Tried, but it was furstrating. I prefer Bento from Filemaker which has recently been released for the iPhone. See

It's really cool. I met another iPhone orchestra on youtube which is called iBand. They play pretty good. You'll also like it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2RZkiUDUEw

I agree with David Wiley's notion that this is the age of creating, in addition to consuming. Music making is certainly one of the greatest goal of music education.

I had a little tape recorder back in 1999 and I was playing around the sampling idea. Somebody gave me a microwave (I was too poor to afford one) and I wrote a little fun tune in return, using the sampled sound (of the secretly recorded one note from the giver, and the microwave itself):

Tools today are much more mature than 1999 and I do think that musical projects Cole suggests will take the function and engagement of Digital Commons to the next level.

Comment on "Community Tags"

I saw a presentation from Steve.Museum about creating communal tags or "folksonomies" for museum collections.

http://conference.archimuse.com/jtrants/stevemuseum_research_report_available

They found that 86% of tags people used were not those chosen by curators. If nothing else, it's a good way to determine how your audience is classifying your content.

Comment on "Community Tags"

I think this is a good idea as we continue to push into the whole community/aggregate/PSU Voices arena.

Would tags submitted by another user have to identified as such?

Would community-contributed tags affect the user's tag cloud?

Does this interfere with the personal content management model? I think it would be awesome to allow others to contribute to that tag cloud as my identity.

Does it make for sense to use a model where I can not only add tags to others' entries, but view my own cloud of tags I have added. In other words, I can see a cloud of how Cole has imposed tags on blogs@psu, and a cloud of how Brad has tagged it.

I am thinking of some hybrid of tagging with delicious and adding the tags directly to the content a la flickr.

I think it would make sense if it was something you could turn on and off as an administrator of the blog. I like the idea.

FWIW - See

My suggestions for quickly adding "psuets" tag to posts.

For 5 years after this I had to recreate that first class folder structure every semester. There were a lot of nested folders in there.

What is the status for departments, centers and institutes, who wish to develop a blog spot - there seems to be a large opportunity and interest in this space

Comment on "Twitter in Plain English"

Sat, 07 Jun 2008 03:04:08 -0500

I recently joined Twitter solely because of the peer pressure I faced from all my friends and followers on Mixx constantly raving about it.

In about 3 weeks since I became a member, I've posted twice, neither of which was anything meaningful or of consequence.

I haven't yet figured out why everyone raves about it so much....

Just fixed it! Thanks for noticing ... someone is reading! Nope, no son to announce -- that I know of ;-)

I have a full out description, slides, and a (son to be released) podcast

Okay, I have to admit, I was scanning this post quickly, but did a double take with that parenthetical comment. I'm guessing the podcast is soon to be released, instead of announcing a son... but just to be sure, I'm going to get more coffee before I follow the link to the updates blog.

Sweet movie. Twitter was how a group of us who work together found we had a common interest in running and working out. Now we go to the gym together.

Correct me if I am wrong, but here in the EU also a lot of noise came around this impossibility to delete your profile.

I heard they changed a lot, deleting your account is now easier and... sum of members dropped.

Even in our Dutch equivalent Hyves it is very difficult to delete your profile :(
