If you lived through an era of music on LPs to CDs to now MP3s, you may be experiencing a syndrome I have felt myself… you’re listening nicely to a song on your digital music player, and your past patterns of listening to the order of songs on a fixed medium cause you to expect [...]

While thinking/writing today about visual navigation schemes, I transported back to the late 1990s when the brilliant multimedia visionary Roy Stringer was coming up with a 3D, manipulative tool called a “Navihedron”, then coded in Macromedia Shockwave. You see this in some modern iterations, especially the Visual Thesaurus, where words become nodes, and are connected [...]

As a Canadian wanna-be, I’ve jumped early to register for the Feb 10-11, 2006 Northern Voice conference in Vancouver. This definitely fits the bill of an active, not-a-lecture-format conference as opposed to the other edtech fetes that just bore me into a coma. I was envious to only read of last year’s first offering.
I plan [...]

I am going offline for a few days to hibernate and do nothing computer related in Puerto Penasco or how us gringos say it, “Rocky Point”, returning Monday, Sept 26. Adios! Mucho gusto!

I think someone slipped a red pill in my cheerios…
I don’t know about you, but the unit of time “business days” has as much meaning as if you said to me, “I will have that ready for you in about 67hdHysuR%dsa87s*jkL days.
I took my dead iBook to the Apple Store for repair on September 9. [...]

Wow, looking back on previous blog posts, I have had a grouchy streaks of barks and growls. Tonight, I am taking the blue pill and maybe readers can look forward for maybe a few weeks of happy posts. I hope it is extra strength!

It seems you cannot find an educational technology blog, publication, presentation these days that do not somehow mention or directly address the NetGeneration learners (and most roads linking to a great EDUCAUSE e-publication). This is a Good Thing… to a degree. I find two things lately tickling my critical bones– (1) Recognizing is just a [...]

Let me begin this story by saying, the despite a recent experience, I love my Apple computers, past, present, and hopefully future. My work flows in Apple colors, where I do all my development, and use other systems to deal with how the other pitiful 95% of the web sees my content. I know less [...]

… which is a good thing.
Steven Johnson’s book Everything Bad Is Good For You has been out, and blogged about, for a while. I finally had a chance to read it over Labor Day, and have come away amazed at how fresh a view it is on pop culture, games, and even reality TV. [...]

I would not suggest that higher education institutions need to operate like CNN, but I find it fascinating to read Elliot Masie’s observations of how CNN dealt with the flow of content and information in the wake of Hurrican Katrina. In CNN Newsroom in the Midst of Katrina - “Rapid Development… Content Objects… Learning [...]
