In a meeting/chat this morning with Beck Pitt about her work here at the OER Research Hub, I mumbled something how these kinds of informal conversations with people and their projects more often then not ends up generating unexpected connections down the line. I see these brief meetups this week as more like potential nodes […]

I had some grandiose plans of daily blogging, let’s see how the first day goes. Today was getting to meet the team, […]
I typically tell people the ds106 Daily Create is something that should take less than 20 minutes per day, hence today I spent maybe 2.5 hours on mine. It’s not a rule, it’s a choice. Today’s one was special though. I am visiting David Kernohan and Vivien Rolfe in Bristol, and David’s son Ben is […]
