I know that marketers et al do not really look at my web site when they email me offering all of the great information “my readers” would enjoy. I can practically see the variable names in the spam bot template where my web site name and URL get inserted. No I do not do guest […]
One of the first buildings I noticed upon arrival at Thompson Rivers University was seeing right across the street from where I am housed is the home of campus radio station CFBX (note the synchrnocity of their cable frequency). I spotted it even more when I got set up in my [barely used] office space […]
I’m super impressed with the methods and efforts Mike Caulfield is doing for the FedWikiHappening – a bunch of folks are trying to hang onto the flying lines of understanding of the Smallest Federated Wiki. What he is taking us through feels much more effective that all of his demos, blog posts, and workshops combined. […]
Only put your best work out on the public web. You do not want potential employers to find your inferior, embarrassing work. You will look bad. Because, they will judge you solely on THAT and not where it sits in a continuum or body of work. I’m countering that with the “Front Stage” videos I […]
Skip to the next post or elsewhere on the web if some juvenile mashup humor is not your cup of joe. These things get said on the web, and it’s almost a reflex I cannot control. Must. Photoshop. This. https://twitter.com/audreywatters/status/544575853179314176 Even before I clicked the link to the Big Think short video of Negroponte explaining […]
I see writing here as a way of working out ideas, not issuing profound certainties. Beyond my assured hatcheting of grammar and spelling (hi Sandy), I learn as I share, where I am often (a) wrong, (b) blind or (c) wrong. Upon an insightful comment from Maha Bali I am rethinking the assertion on Over […]
Ok, here I go. I am writing this as a Post in my known site. Do I have any other better content to use as a test case? Maybe I will include a dog photo? Does this fit with the phrase of eating one’s own dog food? Odd bug, I cannot get the cursor past the photo in […]
How do you like your eggs? When eating out I’d never pull the attitude Jack Nicholson’s character sneered in Five Easy Pieces: For most of my life, I’ve been a sunny side up or scrambled egg eater. In the last few years, maybe with a lot more road travel, I’ve gotten more fond of eggs […]
Last night on TMC they were showing Antonioni’s Blow Up — one of the brilliant films I watched in 2012. This was while I was working / living with Jim Groom, and we enjoyed a mini 1970s Conspiracy Movie fest. Blow Up left a lens shaped impression, the questions of what does a photograph mean, […]
A credible, textbook design process includes extensive pre-planning, testing, reviewing feedback, and making public once it has been thoroughly scrutinized. That’s not happening here. The previous post was syndicated here from a new project being hastily assembled by me and Brian Lamb at TRU as part of my Fellowship. Part of the package was running […]
