Fediwall: Social media wall for the Fediverse

Does anyone remember TwitterCamp? It was an Adobe Air application that displayed tweets of a specific parameter, like a user name or hashtag. We used it on a big screen in the lobby for Faculty Academy at the University of mary Washington all the way back in 2008 2007 (Editors note – Alan Levine points out that it was 2007 – I should read my blog posts more closely). Anyone who tweeted using the hashtag #FacultyAcademy would get their posts included on the big screen.

Well, I recently discovered Fediwall which seems to be something that looks very similar to TwitterCamp, only for the Fediverse. I’ve just started playing with it but it could serve conferences who want to move to federated social media, as way to encourage attendees to share their Fediverse findings.

Daring Fireball: Golfo del Gringo Loco

I think John Gruber has the right take on a relatively unimportant topic (or perhaps I should say, not the uppermost priority) that also serves as one of Trump’s classic examples of distraction.

There are other places around the world where Apple and Google show downright crazy or incorrect things on maps. The latter have one thing in common: they are to comply with the demands of countries governed by thin-skinned autocratic men who surround themselves with sycophants.

I wrote a thing for our CIRT News (blog);

Content Creation 2.0 – Empowering Learning Through Digital Agility, Equity, and Educational Technology

Anything with references to Tressie McMillan Cottom and Gardner Campbell is worth checking out, right?

Digital agility is the ability to navigate and make meaning amid an abundance of information in an ever-present, ever-shifting digital landscape.

Can Gemini 2.0 Teach Final Cut Pro?

Can Gemini 2.0 Teach Final Cut Pro?

A fascinating and ultimately humorous video of Mark Spencer from Ripple Training (who I’ve purchased training and plugins for Final Cut) attempting to have Google’s Gemini 2.0 teach HIM Final Cut Pro. Fascinating that it can “see” his screen and know he’s in the Final Cut app – humorous in the number of times Mark has to correct the “trainer”. The following quote is said at least a 1/2 dozen times:

“You are correct. I apologize for the confusion.”

Still a ways to go and lots of obvious human interaction (or general humanity) implications!
