Yep, We’re Celebrating Here!

[twocol_one]Ten years ago, in April, 2004, my blog, timtyson.us, was born. At the time I really didn’t much know what a blog actually was. I was curious about it, though, thinking that it might be a great resource for educators. So, I started my own, to see if this tool is something a teacher might find helpful. I quickly found… Continue reading

Simply Elated @SlideShowPro

Image via CrunchBase I get excited about odd things.  I know.  Can’t help it.  It’s just me. I’ve written about my abiding love of @SlideShowPro Director, which I use to manage all of the photographs here at timtyson.us as well my digital video.  It took me years to get my head around that system.  And because I do not use… Continue reading

Pardon This Geek Moment

Mother will hate this post. Last year, for the first time, I created a Season’s Greetings banner that popped up (using MediaboxAdv) when you first hit my blog.  This year, when I went to operationalize that same code, things were not very straight forward.  This post is to remind me next year how to do this€”sort of a note to… Continue reading

Every time I would attempt to do anything, MT would log me out. I had never… Continue reading

I’ve been insanely busy, primarily with exploring new technology platforms.  The fruits of these explorations will soon be evident here at… Continue reading

My New Team of Blogging Assistants

Yes, I’ve gotten lazy with blogging and decided to “hire” a team of assistants.  We’ll see how it goes. So, let me introduce you to the team: Zemanta, a plugin I just discovered.  The plugin can interface with your blogging system (which is what I’ve chosen) or your browser. In my MovableType posting window, I have a new column from… Continue reading

ecto Rocks

I have been using a little program called ecto for almost as long as I have been blogging–around May, 2004. ecto (yes, properly not capitalized) is a little desktop application that links to a large number of the most popular blogging platforms and allows users to quickly and easily post content. For example: the Mac version links directly to your… Continue reading
