Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
flickr foto Another Project, Another Dayavailable on my flickr This stack of 70+ CDs now hides in my home office closet. It represents my archive of personal photos going back to maybe 2000. Since iPhoto (older version) gets fussy with more than 500 photos, and is really groaning the drive on my old 700MhZ iBook […]
flickr foto Wow, This Web Thing Might be BIGavailable on my flickr Our site got featured in one of the early books about the web, The World Wide Web Unleashed by John December (1994). As I winnow down the last 2 weeks on the job at Maricopa, I am unearthing a lot of nostalgic artifacts […]
flickr foto Fir and Snowavailable on my flickr I’ve just returned from a week’s hideaway at our cabin in Strawberry, AZ. I deliberately left the computers at home, and this was my longest offline experience in 5 or 6 years. The first few days were a bit shakey, and the sweats and convulsions were intense. […]
I am working on getting over my podcast malady. For the past few years, two of our faculty that teach a semester-long class in digital storytelling have provided the same experience in compressed form for faculty as a 40 hour “Bringing Digital Storytelling to the Classroom LearnShop”.

We have gone through several iterations of trying to build collections of web resources for educators, and in going through some old files, I got […]
Small, insignificant observational note of no consequence: In my two podcasting demos this week for faculty and staff at our colleges, I showed as a video example an episode from the TV show Lost that I had bought on the Apple Store for $1.99. Before I showed a small bit of it, I asked how […]
flickr foto DSC01365 It has been 130 days since it has rained in Phoenix. One Hundred And Thirty. That stretches back to mid-October that we experienced the odd phenomena of water falling from the sky. It has been four months of blue sky, sunshine, lies by weather forecasters, and a complete bust on the snow […]
Some time last year, I posted some of the deep, mysterious questions I came up with while at the airport. Having traveled a bit recently, a few more have risen in my mind: * The Southwest Cattle Call: If you have never flown Southwest Airlines you have missed out on the fun of getting your […]
flickr foto Presentation Interruptusavailable on my flickr Here at the New Media Consortium (NMC) Directors meeting in Austin, I was doing a reprise of the 5 Minutes of Fame session at EDUCAUSE ELI Conference.
