Too many new tricks for an old dog

September 21, 2011 by Uppity Wisconsin

This may be more than an old dog can cope with.

 Changes in how Facebook works, when I had just figured out the old system.

A whole new look for Blogger's dashboard.

And now a new look for Uppity Wisconsin.

If they change my email, I'm going off the grid.

Woof!

 

Mobile App for Uppity Wisconsin available for Android

September 11, 2011 by Uppity Wisconsin

Android MarketThe first version of the Uppity Wisconsin App for Android is now available in the Android Market. If you go to the web site from an Android phone you'll now be given the choice of going to the mobile version of the web site, or downloading the Android App from the Market.  The application is free (though it is advertising supported).  This is a first pass at the mobile app, but has quite a lot of functionality already.  Read articles, look at our Facebook and YouTube pages, our twitter stream, and send articles to Facebook or Twitter right from your phone.

We're also working on an Iphone version of the app, which will probably be available some time before the end of the month.  Let us know what you think!

Walker Tries To Deflect Devastating Cuts-To-Education Story

September 7, 2011 by The Political E...

Two things interest me about the news that Wisconsin finds itself #1 on a list of states in per-pupil school aid cuts.

As the reporting expanded Tuesday on JS online, Walker's flack got into the story with the Governor's tag line that the state had given local districts the "tools" to better manage the cuts.

They've been on that talking-point relentlessly for months, as if that compensates for the impact of the cuts in classrooms and on programs - - but give them credit for message discipline.

It's also interesting to see this story migrate from the policy group that posted it last week to Facebook, where I saw it Sunday, to the blogs (I posted it also Sunday, and moved it to Twitter, too) to the mainstream media earlier Tuesday.

Many bloggers often repost traditional newspaper items.
