Comment on Supersize Edu by Andrew Forgrave

“If that McDegree comes with a fun meal badge, would you like that here or to go?”

I think those Happy Meal Toys have been very successful at selling Happy Meals to kids. With all the wonderful movie and TV tie-ins, they make the Happy Meal fun-time all that more palatable, regardless of the fact that it develops a bit of a predisposition to eating pre-fabricated chicken bits.

Maybe the McMOOC idea was before its time, and is perhaps only now threatening to fulfil its potential as the New Metaphor for Processing Children towards Adultness.

Does it come with fries? Gravy on the side an option? And, asking a more germane and appropriate question for the time, do they have good WiFi in the Coffee Bar?

Thanks, Alan! Once again you have reminded me of many dad memories. I was in my garden pulling weeds and looking at the blue sky knowing that dad was watching and proud of my lawn without yellow headed weeds! It was a strange father’s day without our dad but I know how much he loved us and was proud of what we did. He might not have said it enough but I always felt it.

I am impressed and intrigued by your story, Alan. It sounds like a great plot for my next novel. My story is loosely based on Stacey ‘s series but has more to deal with real human’s experiences and survival stories of creepy dolls http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00B9ZK4ME

How can I reach you?

I’m trying Fever but also Feedly (lesson from GReader remains unlearnedd). I’m trying hard to like Fever but it chokes a bit, probably due to my crappy hosting. Feedly is pretty slick and minimalist.

I am attempting to revitalize my blogging. So there’s that.

Nice try Alan, but I am the real @Iamtalkytina. I applaud the great lengths you went to to try and mock up a pretty convincing argument (complete with digital paper trail). While the iamtalkytina.com domain is in fact registered with A Small Orange, several of Tina’s quite helpful tweets “accidentally sent by me through her account, and not mine” prove that I am just as sloppy as the grandmaster Jim Groom when tweeting from multiple accounts.

As most know, I am the effervescent font of helpful tweets in the #ds106 community, and as of late, Tina’s tweets have sporadically popped up in the same helpful tone…I was enjoy the beverages a bit too much during my conference in Madison this week, and let a few tweets slip under the wrong account.

It was fun while it lasted!
