Dole Institute to host panel discussion on military blogs LAWRENCE — As a follow-up to a successful program in early 2007 on political Weblogs, the Dole Institute of Politics will host a panel discussion about another dynamic and growing community on the Internet: military blogs (also known as “milblogs”). Blogs from the front lines in Iraq... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/01/hmmm_its_lunch.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/01/hmmm_its_lunch.html Fri, 18 Jan 2008 12:06:59 -0600 It being in Lawrence, I reckon I wouldn't be welcome there wearing my Quantrill t-shirt? Actually, I could prolly get away with, considering the abysmal historical ignorance of most people these days. The Armorer might knock me down and kick me, though. At least the feminists would be on my side; Quantrill only murdered white males. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/01/hmmm_its_lunch.html#comment-68817 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/01/hmmm_its_lunch.html#comment-68817 Sat, 19 Jan 2008 16:34:48 -0600 I'm on it. I'll even bring the video camera.

Kat: Dole Institute, KU, like is says in the presser... I bet you can find it, Lawrence isn't that big! http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/01/hmmm_its_lunch.html#comment-68802 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/01/hmmm_its_lunch.html#comment-68802 Sat, 19 Jan 2008 07:13:50 -0600 http://activedutypatriot.blogspot.com/2008/01/wanted-bloggers-especially-military.html has details. Otherwise, we probably couldn't fly you out, but I know there are some buses going, and you're still more than welcome to attend and blog it!]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/01/hmmm_its_lunch.html#comment-68801 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/01/hmmm_its_lunch.html#comment-68801 Sat, 19 Jan 2008 05:37:49 -0600 Hey, maybe you could get it flash-video'd and then you-tubed. Talk about tech changes... A friend of mine teaches on-line courses for a college out west. He does it from his home in CA, using podcasts and Adobe's WebConnect live. He plans to have me participate sometime in March, I think, probably as an example of a lab-rat who lived... :-) Really though, I'm in Texas, he's in CA, his students are from all over the place, and we're all going to be live together for a couple hours one night. I've got years of experience with two-way video education and web-curriculum development, and 70-80% of my college degree work is non-traditional (i.e., not on campus, not in classrooms), but to be honest, this is new territory even for me--and a bit daunting. I'm ugly in person and unfortunately, I know what I look like on a video screen, but even so, I can only guess at what I'll look like through a webcam. Yucch. But it should be interesting. And I'd sure like to see your stuff, John. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/01/hmmm_its_lunch.html#comment-68799 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/01/hmmm_its_lunch.html#comment-68799 Fri, 18 Jan 2008 23:22:23 -0600 I wrote a bit ago...and maybe got ate by the dungeon trolls...that I'd like to know exactly the location of this panel so I could make kat calls from the back...er...ask pertinent questions of the panelists. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/01/hmmm_its_lunch.html#comment-68797 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/01/hmmm_its_lunch.html#comment-68797 Fri, 18 Jan 2008 22:52:52 -0600 As a graduate of the William Allen White School of Journalism I commend you. However you really need to get your shots updated. If things haven't changed the journos there are an alien life form. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/01/hmmm_its_lunch.html#comment-68795 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/01/hmmm_its_lunch.html#comment-68795 Fri, 18 Jan 2008 19:14:53 -0600 I did install a new choklit cannon. Y'know, this is going to perplex the normals (as in non-blog-regulars, Ry) who show up because of David telling his students to read the blog. Hi there, Students of Perlmutter!!! Um, one thing you guys do have to have clear in your minds... I'm a Mizzou grad, my father I both played ball at Mizzou (well, I practiced more than I played) and I firmly believe in Rock Chalk, Chickenhawk, ***** KU! when it comes to athletic endeavors. But I'm usually polite when I'm on-campus because I'm well past the time in my life when brawling is fun. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/01/hmmm_its_lunch.html#comment-68783 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/01/hmmm_its_lunch.html#comment-68783 Fri, 18 Jan 2008 15:09:26 -0600 No more than usual, anyway. It's the whole *less* than usual deal (resulting in chocolate syrup and stale cheese puffs stuck to the cushions) that raises eyebrows in High Places... *loading the crushed ice chamber in the 'ritamatic* ]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/01/hmmm_its_lunch.html#comment-68781 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/01/hmmm_its_lunch.html#comment-68781 Fri, 18 Jan 2008 15:02:27 -0600 Um, no.

But now that you're gettin' all respectable, does that mean we have to behave ourselves 'round here? ;) http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/01/hmmm_its_lunch.html#comment-68777 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/01/hmmm_its_lunch.html#comment-68777 Fri, 18 Jan 2008 13:42:39 -0600
