This post continues my series on mobile learning development tools. Sun Computer has created software tools which help you author content for mobile devices. Earlier this year they released their code under open source. Here are some of the resources from Sun:

• Java Mobility Podcast
• NetBeans Software | NetBeans Mobility Pack Add-In
• NetBeans TV (Screencast Tutorials)
  • Creating a Mobile Application Menu Using Scalable Vector Graphics
  • Changing the Look and Feel of of a Mobile Application

I’m not even sure how I stumbled upon Galacticast, but lots of folks have been there before me! Remember, Back Off … or the Frog Gets It !!! (scroll to April 30, 2007).

How do you define the majority of learning that takes place in your organization? Is it all traditional? Do you feel that experimenting means trying eLearning? If most of your answers are "yes", you need to invest six minutes and watch my Learning is Flat webcast.

Before progressing further, let me thank Amar Dhaliwal and Ben Willis, both of whom are from Saba Software, Inc. They gave me permission to build upon their original presentation.

For my historical readers, hopefully you’ve figured out that this presentation echoes the theme of my blog: "Technical Knowledge Management Online Resources" as it relates to flattened learning. For instance from my eContent Blog:

• Jump Drive Learning
• Nerdcasts
• Screencasts
• Search Engines
• Social Bookmarking
• TechKnow Wiki

… and of course …

• Cyrus the Cat vs. the Lego Synchro Drive Robot

Unlike most older Facebook members, I’ve been on Facebook for a number of years thanks to a college email account. This has allowed me to interact with my children and their friends. For over two years I was the only pre 2000 Dartmouth alum. With Facebook expanding to businesses I am in a quandary when business associates send me "friend invites". Do I want them to see my children’s networks through me?? I know there is security, but it is not perfect. At one point this evening I almost used the "removed friend" command for a a number of folks … but this would also send the wrong message. Thus, my basic question, how much intermingling do we all want between work and our personal lives. I don’t know the answer to that question, but I would be very interested in hearing from those of you who are linked via Facebook to your college and high school aged children, and their friends.

If you’re interested in exploring this issue further, link to the Stanford / Always On Summit. One of the sessions was a panel discussion titled Social Networking 3.0. The CEO’s from some of the top social networking sites discussed the future of this web service. (Webinar | Podcast)

Ever been curious how wiretapping works these days? One of the podcasts to which I subscribe is Science Friday, and they recently had a show on this topic.  You can actually visit their web site and listen to excerpts, or download the entire show.  Discover how Sheriff Andy Taylor could have listened in on Otis! … or how in today’s world the NSA can monitor your own phone calls.
