[...] Recently Alan Levine commented on his blog, “…but [I] am honestly losing a bit of excitement every over every shiny new marble that comes rolling down the chute. It’s something about moving beyond tool lust to a love of the craft”. [...]

Love the imagery of the “every shiny new marble that comes rolling down the chute” and the fact that we need to have a “love of craft” and get beyond individual or specific tools in a “flavour of the month” approach.

Also liked your thoughts on lifecycles, having experienced “the curve” in a number of modalities. Also know from experience how difficult it is to keep up while on the road.

Take care of yourself and safe travels. As I keep saying, you *really* do need to get some “World Tour 2008″ t-shirts made.

… go ask me what Second Life and accreditation have in common …

Virtual accreditation? 2nd Life site visits?
This is quite a concept, really – worth looking into ;^)

Please don’t burn yourself out and make sure you have some time for yourself (outside of work) because I like to read what you write about! I am on a 2 month tour of the southwest (pleasure not work) before I return home to teach a grad course. I hope I will find interesting things to relate to teaching for my course.

Be careful out there, Alan. Thinking a lot about this notion of instructional technology (or what ever it is we do) as a craft given your amazing fishing post and just the way you frame your understanding of this space as a communal, not a technical, relationship. It makes more and more sense to me everyday, and I have to re-visit some of my own fanboyism. But anyway, all this is just to say enjoy your travels, see you at the end of the internets.
