about questions that she has about our use of Internet sites at our school. Beth works in China as well so her questions have caused me to reflect. Please know Beth (and whoever else reads this) that the following is my thoughts on the matter and not necessarily the thoughts of […]
Our final LAN party podcast…kind of sad really. We discuss the conference in general, the LAN parties, and touch on Anne Davis’s keynote of Overcoming Obstacles. It was a great Saturday morning, taking part in a 2 hour Skype conversation as part of the When Night Falls Skypecast and learning and watching the presentations in the Overcoming Obstacles strand. Enjoy! […]
A 7 minute podcast about the Personal Professional Sessions. Enjoy!

After discussing it for awhile they came up with two points: Articles aren’t good enough, and not enough people are posting. So they came up with a system to make sure […]
To follow up on my post: Changing a domain overnight, it’s been a week of ups and downs for sure. Monday, I kept getting a 500 server error on the Thinking Stick at it’s old home. jeff.scofer.com/thinkingstick/ and actually I’m still getting it and can’t figure out what I did. I contacted my host support and received this reply. Hello […]
It just keeps getting more interesting. This podcast is around the conversation that Ewan McIntosh started in his Keynote. I think this is our best conversation to date, because people are starting to feel more comfortable around the mic and the power of blogging/podcasting. We talk a lot about fear. Fear of blogging, fear of opening yourself up to a […]
So yesterday the Thinking Stick went down. You might have noticed the feed not working. If you recieve this I guess that means I was successful on moving the Thinking Stick to it’s new/own domain. More later as I continue to move the site.
