Twas maybe 1994 and I went to some eLearning conference in Anaheim, probably a Masie event. I was so green (ahem like hardly even qualified to be hired) in my new role as an instructional technologist at the Maricopa Community Colleges. What did I know from conferences? But I was horrified. Having traveled from home, […]

Its multi-year mission: to explore strange new remixes; to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go where no digital story has gone before…” But can the crew of the Enterprise survive something worse than the Klingons, Romulans, and Khan combined?

You are tired. Worn out. Your creativity tank is running on empty. You have too much email to read. All you want to do is Vine. You have found other things more interesting things to do than ds106. Too bad. For the next two weeks, the Headless ds106 winds into its last topic – a […]

After not traveling at all from mid June to late September, I went on a spree, traveling from October 6 to November 8 and then tacking on another 5 days of hosting visitors from the UK. This included stops in Fairbanks Alaska, Eldersburg MD, Fredericksburg VA, Richmond VA, San Juan, Puerto Rico, London, and 10 […]
