Danielle M. Villegas‘s insight:

Considering that I still use my grad school email address….I’ve noticed. I’m suddenly getting spam in that account that I never got before coming through, and it’s annoying. To me, this is bad customer service for educational institutions. For those who use Google email and other student services honestly, it puts a LOT of people at risk. It’s not just higher ed, but K-12 as well, I’m sure. Not a good move, Google.  People need to simply learn to check their junk mail folder if they are expecting something. I’m always checking it, just to be sure.

As I am both a Geek Mom and a knitter, this caught my attention. We already have machines to make fabrics, both woven and knitted. Is this the next step in fiber evolution? And there are claims that it could be used for more? Cool.

This is one of those fun things that as a geek mom, I had to share. I also think it’s a cool project to do if you have the parts. This is the sort of thing I would’ve loved to have done as a kid. (I do want to get my hands on a Raspberry Pi at some point!) Watch the video in the article. It’s not practical, but it’s still pretty cool.

Charlie Southwell (@charliesaidthat) brought this article to my attention. It’s an interesting analysis on how to bring content strategy together. As Rahel Bailie posted on Charlie’s Facebook account where he posted this, she noted that much of this article could be talked at even longer length about some of these components, and she’s right.  Take a look, and see what you think…I think much of it makes a lot of sense.
