Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
cc licensed ( BY NC ) flickr photo shared by deep_schismic I don’t know if this will be picked up by anyone else, but I wanted to try and propose a theme for a day on ds106 radio — it probably hinges on someone pushing for it in the morning. But oh well, you can’t […]
This turned out to be a love/hate/love assignment for ds106- Telling Stories in/on the web. It was a brilliant, creative, and challenging assignment cooked up by Martha. The task is to re-write a public web page to have it tell a new story, using only code (especially the Firebug plugin for Firefox). I’ll b&m about […]
Actually I don’t want to… cc licensed ( BY NC ND ) flickr photo shared by Martin_Heigan I enjoy sitting back and seeing how one small comment, remark, phrase sends by down a google lined wormhole of information (or pseudo-information). It’s not even from one link to another, it branches so much I cannot even […]
While sanding my deck I am mulling over what I will do for the Web Story assignment in ds106. I have my target and plan in mind, and hope to hatch it over the next day or two. An idea I had discarded as pointless was doing one on Wikipedia- pointless because one can already […]
cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog I grabbed the mic for 15 minutes tonight to read a few more tales from The Thing at the Foot of the Bed. It occurred to me that this book was a bit like going back to the elementary school you attended and noting how […]
THIS WEEK ARIZONA TRUTHS BROADCAST MAR 18, 2011 We look for the truth in Arizona, starting with the real age of the earth, as well as the headless bodies in the desert, legislators on ice, and something truly amazing buried in an old mine shaft. Where is the truth? We find it. —————————————————– This was […]
cc licensed ( BY NC ) flickr photo shared by sendarko I have been deeply touched by the (most ever at CDB) comments to my Into the Great Wide Open post as well as the #roadsongs shared on ds106 radio yesterday, masterfully conducted by the dog’s favorite bava. Late last night (after midnight here on […]
cc licensed ( BY NC SD ) flickr photo shared by Joe Lencioni The energy of ds106 radio continue to shine, with the almost impromptu music themes this week, from work songs to a fun day (was it Wednesday? just yesterday?) of “Songs to Grow By” — meaning songs you heard as a kid, or […]
One of the tweets Nixon did not manage to erase in 1972… Just kidding. I found this great, fun tool Twister from Classtools (twitterbution to @John_larkin, about time I gave you one back). It is a simple web form where you can enter info about a historical figure, and create a fake status message from […]
This photo from two days ago was a bit of foreshadowing…
Today was my first day of unemployment.
No, I was not fired…. I have walked away from likely the most plum position in education technology, Vice President of Community & CTO for the New Media Consortium, a spot I have held since April 2006. Working at NMC has been fantastic, from the world circling travel, to being part of the Horizon Report process, to helping run the conferences and webinars, to working with the most creative minds in our industry, heck even to running virtual conferences as a dog in Second Life.
The typical question from a handful of people I have told of my decision is, “So where are you going?”
The answer is “nowhere”.
