Today I’m Famous
Published 7 May 2005
I spent this morning speaking on a panel at a local technology forum, and achieving a slightly unsettling expert status among local high school students. It actually turned out to be great fun, with lots of interesting questions and perspectives. I was a good 10 years younger than the others on the panel, which gave me a kind of street cred with the audience. That, and I didn’t wear a suit.
I made my way back into work to find that my interview with Karine from collegeweditor.com had been published. So now I am experiencing high blog traffic (for me, anyway). Welcome, new readers!
An update on the status of Part 3 of Why Most University Web Sites Suck: it is in the works. Some turmoil at work and my dog getting surgery has set me back a bit. I was hoping to get it out before the interview, but sometimes life just happens. Things are moving forward now. Expect it in a week or two.

andrea…i enjoyed reading the interview and learning things I didn’t know, like your job as a museum web goddess.
You are spot on about the biggest challenge for college webmasters…university reaction time is vastly longer than internet reaction time…ahhhhh, but I’m always up for a good challenge!

Love your rant on college websites. I also have pointed people to your blog because I think you make some extraordinary observations that folks need to hear. Nice work! Can’t wait for Part 3!
