An article Amber and I wrote about Hello (this site) is featured in the April, 2008 issue of Stratenotes. Watch for it!

Imagine my surprise when I pulled the latest Stratenotes from my mailbox and saw my name (and Amber’s, too) on the front page. Twice. A big thank you to Don for promoting the work we do at Stratepedia.
As Don mentioned, a big part of what we do at Stratepedia is keep up to speed on technology and then figure out how to apply it intelligently to the challenges facing us in the SIM community.
Do we always get it right the first time? No. Anyone who was in on the great Marratech video conference experiment of 2006 can attest that, sometimes, in spite of what the movies may suggest, technology isn’t quite ready for prime time (or, we’re not ready for technology). That’s part of what makes this job fun (albeit frustrating at times)–we get to dust ourselves off, evaluate what we’ve learned, and keep moving forward.
I also want to remind you that we do not work in a secret lab. A lot of times we need guinea pigs volunteers enthusiastic about trying new technologies for our projects. We’ll post in this blog whenever these opportunities arise. In addition, this new publicity is timely as Amber and I have talked about how to use this blog to share more about what we do, things we’re trying, and what we’ve learned. You’ve joined us at a great time.
So now that you’re here, keep reading! We have several ways you can keep tabs on this blog, including via e-mail and RSS. Or you can just bookmark the site and check back at your convenience. You can also tell us what you think on any post–just fill out the short comments form you’ll see at the bottom, no account required.
Thanks again for visiting!
