This was the entire visible form trying to log into the Sherton’s wireless- lacking the remaining fields and forms, there is no way a Mac user on Firefox can "Belong". The form is [...]

While my enthusiasm for the eLearning confernce I am at may be low, largely due to my own self applied over commitment and trying to work on 8 other things while on the road… it is amazingly re-assuring that one great session can make up for all the rest. Such was the case with this [...]

Presentation number two today was my part in the The Great ILS Challenge 2.0 a presentation idea that intrigued me when Mark Oehlert first described it; as a knock off of the Great Design Challenge done at the Game Developers Conference.

For perhaps uninteresting list of reasons, my blog juice has run low recently- there was about [...]

I’ve been still mentally energy catching up after the sprint marathon that is running our Symposium on Mashups last week and thuse am delinquent on sharing what an over-the-top session Jim Groom and Tom Woodward did on Welcome to the People’s Republic of Non-Programistan — including fake accents for 30 minutes — catch the [...]

I’ve tried to formulate it in my head and cannot put exactly to words why I love so much taking photos. And now I decided I dont really have to have it in words. It’s what energizes me. And so much has been rekindled just since January on taking on the challenge of the [...]
