University of Wisconsin re-designs its website

Posted on July 1, 2010 and seen 1670 times

It's been 5 years in the making... the University of Wisconsin has re-designed their website.

The new look is cleaner and easier to read then previous versions.  Web design nerds (like ourselves) will be happy to know that the new layout utilizes the 960 Grid System which makes the best use of space on modern computer monitors and standardizes content.

Additionally, social media outlets are more prominent (Facebook, twitter, YouTube, etc).

Schools block most of the web on student laptops

Posted on February 15, 2010 and seen 1071 times

Students at Ben Franklin Jr. High in Stevens Point are upset that school district provided laptops block social networking sites like Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, chat rooms, et al.

One student was quoted as saying ""I think that we should at least be able to use stuff like chat rooms. You can't even look up music,"

**Opinion: If the kids are getting freebie computers from the school, they have no room to complain that they cannot be used for anything other than school work.

Irate waitress and friend face charges after posting Craigslist 'message' from customer

Posted on January 27, 2010 and seen 1501 times

By Ed Treleven

Upset last year with the way a customer treated her, a waitress at a Downtown restaurant allegedly decided to give him some unwanted attention: His name in an Internet posting looking for sex.

The waitress, Karin M. Ibele, and a friend, Rachel R. Brazee, both 25 and from Madison, were charged Wednesday with disorderly conduct and sending an abusive computer message, both misdemeanors, for allegedly posting a message on Craigslist last year that made it appear the customer was looking for another man for late-night sex.

According to a criminal complaint, the man learned that his name, phone number and photo had been posted on Craigslist after he received a call on March 1 about 1:15 a.m. from another man responding to the ad.

Police traced the computer connection used to post the ad to Brazee's apartment, the complaint states. Brazee told police that Ibele had taken the customer's name from a credit card and together they gathered information about him from sources on the Internet, then placed the ad on Craigslist.

Brazee admitted to police that it wasn't right, but said, "Karin felt better when we did this," the complaint states.
