flickr foto Another Conference Bagavailable on my flickr Another satchel bites the dust For me, the worst part about registering at a conference is when they hand you over the conference bag. Yechhhh. The only comfort is that 300, 1000, 6000 other participants are stuck with the same appendege. Out of 12 years in this […]
On the first leg of my flight from Phoenix to Aspen, I’ve listened to Malcolm Gladwell’s ITConversations podcast on Human Nature. Author of the popular Blink and Tipping Point books, Malcolm Gladwell seems in voice to to find a great way to bring about data, research, and human nature to an interesting place. In this […]
I’ve got time on my hands in the Phoenix Airport. My short flight in the small commuter jet to Aspen is delayed because… ahem.. one of the crew has now shown up yet. Yikes. Beyond munching on over priced food that one does not really need, and not wanting to read your magazine not wanting […]

First I had not responded to the comment about updating my Feedburner settings. Well, 4 months later, and I sprung into action, updating the blog URL, and making sure my links […]
In the next few months I will be trying to… ahem, dip into the cliche bag…. “walk some of the talk” (or maybe it is “jog some of the blog”). My colleagues and I concocted a plan last week to cease completely the print publication of our mcli Forum, a once a semester publication form […]
Over at Learning Circuit Blogs, Clark Aldrich pulls out the stereotyping brush and paints large swaths of badly mixed paint in “Schools hate businesses, businesses hate schools”. I will not even dignify it with a pull quote, but please jump in on the comments and send the guy some light as he is lost. Yechhh. […]
