Just a heads-up as I have yet to listen to it, but John Willinsky was recently interviewed on IT Conversations. John was one of the more interesting speakers at Northern Voice last year and someone whose work I really admire. If this isn’t worth listening to, I’m sure someone will let me know!

That’s when goalie Galen Lott made a key save and Brian McKim, Patrick Evans, Austin Hinzman and finally Carson scored to secure the Phoenix win over a Mat-Su team that had beaten them two weeks earlier at the Ina K tourney. (full article)

Congratulations Galen and the rest of the Phoenix 92 team for the championship and a bit of revenge (we just lost to the same team in the finals of the Ina K tournament a few weeks ago). We talked to some of the Mat-Valley players after the game and they were gracious and looking forward to a possible rematch in State Cup. Let’s hope that comes in the finals…

And for the family who is reading this, here are a few shots of Galen (click the photos for the larger versions). This from the current tournament:

And this from a few weeks before (gotta love those soccer tans):

A well done remix of the Glumbert Shift Happens presentation…

A good observation as we get spread thinner and thinner across our social networks… not only does our attention to others not scale, but our ability to manage the social applications to direct our own attention doesn’t either!

I was just thinking a few hours ago about all the ways I can bring a resource into my social mesh and what each says about the importance and/or utility and or future use of the item. Clearly, writing a blog post about a link is the most directed and implies importance. But putting that link into del.icio.us feeds into more linkstreams and networks and implies that the link will be important to come back to. And what about items that are shared from my feed reader? Or Twittered? It’s not likely I will take the time to duplicate in multiple applications (most of the time), but the action taken for each remains significant.

Visualizing the congressional earmarks (fiscal appropriations slipped into various pieces of legislation)… Alaska makes out pretty well per capita!
