Draft blog post: We knew we needed a site to bring together all the news, but what should it look like and how should it work?

Let's Build a News Hub!

  • 2011, just started in the office of comm
  • Lauren talked about "the Hub", an RSS firehose of every news item in the JHU universe, and "Johns Hopkins Today", a marketing-driven story telling news site.
  • The two began to merge into one project
  • Dave, then Glenn, then "agile"
  • Realization: this is way more than a website
  • Early drawings
  • Manufacturing metaphor!
  • Structured content pitch?

Lessons from hypermedia applied to the future of structured content management. Easy.

How will the robot refrigerators put our smashed and structured content back together again?

At Johns Hopkins, we're about to embark on a content strategy adventure led by Ahava Leibtag and her posse at Aha Media Group. Our team has been thinking a lot about content over the past year as we designed and built our news aggregation thingy that we call the Hub. I'm excited to work with Ahava in part because she's passionate about structured content, and as I think about structuring everything on jhu.edu, I start to wonder what we do with it once it's smashed into tiny structured pieces.

This process of breaking big blobs of content into smaller chunks has been on our minds a lot, because at the center of our Hub is an ever-growing database of lovingly smashed-apart content fields (sometimes called "structured content" when people are being extra polite) and a RESTful API to deliver that content to whoever might be interested. Our latest work on that API has us thinking about how to make it more hypermedia-dr

A very rough stream of consciousness of my thoughts about Baltimore, tech communities, and how we want different things sometimes.

A few hours ago, I tweeted a few times about the CreateBaltimore event happening today. I said:

I love Baltimore. But reading through some notes from @CreateBaltimore, I wonder if I belong in the tech community here, or understand it. 12:40 PM

and then

For me, the only answer to "Why Baltimore?" is "Because we live here." 12:42 PM

Before I go on, let me clarify -- I don't dislike CreateBaltimore or the Baltimore Tech community. The event sounds positive and I think there's a ton of great stuff going on in our city. I'm incredibly impressed by people like Mike Brenner, Jonathan Julian, and others who give a ton of themselves to push that community forward, providing opportunities for people to get involved, and being incredible resources. So don't let anyone refer to me as "the guy
