Little Projects

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I’ve been keeping busy with some little projects, things like adding the Friends in Tech logo to the top of the page, to officially “flag” myself as a member of that group as well as thinking about ways to leverage the group resources there to benefit the readers here and visa versa, or adding Google Analytics to the entire site, to get a bit more information on who’s visiting pages other than the blog, like the photo gallery and such.

I’ve also started using the FlickrMap to identify where the pictures I’ve loaded up to Flickr where taken, albeit some of them are more guesstimate than an exact location. I don’t know how useful that feature is, but I think it’s an interesting way to look at the pictures I’ve taken places compared to what others have taken. On the other hand, some places already have so many photos that they all seem lost in the shuffle.

Like I said, nothing major but I’m hoping these little changes help make it easier for me to bring interesting content to the site, and make the site more useful for all of us.

    Reading some of this report about what Bill had to say about blogs, I’d have to say that this is exactly what I’m trying to get people here to understand, but it’s also what I think they’re afraid of!

    An interesting article and discussion over at PocketPC Thoughts about all the places that don’t allow cameras, for various reasons, and what people who still want to be able to take their cell phones and/or PDA’s with them are going to be running in to. Personally I think there are going to be more and…

    I got an early morning email from the ABA Journal today announcing some new features. The most intriguing one to me is Blawg Search: We’ve partnered with Justia.com, the leading legal information portal, to create a search engine covering all of the 1,800-plus blogs in our directory — including yours. It’s like Google for lawyers,…

    I was watching this video of a Google Talk by Max Stossel recently. It’s a bit long by internet standards, and his poetic style might take a minute to get used to, but it’s well worth thinking about. Even if you only watch the first ten minutes, do it. (But really, set some time aside…
