http://homepage.mac.com/s_sloan/iblog/B2009428235 This Blog is devoted to technology and how it is being applied in higher education. I am employed by San Jose State University but this weblog is not done on company time or using university computers. The opinions expressed are those of the writer and not the university. s_sloan@mac.com © Steve Sloan Fri, 22 Oct 2004 00:13:17 -0700 Fri, 22 Oct 2004 00:13:29 US/Pacific iBlog 1.3.1 New Entries Will Be Here! ]]> Fri, 22 Oct 2004 00:12:43 -0700 Abstract: Industry guru Bob Scoble reports new rumors of a MacTablet. I think this is sorely needed for education and I hope he is right. ]]> Sun, 15 Aug 2004 15:06:22 -0700 Abstract: I went to Microsoft and met Bob Scoble and several other talented individuals. ]]> Fri, 13 Aug 2004 07:12:08 -0700 Abstract: SJSU Professor Dennis Dunleavy is weblogging! I think use of weblogs by faculty is a wonderful innovation. His weblog is a great example. Dennis Dunleavy's weblog extends the reach of the classroom beyond the classroom and it invites the world into the classroom. ]]> Tue, 08 Jun 2004 09:57:05 -0700 Abstract: Apple has a history of defining the personal computer industry, but I think they are missing the boat by not producing a tablet Mac.
Steve, cast off your Newton nightmares and rescue this devoted Macophile before the dark side tempts me and I am gone, forever. ]]> Thu, 29 Apr 2004 18:55:37 -0700 Abstract: Yesterday when I was at work I checked my Email. There it was, my fonts, all 477K of them. ]]> Thu, 29 Jan 2004 05:17:34 -0800 Abstract: Adobe Customer Support Complaint!!! Today is seven days since I ordered my fonts. Yesterday, after my twelfth call to Adobe Customer Support, I learned that my fonts have been, or are being, mailed to me. The customer support rep said she didn't know when or from where. She said, "I am just a worker bee." ]]> Wed, 28 Jan 2004 06:45:19 -0800 Abstract: A definite Adobe customer complaint! After about ten calls to Adobe customer support I have gotten to speak to more nice people at Adobe; and I still do not have my fonts! ]]> Mon, 26 Jan 2004 21:16:13 -0800 Abstract: In this blog I have ragged on Quark more than once. My frustration in dealing with them has been mostly due to what in my opinion is poor customer service. I had decided to deal with Adobe and use Adobe InDesign where possible. Now I have had to deal with Adobe's customer service organization and in my opinion I have found the experience, unfortunately, about the same! ]]> Sun, 25 Jan 2004 19:27:12 -0800 Abstract: MacWorld 2004 was one of the best in years. Most of what I saw was evolutionary, not revolutionary, and that is okay. Mac OS X is built on a solid core and this is a good time for products to mature, evolve and the platform to entrench itself. ]]> Sun, 11 Jan 2004 10:06:05 -0800 Abstract: A MACWORLD FINALE, LIVE AGAIN (DAY TWO)... When I saw the roll out of "Garage Band" on a pretty poor web stream I said, "yea, whatever." I just saw the demo at the Apple booth. I take what I said back, this is a killer app! ]]> Fri, 09 Jan 2004 15:17:30 -0800 Abstract: A MACWORLD REPRISE, LIVE AGAIN (DAY TWO)... It was a good show. I had to come back. I spent more money! I want more than I can afford. Too much FUN!!! ]]> Fri, 09 Jan 2004 11:57:32 -0800 Abstract: AFTER MACWORLD... It was a good show. I didn't spend too much money. I found some things I wish I could buy... ]]> Wed, 07 Jan 2004 19:15:30 -0800 Abstract: MORE LIVE FROM MACWORLD... Most of the wireless access points at MacWorld don't work! ]]> Wed, 07 Jan 2004 16:47:05 -0800 Abstract: MORE LIVE FROM MACWORLD... Warning, I am blogging this! (I don't think David Pogue knew that when he described education is a "niche market" for Apple.) ]]> Wed, 07 Jan 2004 15:53:15 -0800
