Short blogz. »
I forgot that a blog does not necessarily have to be lon in content to be a blog. Maybe this is why I have problems writing something regularly is because I think that I always have to attempt a treatise on some specific subject in order for it to be worthwhile. There is some truth to this, but it still doesn't change the validity of a short [...]
Interesting…I am STILL #1 »
I am still the number one person in the 'Ramon Lazo' category on Google. The first entry is rl:ID blog -- THIS blog. My latest portfolio is sitting on design2.ramonlazo.net. I haven't been able to use SEF on it yet. It's still buggy and frankly, a headache to clean up properly. I'll eventually get it up and running and when it does, [...]
I’ve changed…. »
New changes for the new year on this site. Firstly, this here website is using a brand new template design called the 640 Magazine Template. It's meant to mimic the templates used by most of the online newspapers: New York Times, Christian Science Monitor, Los Angeles Times, etc... It is a very CLEAN and SLEEK template that doesn't [...]
Time to change the website! »
Seems like right now is a good time to change the face of good old rl:ID. Time for a *happier* look and so that is why the reason for all this. You'll all have to excuse the look of this site for the next couple of days as I move things around. Ultimately, this spot will look nicer and become easier to use as well as have new stuff like [...]
Happy New Year!! »
The time for change is here, now, in America. It's going to be a fascinating and marvelous New Year: Dems are in power, Obama seems to be heading in the right direction in terms of fixing the financial mess we're in and currently I am looking for a new instructional design job. Yes...my time with the Silicon Valley startup is done. It's [...]
HOORAY! We won DevLearn 2008 »
Just a brief gloat on our recent achivement: http://www.elearningguild.com/content.cfm?selection=doc.1017 I would like to thank all the members of the Academy for...oops* wrong show. Really, though...it was truly a team effort. All of the actors in the vid are real employess of LiveOps in Santa Clara, CA. We literally shot most of the [...]
Video killed the Flash star…. »
I've been doing quite a bit of video work lately. Funny thing -- my background prior to becoming an instructional designer was a recording engineer and then, later, a record producer. I got my Broadcast Communications degree (really, on my diploma it says Radio & Television) from San Francisco State University, one of the best programs in [...]
WordCamp SF 2008 — I can’t wait »
So, I went ahead and put up the WordCamp event on my calendar and now I am creating a post for this event. I can't wait. It's the first time I'm going to this thing and the first time to visit the Mission Bay Campus. I think it will be fun. I also got a scholarship to go -- the nice people at Auttomatic heard my pleas and granted my wish [...]
Adobe Photoshop online…and beyond… »
(Ellipses...are fun...!) San Jose Mercury News online reported early this morning that Adobe is getting into the online photo editing/hosting business with it's new venture Photoshop Express. The article thinks that this may be too little too late because of the other services that already exist on the Internet and who already have many, [...]
Course Conversion: class time to online and what it »
Consider this: you have three full years or 6 semesters of custom coursework that you have developed for your class in Speech and Communication Studies. You now have an opportunity to take this class to an online system. After you have followed most of the configuration and administration requirements for your institution, the next step then is to [...]
