SigEp Mashups?

Has anyone made or seen any good SigEp centric mashups?
I am thinking something like using Google maps to locate all the chapter houses, or a combination of pictures on different sharing sites, or something totally off-the-wall that I haven’t thought of yet.
Curious.

New Blog Address

This one is for the web-heads out there.
If you look up at the address line this morning you will probably see a new, and much simpler, web site address (aka URL, or URI for the purists). We have acquired the domain name “SigEpBlog.org” and will be using it as our primary address from now on. [...]

Do Not Adjust Your Set

Update:The HQ site is back up and available.
Sean Leahey informed us this morning that the HQ site is “down.” A line was severed yesterday afternoon near the datacenter where the site is hosted.
He says that the provider expects everything to be back available by this afternoon.
(Considering the “Murphy’s Law” factor… look [...]

Where do you go for news?

Well, here is one place. Our hits have nearly doubled in the last 4 days. And that doesn’t even count the people (80+) who watch the feeds on their chapter blog, Facebook, or the various feed readers available.
If you are new, thanks for stopping by, be sure to come back. If you are a [...]

What happens when the iPhone’s stopwatch runs for 1,000 hours

Who says SigEps only think about parties? Here is the answer to the burning question “What happens when your iPhone stopwatch hits 1000 hours?”. If you go to the link be sure to scroll down and read the comments. They are, well, “less than charitable.” So much so that we are hard pressed to add [...]

How do people find S&P?

Good question. We have actively talked up the blog at any Sig Ep opportunity “where 2 or 3 are gathered together” over the last 3 years, and we have garnered a nice steady readership. We are considering how best to make sure that any SigEp who is interested can find us and so we did [...]

Hey, Pledge! Get me a beer!

The new must-have gadget for chapter houses.
If the inventors ever get together with the guys who made this device, then they will really have something!

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain…

A quick peek “behind the kimono”…
You may have noticed that some of the posts looked a bit odd lately. The sweet “Peekaboo” feature has gone fubar. You will note that ALL of the posts have the “Read more…” tags. Further, they don’t work even where they are supposed to.
The short story is the guy [...]

LinkedIn and Facebook and Flickr - Oh My!

I have been spending a fair amount of time lately thinking about social networks as the ‘new’ face of the web. Yeah, I know, somebody is always touting the ‘next big thing’, but I think the concept of social networking is very interesting. Bear with me. I’ll get to the fraternity aspect in a minute, [...]

Phone Wallpaper

(Off to geek-land…)
I was playing around with my phone and realized that I could use the bluetooth featur of my phone and the bluetooth feature of my computer to send a SigEp Conclave logo to my phone and set it as wallpaper.
Here is the picture I used - had to convert it to jpg, but [...]
