Re: Sunday, July 21, 2002
Doc and Alan Reiter finally convinced me to put up a weblog. (Now I need to redesign my website so that Alan can take off his sun glasses when he reads the yellow text on a red back ground.) This is going to be an interesting adventure. (Should I replace the default Radio Userland coffee cup with the photo Doc took of me wearing my beret when we were in Alaska, or should I do something graphic? I think there should be a site where you can take a photo of yourself and format it like one of Warhol's solarized painted photos so everyone can get serious about their 15 nanoseconds of Internet fame.) The Tsunami BLOG 2002 registration page will actually be on the University at Sea web site, (http://www.continuingeducation.net/coursedetails.php?program_number=67), rather than the Just Cruisin' Plus Wi-FI 2002 page. Same cruise ship and dates but better rates for Blogger's who just want to spend one or two weeks in the Caribbean, and perhaps not attend seminars all of the time they are on the cruise ship. (Alan Reiter would appreciate it if someone would come listen to him give a keynote speech.) As is typical these days, the University at Sea site for MOUStech.NET needs to be updated with more information. I need to stop volunteering for so many community projects and work on my web sites. The original idea for the BLOG cruise is all Doc's, although he is too busy to get involved with this one. However, I expect this to be a regular cruise offering with MOUStech.NET: to get bloggers onboard to take advantage of the wireless Internet access, even if they do not want to attend seminars, which will be offered for cruise seminars with other names, such as Wi-Fi 2002 or Project CREWS. (Do I assume there is a slacker blogger subculture that can afford to take two weeks off for a cruise?) I am trusting that Doc will be the keynote speaker in 2003 or 2004 at one of the BLOG cruises. I'd even let him name the cruise theme. (Tsunami is the default SSID for all Cisco access points.)
