KM. I finished the reporting end of the Internet Client traffic monitor. Lawyers will see the number of hits in the last seven days and the last 30 days appear in their portals when they log in. If they choose they can click on the client name and see which pages the visitor looked at. I also added a little subversion to the mix. I created a page that shows the top client hits - and I included the non-clients on the same page. In other words, handle your business ... but think beyond...
We also went global with the portal today (2:30 AM). No technical problems. The comments have been relatively positive so far. A few people want to go back to the old static page with the picture of dead white guys... but that's not going to happen. I was impressed with how quickly, particularly the lawyers, took to the personalized link component. Nice job guys! [How do you know that?]

BRC 2002 Events: Hickman Lecture. Quote: "When Dewey was asked to characterize his own work, he invariably located education at its very center. He described his 1916 work, Democracy and Education, for example, as one of his most important books. Nevertheless, his relation to public school education in the United States is perhaps best described as paradoxical. On one side, it can be said that he was probably the single most important educational theorist of the twentieth century. On the other side, it is a notorious fact that many of his ideas have been massively distorted by admirers and critics alike, and that American educators in general have yet to come to terms with his work, in the sense of putting it to rigorous test. "
Comment: Very nice overview of Dewey's thought including the genesis of it in his 1896 paper on the reflexive arc. [Serious Instructional Technology]

The CIO of Utah gets it. Surprisingly cool find: the weblog of the CIO of Utah, Phil Windley. Seems sharp and generally clueful, as evidenced by Blogs for System Status Communications:
My organization operates hundreds of servers in several data centers and a network that connects over 250 separate locations. One of the problems we have is status communication to various interested parties. Tonight I decided we should have a system status blog that uses categories with separate RSS feeds for various severity levels and systems. For the low price of $40/year we could have:
- One easy spot to post status announcements, which would be ordered in exactly the right way.
- A web-based record of status.
- Multiple RSS feeds of the various systems and severity levels.
- Easy integration into the personalization feature of our intranet; RSS feeds would show up as gadget boxes for people who want them.
- The ability to easily subscribe to RSS feeds and digest them in various ways for people with special needs.
How could you not like that? [jarretthousenorth News]
