Professor Dino Baskovic of Lawrence Technological University on web design, communication and social media
On the next 106 & Park: will.i.am, Lil Wayne, Wu-Tang, web standards…
He calls himself m0serious, a.k.a. the Poetic Prophet, the SEO Rapper—though he rhymes about more than search. I honestly thought this would be a mildly amusing web spoof, but it’s actually quite good. I even showed this to my class earlier this evening, and they gave it their props.
If you’ve gotten this far and still aren’t sure whether to click play, then read on (thank you, Tasty Blog Snack):
After nearly a two-year hiatus, I’ve decided to relaunch the “LTU Web Design” blog.
I suppose the guilt of presenting at a social media conference back at my alma mater in Ohio got the best of me. Thanks, Bill—the itch to blog is back.
That, and after having registered for one of those fancy ISSN numbers, I feel I owe it to you the taxpayer. Well, at least to my students at Lawrence Tech. They pay some hefty tuition to hear me ramble for three hours each week, so the very least I can do is put my money where my mouth is….
As I did in early ‘06, I’ll continue to focus this blog on web design, social media and communication. My previous foray was probably too formal in retrospect, and a tad preachy. Us web standards-types tend to be a bit into ourselves. Starting with this post, I’ll lose the tie and blog about what makes web design in the modern era so great, and why I have so much fun with it as a practitioner and a professor.
If I do my job well, you may learn something along the way. Heck, I’m still learning as I go.
Until next post, catch me on LinkedIn and Facebook, or this Friday night at Ray’s where I’ll talk more about last year’s massive web crash…
