I’m thrilled to see that Reclaim Hosting still runs the DS106 Radio Summer Camp as a light, low threshold way to gather online about as far from a wall of zoom faces as you can get. It was 12 hours of programming you could just spin the dial to over to https://listen.reclaimed.tech/summer-camp and tune in. […]
It’s one thing to mutter promises of being back, it’s quite another to actually do it. Through an unlikely path (again), I have finally managed to resurrect the wall of media web presentation tool I ran with for a long while, that which was once known as CoolIris. This was something I fleshed out first […]
Over at my OEGlobal perch I just scheduled a new recording session for the OE Global Voices podcast, this by request from the folks at Athabasca University that publish the open access journal, The International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning (IRODDL) as it is their 25th anniversary. And it was exciting to […]
While I’ve hung up collecting Amazing Stories of Openness I never tire of coming across inspiring acts of it– as Nancy White had said in one of the first of these videos, “Openness is an attitude.” This week I participated in the online Open Texas 2024 conference. In a town hall session we were spun […]
Just when one might think the glorious, joyful, unlimited potential of the internet has cratered to an ad-laden pool of machine generated goop, amazingness happens again. The odds of what I will lay out here seem improbable. Well, someone can likely do a back of the napkin estimate. While I have hung up efforts to […]
My new blog post category might be “Enough Of the Web Nostalgia” where this one can be filed. Trust me, I am excitedly peering into the future! I took the Amazing/True Stories of Openness for it’s last hurrah ride, back to the Open Education Conference where it started in 2009. It was perched in the […]
My blog draft is up in the old grey matter, and I can’t seem to start typing in this box (not a prompt one) until I have a metaphor image and a title. Hardly efficient. I have done that. Just because it is 2023 and I loathe doing this, I asked the weakest LLM (free […]
Given a draft of a post is withering/dying where I fail to conjure something meaningful about the Two Letter Acronym That Rhymes With Hey Bye, I’m reaching back to the old stuff that still matters, the magic of what I call unexpected web serendipity that spring from something we shared, did, uttered in an internet […]
I dare you. I double dog penguin dare you to contribute a story for my True Stories of Openness (formerly known as Amazing) aka Magic Acts of Web Serendipity… First conjured up long long ago (2009) at a conference far far away (Open Ed in Vancouver “Crossing the Chasm” was the theme), deploying not light […]
While lightning may not strike the same spot twice (debatable), I manage to keep recycling this same “True Stories of Openness” talk perhaps way too many times. It’s on tap as an Alt format session for OER22 but I gave it another warm up as a Creative Commons Lightning Talk for Open Education Week. Without […]
