It’s been a rocky relationship, and now it’s over. You really thought doubling the monthly rate would keep customers around? Later.

48:365 World Autism Awareness Day by Matt Beckwith
I, like many others, have been profoundly impacted by Autism. For me, it was the son of a co-worker who opened my eyes to the disorder. He is a very awesome kid who I fortunately was able to spend some quality time with. I watched him mature from a boy who would ask for food or water by taking you by the hand and putting it on the refrigerator or cupboard, to a pretty regular teenager who complained about mowing the lawn (I supervised) and loved to dance to reggae music (his lead). We’ve since moved out of visiting range (different continents) but I think about him every single day.
I put together this comprehensive list of autism resources as part of coursework for IST605 – Information Resources – Users & Services with my young friend in mind. It’s divided into a number of sections:
Authoritative Internet Resources
Audio Visual Resources
Print Resources
Database Resources

Sara Naim - Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata
As if my mind hasn’t expanded enough through all the readings, exercises, lectures and related course material. I was flat-out bowled over when I came across the work of Sara Naim.
She photographs sounds.
Crazy, right? Sara is an internationally-acclaimed photographer who, as you could imagine, is doing some pretty interesting work. Her photography of sounds was part of a study she did of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata.
This body of work looks at translating sound into a photographic image. Ludwig Van Beethoven’s symphony vibrates through milk. He composed this piece in the early 1800’s for his blind pupil and lover, Giuletta Gucciardi. Gucciardi said to Beethoven that she wished she could see the moonlight. Beethoven then composed a piece about the moonlight’s reflection off Austria’s Lake Lucerne, called Moonlight Sonata.
What she does really changes the perceptions Continued…

stop! by StartTheDay
Because we’re connections, it doesn’t give you the right to automatically add me to whatever email list you send out. I’m not interested in:
Peruvian, Greek, or Brazilian vacation properties (or any real estate properties), healthy relationship retreats, secrets of Executive Leadership, any seminar (be it web or otherwise) on accountability or anything else
I’m also not interested in in joining your real estate club, your investment banking forum, invites welcome or whatever LinkedIn group you’re starting.
I’m pretty aware of what’s out there and, believe me, I have no problem finding it on my own.

Joshua Kitlas' Spring Semester 2011 Week 1 Word Cloud
I’m taking (gulp) 4 courses this semester:
IST600 – Information Design – Spring 2011 (m004)
IST614 – Management Principles for Info. Professionals
IST618 – Survey of Telecom. and Info. Policy – Spring 2011 (M003)
IST659 – Data Admin. Concepts and Database Mgmt. – Spring 2011 (M003)
I thought it would be interesting to do a word cloud of every digital thing related to these courses for the first week (this includes, syllabi, assignment overviews, readings, and my own essays). I first copy pasted each course and generated a word cloud of the top 50 words. I did this because there were far more digital items in some courses than others and wanted to give all courses a fair shot.
