  1. @tildedave: no 1 device will ever serve everyone. Menus won't help phys. disabled. It's the idea of "one size fits all" that's the problem.
  2. @tildedave: diff rules for diff media aren't reasonable. Saying we must ensure access is diff from saying we must ensure *Kindle* access.
  3. @tildedave: the question is, why? With books it's enough to provide an alternative (audio, Braille). Why are electronic devices different?
  4. @tildedave: This is round 2. Syracuse and UW-Madison are trying to avoid ASU's fate: http://bit.ly/4riw3X DOJ complaints are also involved.
  5. @cheeky_geeky: What boggles me is why they expect web trends to say anything useful about an API-based service.
  6. @jesuismoi @tildedave I'm sympathetic to the goal, I just think that preventing universities, of all places, from trying new tech is silly.
  7. @tildedave: maybe, but nonsense lawsuit. We assist students w/ books, Ynot w/ Kindle? Y does the tech suddenly have to support use directly?
  8. @jesuismoi: Voice activation would make it better for the physically disabled, too, but it's insane to expect new tech to support everyone.
  9. @tildedave: the Kindle supports reading most books aloud, in contrast to the extremely limited number of braille books out there.
  10. RT @cksample: do regular books & book publishers get criticized for not supporting the blind? why is the Kindle getting heat for the same?
  11. "Cover Shmover: Judge an Old Book by Its Odor" - http://shar.es/ay30s [wired.com]
  12. Blackberry found. In the same pocket I have been looking in twice-a-day for a week.
  13. RT @bcbray: Second Life Duty Now Required for Penn State's Online Advisers http://bit.ly/1jetI
  14. RT @fakeapstylebook: If your story is about ninjas, be sure to mention them in the first sentence. If it's not, why isn't it?
  15. RT @garay: poll re #HigherEd LMS and/or other #EdTech tools plans (2 years from now) at http://bit.ly/1451lX #Educause09 #eLearning:
  16. REthingking my chapter on Google Books...Because Google is rethinking Google Books....
  17. @cksample: np. Puzzles are always fun.
  18. Port scanning my labs. So far it looks like we've done a better job hardening things than I would have guessed.
  19. @mrenoch: Thanks! That's getting closer.
  20. Looking for a twitter app that doesn't seem to exist: given a term, say, #educause09, tell me what topics trend with it. #hotathashtag ?
