Web 2.0 Checklist-Interestingly created on a Web 2.0 app (via Waxy)
After playing around with a variety of linkblog solutions, including WordPress plugins and My Web 2.0, I found a decent guide in the Codex on how to build one. It even told me how to put them into the blog next to the regular entries. Hopefully, I’ll be able to post more with the link blog, which I’ll be calling Asides like Photo Matt does. If you like the links, here’s the RSS Feed.
Make your own linkblog with WordPress-put them on side or inside your blog
Why are the calendars so bad in Berkeley? The events calendar by the school is decent, and they even offer a calendar app for staff. Student groups though aren’t really allowed to post on it. The best calendar we had was live.berkeley.edu, but the project was taken down and still lacked a few features I would have liked (RSS feeds for one). The One calendar replaced it, but stinks so bad. There’s this dream calendar though that does have a prototype version up. Maybe just maybe it’ll work soon…

Me and Sergey Brin, Co-founder of Google
One of those nerdy cool things, Sergey Brin, the co-founder of Google, spoke at my search engine class. I got a photo with him.
From Wikipedia:
“Sergey Brin (born August 1973 in Moscow, Russia) is an American entrepreneur. Born in Russia, Brin studied computer science and mathematics before co-founding Google with Larry Page. Brin is the President of Technology at Google and has a net worth estimated at seven billion U.S. dollars.”
Update: Newscenter had a story on it. “Google cofounder Sergey Brin comes to class at Berkeley“
