Feed-share and share alike

My RSS feeds overflow with all sorts of linkable goodness — far too much to post here. So I’ve decided to share some of those items via Google Reader’s sharing option. See the tab on the top of this blog titled shared items? Just click there to find links to interesting items from my RSS reader. Don’t worry. I’m not posting every item from every feed — just the stuff I find interesting and/or halfway relevant.

You can even subscribe to my shared items in your own RSS reader.

I got the idea from Design Dyke.

Parody: the sincerest form of flattery?

You may have read on this blog about our university‘s campaign to introduce our new name — Missouri University of Science and Technology — to various audiences. We call it the hello campaign, and it features brief video clips introducing students, alumni, faculty and staff.

The campaign is now the subject of a parody by a group of enterprising students. (Enterprising in the truest sense, as they’ve created a t-shirt business poking fun at the university.) Here’s the video they’ve posted in response to the campaign.

If I were wearing my official university spokesperson hat, I wouldn’t be sharing this. But this is a personal blog, so what the heck. I love parody in all its forms, so I tip my hat to these guys.
