Dark Nebula Gets Bytten

The Big Biggie made it perfectly clear in his presentation that he wants obvious and easy to see change in the organization, so his bosses will be assured that he did a good job in cleaning up the "mess" made by the Former Executive Director. He defined which departments were "going away", and which would be "leaned", and also left some unaddressed until further study.

He made it very clear that the organization is NOT a service organization any more, but is now to be a Repository of compelling content that is easily delivered to anyone who wants to use it, and for free! Obviously, the headcount won't be as high as it is now, and also obviously, no new hiring will be happening. Also, the limits to what sort of content should be available have not fully been defined, but will still need to serve the ultimate goals of the University of Blueberry Syrup, and the taxpayers, who are paying for all this.

In addition, he demands that all content be formed into byte size pieces, so that users can quickly grab only the morsel they are specifically looking for, kind of like rats sneaking from the walls, grabbing pieces of excellent cheese from a fine French kitchen, then scampering off to their holes without paying, and consuming the tidbits there *:-) I've been doing that on the web for years, so no surprises there, but what tidbits to put in the kitchen? I have decided to call each tidbit that I will be creating an EduChunk (c) 2007, and will check to make sure nobody else is using that, then I will copyright it *:-)

Have Fun *:-)
