I have been asked to do a faculty workshop a week from Friday, where they more or less asked for “cool web stuff” (not quite what I did for students last week). The working title (because I Do Not Start Work Until I Have a Title) is “Silly / Useful Web Tricks”. This name is […]

This was my second open talk for students at Universidad del Sagrado Corazón — they are giving me free range for topics, so I chose to take them below the surface of the Facebook Pond to look at the world of catfishing. I was impressed with how many students knew the term (they knew it […]
There’s a lot to like about the DS106 Daily Create. There is also a lot of them, today’s was number 1493; this has gone on for 1493 days since January 8, 2012 without missing a beat. Four years. The best part is the unexpected range of responses, epecially when they seem so… simple. Maybe even […]

If the web was designed for you, then you might never enjoy the Museum of Endangered Sounds. But because much of the web is designed by us, we get gems like this that are weird, quirky, open to all and has a personality of it’s own. This site exists because someone like Charles wants it […]
A post earlier this week on social bookmarking garnered the kind of comments that make me feel like it’s the edublogosphere of 2005. Talk about retro! Thanks to all. One thing that I have realized is that there are different goals in bookmarking… Personal organizing of bookmarks. Almost any tool mentioned and more would work, […]
The email from Maha Bali came the night before I left for my trip to Puerto Rico, a red-eye flickt on February 1. She was asking people to join the Virtually Connecting event planned for the EDUCAUSE ELI meeting: Rebecca’s bday is Feb 2nd and we were hoping to surprise her during a Virtually Connecting […]
Slipped into the recent post on social bookmarking was a new little browser bookmarklet maker tool I made so someone can create a tool to bookmark links to any subreddit. If it looks familiar, it’s because it’s the same theme I use for the flickr cc attribution helper, which is just another bookmarklet tool. It’s […]
