a revolution without dancing...: February 2009

A revolution without dancing. Is hardly a revolution worth having. Using the wonders of Google, Skyline Inc. has just released it’s plagiarism-detector 8.0. It can check Word documents, PDFs, and power point presentations, among others. Against any published source on the internet, using Google’s search algorithms. Sounds like a much better source than Turnitin.com – and it also looks like it would be one heck of a lot cheaper! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

a revolution without dancing...: August 2008
http://rlablance.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
A revolution without dancing. Is hardly a revolution worth having. More Challenging than I thought. I find it strange how much thought and effort I put into the title and the about me section of this blog. Upon reflection, neither look as though they were given much effort I suppose. It's odd that I would sit and contemplate both for such a long time, but then, I suppose those first impressions do mean a lot. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). More Challenging than I thought.

a revolution without dancing...: Life at OGS
http://rlablance.blogspot.com/2009/06/life-at-ogs.html
A revolution without dancing. Is hardly a revolution worth having. Given that my internship for my public history program is already over half way complete, I thought it would be appropriate to. Share what it is that I've been doing. I'm working for the Ontario Genealogical Society (a real mouth full when you try and answer the phone! It is possible to move this machine, though it’s a tad on the cumbersome side – certainly not something to be taken lightly! Got anything you want digitized?

A revolution without dancing. Is hardly a revolution worth having. Twitter came up in class the other day and I just ran across this talk. By the co-founder about how the concept of instant updates came to be, and how it has evolved in such a short time. And while you're on TED, check out some of the other talks!

a revolution without dancing...: September 2009
http://rlablance.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
A revolution without dancing. Is hardly a revolution worth having. The Wonders of Digital Technology. I stumbled across an interesting Newsweek photo essay earlier today, which linked me to a Library of Congress exhibit. It's a collection of color photographs from Russia, taken between 1907 and 1915. Yes, I said. The Library of Congress has chosen to highlight certain images, but there are certain many more to enjoy - some of which you can see in the Newsweek article. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Novel History: Dabbling in the Digital Age
http://vicky-tran.blogspot.com/2009/01/dabbling-in-digital-age.html
Narrating the past in new ways. Saturday, January 31, 2009. Dabbling in the Digital Age. Photography is one of those activities that I can lose myself completely in. The hours I spend on it is time freely given (and hardly felt). Although I’ve been lucky enough to capture a few photographs that I’m pleased with (including the one above, which was modestly granted an honorable mention in the Geography Department’s fundraising contest. I’ve been wondering lately about whether history could benefit at...

A revolution without dancing. Is hardly a revolution worth having. Google, on your phone? Obviously if you have internet access on your phone, you can access google. But did you know you can. Google and search it that way? Try it for yourself - 800-GOOG-411 - Just say the business name/type and the city and it will give you results and will connect you automatically if you so wish.

a revolution without dancing...: Digital History in Review
http://rlablance.blogspot.com/2009/04/digital-history-in-review.html
A revolution without dancing. Is hardly a revolution worth having. Digital History in Review. Eight months ago I began the Public History. Program at the University of Western Ontario. I was wide-eyed and had no idea what to expect from any of my courses – especially digital history. It was the course that intimidated me the most, as it was the furthest from my comfort zone. The first lesson of that class: Don’t panic. Professor Bill Turkel. The hardware specialist, meanwhile, was completely outside my c...
