Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
flickr foto Fir and Snowavailable on my flickr I’ve just returned from a week’s hideaway at our cabin in Strawberry, AZ. I deliberately left the computers at home, and this was my longest offline experience in 5 or 6 years. The first few days were a bit shakey, and the sweats and convulsions were intense. […]
I am working on getting over my podcast malady. For the past few years, two of our faculty that teach a semester-long class in digital storytelling have provided the same experience in compressed form for faculty as a 40 hour “Bringing Digital Storytelling to the Classroom LearnShop”.

Since not long after the day in October 1993 when a colleague handed my a floppy disk (remember those?) labeled “Mosaic”, our office has had a continuously running web server.

It has been four months of blue sky, sunshine, lies by weather forecasters, and a complete bust on the snow […]
Some time last year, I posted some of the deep, mysterious questions I came up with while at the airport. Having traveled a bit recently, a few more have risen in my mind: * The Southwest Cattle Call: If you have never flown Southwest Airlines you have missed out on the fun of getting your […]
flickr foto Presentation Interruptusavailable on my flickr Here at the New Media Consortium (NMC) Directors meeting in Austin, I was doing a reprise of the 5 Minutes of Fame session at EDUCAUSE ELI Conference. This was supposedly highlighting the NMC Horizon Report section on "Phones in Their Pocket" — the report suggesting cell phone technology […]
flickr foto Capitol Gated 2available on my flickr I am here for a first time visit, to Austin, Texas, for the New Media Consortium (NMC) Directors meeting a one day plus dinner gathering of a number of brilliant and creative reps from various new media centers across the US. I just love so much hanging […]
