Way out here on the marginal reaches of the withering web, the connections that weave together are of statistical aberration, where no language model of any size would draw a path. As thus it was following the adventures of Stephen Downes as he bicycles around Iceland that got me thinking of places I saw there […]
Another of the quarter baked drafts that have been bounding around the noggin that now has a reason to see some light. Or maybe it is an excuse to give my pal Todd Conaway a Plain Old Telephone Call so we can rehash a long going topic. As I edit this long/unfinished draft, I can […]
There’s more to memory than just recall versus forgetting. I came across this brilliant read “To grow, we must forget… but now AI remembers everything” and it downs like the broligarchy thinks they just need to toss into the algorithms is a machine that never forgets? Forgetting is a feature of human memory“Infinite memory” runs […]
Coming up in a few days, me with a band of other DS106 Never Quitters, are on tap November 4 for a live conversation session for the Reclaim Open Conference – in that session sharing our love for and refusal to stop being part of the DS106 Daily Create aka The Daily Create (TDC). In […]

In the daily ritual department, Cori and I enjoy our first cup of coffee and conversation in bed. Well, she’s the early riser who ventures down to fetch our fresh java. After that, heading downstairs, already my […]
I’m just over the wild and fun rush of organizing the strings and gizmos for last week’s Open Education Week including my own self inflicted plan to organize 12+ live streamed un structured open conversations (10+ hours worth). In many places and one particular where the questions along that lines of “where do we go […]
I’m in the late middle of a sheer mad but insanely fun series of events for OE Global’s Open Education Week. That itself is a post or more, with the set up and development of the WordPress web site, an Events calendar plugin, fediversing the events… oh, stop it! But also, I have had to […]
