Testing Dragon app on the iPad

I haven’t posted anything in a long time just because I haven’t really had the time. But I got an iPad from work to test out and I decided to test out dictation software. I thought the best place to try that was on my blog so we’ll see how it works. Maybe I’ll post more often. I’m still amazed that Dragon software for the iPad is free. The app is very limited compared to what the full software on the Mac or PC would be but when all you really want to do is get some text into a computer this is a great way to do it.

Library Monk Lives!

Aside from being an archive of Twitter posts my blog was pretty dormant for 2009 and 2010. But I’m taking a class in Instructional Technology at UTK (thank you UT staff fee waiver) IT 566 that’s being taught online almost exclusively through blogs and Twitter.

So there’s a new category for the class and an associated RSS feed for those that want to follow along.

Sometime I’ll probably put a fresh coat of paint on here. The design I’m currently using is a custom WordPress theme I designed in January 2006. After five years it could use an update.
