POSTEROUS!

Check out my posterous account at http://jwaldock.posterous.com/

I started a Posterous account as my Thing #1 for 17 Things to Chew On. I hadn't really heard about Tumblr or Posterous prior to today. I had seen "Tumblr" referenced on various websites and what not but never understood that these sites are like mini-blogs. I like the idea of not having to always log into the blog itself to make a post. Having the flexibility to post short blasts from my phone or email is great. I can literally post on the run! (Now I just need to get a group of followers who will actually care about what I post)!

Perhaps that group could be students! I could see using this Posterous account to post interesting things that are happening in the math world, education world, or pop-culture world. Things that might interest my students. I could require them to have an account that would allow them to make comments to my posts. Hmmm....we'll see where this goes.

For now - enjoy a few random pictures of former SEE Team students, my nephew Sam, and me, currently in the RB lab working on this post!

Thing 8 - Flickr Account

I just joined the world of Flickr. I am a Facebook-er and typically just post pictures to that site, but Flickr may be another option to showcase photos to friends and family who have not yet given in to the Facebook craze.

I uploaded a few pictures of a book I made for my nephews and niece, as well as some photos from my travels in southern Africa this summer. My Flickr name is 'jwaldock.'
