Tagging experiment
I’ll be the first to admit I’m a little behind with tagging. At first I didn’t get it, but I’m starting to see benefits. I can’t articulate them entirely yet, but after I play with them a bit more and really start to use the concept across some applications hopefully I can define the usefulness […]
Typepad down?
I just tried accessing several Typepad blogs and I’m getting the same error for each:
Not a podcast

I don’t particularly care about what they had to say, but for some reason I was curious about this podcast. So, I […]

The Weblogs Inc network, despite having many great blogs, was itself “big media” in the blog world. You just have […]

New River Valley job incubator
I’ve been in DC the past two days so I originally missed this article, but there was another mention of the VT KnowledgeWorks dedication ceremony this past weekend by Andrew Kantor of the Roanoke Times. There’s a little more detail in this one with regards to square footage cost, the facility’s funding, and the different […]
Portaqua in Roanoke Times
One of the member companies in VT KnowledgeWorks, Portaqua, will soon be launching its portable system that purifies and packages drinking water. There’s some coverage at the Roanoke Times.
