Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
Tomorrow is the 365th day of the year. If I was a perfectionist, I’d be distraught over having missed 15 days out of my 2011/365 photos. Nah. I spent a few nights going back and picking ones I had posted and had forgotten to add to my set. I fixed a few that were mis-numbered, […]
Courtesy of my sailing sister, comes a new song for my next round of Dog Songs on ds106 radio, this is “Let the Big Dog Eat” The performer is Bill Wharton, who is new to me, a Florida blues dude also known as the Sauce Boss, and apparently works both the guitar and the kitchen […]

My new unlocked 4s is in action here in Canada. I went to a Virgin Mobile kiosk in a mall here in Welland and got a pay as you go plan set up, the sim card installed, and unlike my experience with Yes Optus in Australia, it worked right away. So now in Canada, I […]
Among other TEDx Talk videos I have seen recently, the one by Luis von Ahn on Massive-scale online collaboration, Stephen Downes notwithstanding, generated a number of ideas for me. von Ahn is the man behind the idea of reCaptcha– originally a Carnegie-Mellon project eventurally gobbled up by Google.
