Found this cute parable story on YouTube, written by Margaret Meijers and illustrated by Susan Meijers. See if you can make the connections to the metaphors!

PS This is actually a test of some new NMC web site functionality; if all the duct tape is in the right place, this story will be posted to my twitter account

Histografica is an interesting resource of user contributed media - they are aming to build a large collection of historical photographstied to the geographic location and time period; so you can search for photos by both time range and location. 

For exmple, searching on Washngton DC pre 1904, I found this photo of the Smithsonian Institution from 1898

You can help grow it by either sharing your photos or adding helpful information to exisiting ones via the comments form.

A great resource with books fully online with many New Media related titles currently available.

This audio narrated Slidecast was for my presentation at the 2007 NMC New Orleans Regional Conference at Tulane. The audio was recorded at the session and the slideshow assembled later and published via SlideShare (which is, tool number 42!)

For content you create on the NMC web site, did you know that you can embed YouTube video? In this howto feature, I will describe the exact steps used to create the demo Poddy the Wombat entry.This will work for any content form that presents the visaul text editor, so for this example, I created Blog entry via the Create Content link on the lower left.

So I might first write a few words of text. To add a YouTube video, click the "Flash Video button":

This is a small demo to show how to add YouTube videos to something posted on the NMC web site.

What does a baby wombat look like? During my October 2007 trip to Australia , I had the opportunity to meet "Poddy", a baby wombat who was being taken care of by a family that rescues orphaned wombats. If they are not taken in they will not survive long on their own. They are raised until big enough to fend for themselves, and then released into the bush.

A great graphic representing a map of online communities- very useful discussion starter on new technologies from xkcd webncomics:
