I might be the last one left still using Google Reader. Why not? Although banished from the menus, it will work through July, 2013. I’m in no hurry to join the Mad Rush To Find The Perfect Reader Replacement That Does Not Exist. But I was surprised when tonight reader announced that a newer version […]

I dream of some magic hack that retweets this classic from Audrey Watters every time someone tweets/blogs/farts about MOOCs https://twitter.com/audreywatters/status/314119610851008512 We need more Jules. I am but a weak imitation, but over lunch could not rest (and actually forgot to eat lunch) to spin out some MOOC FiCTION “What does the future of education look […]
