getting dragged away August 29, 2008
Posted by kieslinger in : Uncategorized , add a commentI am in the middle of preparing my presentation for the EDUTEC 2008 conference, for which I have been invited to talk about “Uso de software social en el contexto educativo y desarollo de entornos de aprendizaje personalizado”.
So the talk will be in Spanish. Going to be an exciting experience for me and for the audience 
Well, but while I have been preparing the talk now, I was checking some of the Web 2.0 applications for some examples and this is when I got dragged away. For the first time I designed and ordered a t-shirt at Spreadshirt. Really nice and easy. Let’s hope that my friend will like the t-shirt I ordered for her.
Anyway, it has happened to me rather often that I was doing one thing and then I got dragged away by something else. Especially when I am looking for something on the Internet. I suppose that this happens to a lot of people. It’s also a nice way of discovering something new.
BUT, now I have to hurry to finish my presentation.

Posted by kieslinger in : news , add a commentAs a few agencies have reported recently, a team of researchers at Microsoft seems to have repeated Milgram’s small world experiment from which he drew his concept of “Six Degree’s of Separation”, namely that each person on the globe is connected to each other via approximately six contacts or links.
According to the news the researchers at Microsoft were basing their experiment on Microsoft Messenger users. They might never have reached me then
