Ahhh, that electronic tome of academia, the The Chronicle of Higher Education, is sporting some of the Emperor’s clothing line. In an article published December 17, 2007 on Colleges Are Reluctant to Adopt New Publication Venues the keen writers there “discovered” the NMC 2007 Horizon Report:
Academe has been slow to accept new forms of scholarship [...]

This falls into the category of “curiosities raised from idle web wandering”. I just noticed after not looking at it for a while at how much stuff (or crud or crap) I have running down the sidebar of this blog. Its stuff I pretty much ignore, as likely do others.

We just spent a week camping up at Algonquin. It was wonderful, such a gorgeous wilderness and what wildlife!

Woo hoo! I’m already planning to attend Northern Voice 2008 but now I am packing the good moose duds since my session on “50 Web 2.0 [...]

I’ve casually watched, and greatly impressed, by the ways people are using [...]

How is that for timing? The day after last rant about the way Facebook sends messages by email (”You have a message! I know it! You Don’t! But I wont tell you unless you visit me and get sucked into my vortex! hahahaha” might that be McLuhan on the side, “the message is not the [...]

I’ve always been fascinated by efforts to map cyberspace… most maps seem to focus on the physical network connections but the ones I find the most interesting are those that try to map the diversity and connections [...]
