(Yes, third blog post tonight). I must do it for torture, I have no idea why a few days ago I was reading another one of those Medium blarge pieces about “Top 10 Reasons I Write” or “8 Powerful Lessons for Writers” or whatever. This person was writing about daily writing, which I think is […]
Besides frequent topics here of dogs, photos, and sometimes catfishing, I do like to share the wonders of the humble link, the thing that connects one idea to another. They might be deliberately places, but I find more interesting are the ones we make, ones not built into any designed system. Get ready for a […]
Last month I wrote about some of the photos I have taken of friends, colleagues who honor me by using them as social media avatars. The crowning prize has been the one I took of Audrey Watters in 2013 at a small meeting of ed-tech folks at the University of Mary Washington. Audrey uses it […]
This will be too much to cram into a single blog post (which means I will do it anyhow) after 2 intense days at Davidson College for an Indie Ed-Tech & Personal API event organized by Kristen Eshelman and Adam Croom. When I got the email I was doubtful I would go, some because it […]
I should not be amazed anymore where a single link click will lead me. But I remain, happily amazed. While it may only be marginally related to my new Creative Commons Certification project, some thinking about how reputation works in online spaces seems relevant. If (big impossible if IMHO) reputation can be measured, it can […]
I gotta say I love getting some good feedback on yesterday’s post about my new gig via comments and tweets. The well wishes were, well, great, but what I really valued immensely were the suggestions people made in my response to me discussion on collaboration systems. Internet, “you complete me” (and “you had me in […]
It was like a brand new day. Officially, the first day of work on my new project with Creative Commons, which is to help them design a curriculum (of sorts) and a system to provide certifications in the understanding and application of CC. It will be openly licensed (of course), and have an ability to […]
I’ve known for a while of the features of IFTTT (If This Than That) and maybe had one or two recipes set up in an account I forgot making there, but never really got in to make one for myself. Being late for this party is no big deal- but it’s quite an elegant concept, […]
Never underestimate the potential outcomes and echoes of a shot from the hip, mostly uninformed blog post. A few clicks back I blogged some thoughts, questions, and over generalizations on Seeking Evidence of Badge Evidence. To be honest, I looked only at a scant handful of badges, and was a tad dis-appointed in those that, […]
Last month I managed to clean off two partly read books, now I am moving on to a book I really have enjoyed, but has been sitting, partly read, on my coffee table, Jill Lepore’s Secret History of Wonder Woman I got the book last June, when I was getting ready for a project visit […]
