While here on my leave of absence in Strasbourg I&#8217;ve been taking distance courses from Swedish universities. I took advantage of the course I took from Gotland University last semester in Cascading Style Sheets to create the website marketing my services as <a href=\"http:\/\/swedish-english.se\/\" target=\"_blank\">a translator from Swedish to English<\/a>. This semester I am taking a course from Ume\u00e5 University in Social Media and Web 2.0, and the assignments include maintaining a blog and using it in conjunction with the course.<\/p>\n<p>This ought to encourage more posts to this less than super active blog. So there will be a new tag for the Social Media course and a new alternative in the top menu. (The next assignment involves Twitter, so expect some different tweets at <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/radiowood\" target=\"_blank\">twitter.com\/radiowood<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>One thing that immediately struck me as I struggled to log in to and learn to use the course website concerns digital textbooks. Last week Apple launched their iBooks 2 initiative, and presented a slew of textbooks costing under 15 dollars, and deals from virtually all of the major publishers. Yet, of the two books required for this course, one costs 6 dollars less from the Kindle Bookstore than from iBooks 2 (which wanted close to three times that 15 dollar figure) and the other is only available via Kindle, not in iBooks.<\/p>\n<p>It seems Apple has more work to do&#8230;..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There will be some different posts on this blog over the next few months.
