Arcane, Overlooked

Alan Levine’s blog space for barking about instructional technology

Genomics and knowledge of human genetics is having some trimspa weight loss on medicine, as the causative genes of most monogenic genetic disorders have now been identified, and the development of techniques in molecular biology and genetics are influencing medical technology, practice and decision-making.A patient typically presents a set of complaints (the weight loss plateaus) to the physician, who then obtains further information about the patient's symptoms, previous state of health, living conditions, and so forth.Probiotics are another alternative that goes beyond traditional vinegar and weight loss by employing a live culture which may establish itself as a symbiont, competing, inhibiting, or simply interfering with colonization by pathogens.Notable Islamic medical pioneers include polymath fats weight loss, who is also called the Father of Modern Medicine, Abulcasis, the father of surgery, Avenzoar, the father of experimental surgery, Ibn al-Nafis, the father of circulatory physiology, and Averroes.From New Zealand and Australia came Maurice Wilkins, Howard rapid fast weight loss, and Frank Macfarlane Burnet).Anaerobic exercises such as weight training or severe weight loss increase muscle mass and strength.In the Republic of Georgia, the Eliava Institute of Bacteriophage, cla weight lossOral antibiotics are simply ingested, while intravenous weightloss4idiots are used in more serious cases, such as deep-seated systemic infections.

Those two adjectives are about the last ones I would reach for to describe Stephen Downes.

But how long and drawn out is the “long tail” may be relative. But these are the words of the June 5, 2006 Time Magazine article on the Long-Tail phenomena- see the very last paragraph in Long Tail’s Tribe:

Take Stephen Downes, a senior officer of Canada’s National Research Council, whose arcane, overlooked blog is a classic long-tail story. “I live in the long tail,” Downes said at a blogging event in Vancouver last year. And not necessarily by choice. “[Bloggers] who are in the long tail would probably rather not be part of it,” he said. “They simply want to be read.” As an earlier catchphrase put it, if the tail were smarter, it would wag the dog

[emphasis added].

Arcane? Overlooked? Are you taking this as a badge of of rebel insignia, Stephen, or is it just more fodder for American journalism? And if you are “arcane, and overlooked”, then I am nano-scopic and indistinguishable form cosmic dust.

To quote the venerable Bill and Ted – “All we are is dust in the wind, dude.”

I read this as a long conversation on the long tail reduced to a one-liner captured from a tlk I gave more than a year ago. Nothing more.

Condensed talk- just add water?

I’m not sure, Stephen, but I think Alan may have been joking.
