In the real life can be strange too department…
We’ve recently been helping my mother-in-law clean up her cluttered yard and garage. She offered to let us take about 3/4 of a cord of firewood she had purchased for her small outdoor fireplace, and we can [...]

Doh!
Sound of blog remorse!
In writing about the CNI Horizon Project presentation, I was remiss in leaving out one of the coolest discoveries — that Vicki Davis (coolcatteacher in georgia) and 4 other secondary school teachers in Austria, Bangladesh, China, and Australia are doing another fabulous Flat Classroom project — and this one they [...]

Have you heard just enough plaff about twitter the 2007 web love child? I have experienced and seen enough others experience the twitter cycle:

Like last Decemberm when I got invited to be on the planning committee for the EDUCAUSE ELI Focus Session on [...]

Hey, I just finished my 2006 summer project! When I joined NMC, I projected having a public version of a new web site ready by September.
I lied. Or grossly underestimated. Or lied.
But this morning we flipped the switch and lit up the tree. I could blog about all details of this process (and should [...]

I really do not want to learn a new web programming language. In my first round, through the late 1990s, it was perl, than I made the jump to doing my web stuff in PHP. Now of course, the rage and sexy code is done in Ruby — any slick new web site that moves [...]

Quickly. Little time to blog.
A year ago today was my first day on the job at NMC, just a year gone by and so many things have happened. It reminds me of the old Lorne Green A,lpo commercials where hs says something like:
Hi. I’m Lorne Greene. And this is my pal, CogDog. You know, CogDog [...]
