I ought to be the last person to get wade into the waters of arguing over definitions. By definition I loathe quibbling over definitions. But c’mon, Chronicle of Writing Poorly But Great at Oversensationalizing Headlines About Higher Education, I cannot event tell what topic el Chrono is writing about. Blame it on the weak wifi […]
It’s been a few weeks since the Blog Brothers were yakking but they did let participants (well anyone) know that their garage would be open for those angling to create a Connected Course. Open is as open does. Cars are pretty easy, right? Blogs and RSS are way more finicky pieces of engineering? Maybe, maybe […]
(Yes I know I mangled the French language in the title. That’s on purpose.) This is a scarf. Just an object. I’ve been wearing it daily for the last week since the weather here in Kamloops turned cold, the high daily temperatures are sometimes as high as freezing temperature.

I’m feeling some restless urging for a new WordPress theming here. Checking my changelog it’s been almost five years since I changed things up (for which I received plenty of Jim […]

creative commons licensed ( BY-NC ) flickr photo shared by roberthuffstutter With travel and moving to my new perch for a few months, in the last few weeks, my awareness of what’s going on in Connected Courses has been mainly the vibe I get from scans of the #ccourses twitter stream and reading a few […]
