I’m intrigued by the semantic web possibilites of loopt. The application uses your GPS in the cellphone to track where you are—and your friends.
Now that could be cool. You put in “pizza” and it tells you where a good pizza place is within your friend radius. This could have really cool uses for student trips.
Obviously, this can be troubling as well (”why is my girlfriend at that restaurant with Bobby?”).
Apparently wordpress added a function that makes links out of keywords (like “Job” below). I am not doing this. An attempt to make money (which I applaud) but it certainly changes the function of a post. Those are not MY links.
What to do? It might be time to switch services.
This week is an exercise in positive thinking. Our superintendent has forwarded a 0% increase budget to the Board of Education which has resulted in 18 job losses. Yours truly included.
A new job was desired. I spent the previous two years earning a new degree and administrative certificate. Now a new job is inevitable. I am trying to leverage all that I have learned in the past three years teaching and leading technology change into a new path for a career.
Needless to say, not where I thought I would be, but I do think new doors will be opened. Forced open.
