Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
In doing some prep for a future presentation (this is almost historic in my modus operendi of procastination, as it is almost 2 months away from now), I revisited a seminal 2008 Roger Ebert post on How to Read a Movie. He shares a number of ideas I am thinking might have potential for ds106, […]

I am just idly watching snow fall out the window, and thinking of things to try out online. Okay, for you loyal reader of this blog (not the use […]
google image search on Brave New World I just finished reading one of The Great Books I Was Supposed to Read in High School– Huxley’s Brave New World.

This big boxed arrived via FedEx; in it were some holiday gifts for a friend’s son, but Mom also stuffed it full of kitchen gadgets she claimed were laying arounf un-used in her kitchen. And […]
