Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
No Need to Click Here – I’m just claiming my feed at Feedster Update: WTF with Feedster? I’ve had an account there since they’ve been out but their “MyFeedster” interface is acting like bad alpha software- the change password form uses Text input fields rather than password types, it does not process the change request, […]
Worth more than the banner “2 Cents Worth”, David Warlick muses on Four Reasons Why the Blogsphere Might Make a Better Professional Collaborative Environment than Discussion Forums: I have been experimenting a good bit lately with integrating some of the emerging web tools (blogs, wikis, rss, podcasting, etc.) into my presentations and workshops, attempting to […]
flickr foto Cool Dogavailable on my flickr Possible new logo? To answer Cadu’s request, I’m starting a new tag game– find photos of signs featuring dogs, and tag them with dogsign (and might as well tag them dog as well to beef up the canine tag rankings). What could make a better logo than a […]
flickr foto Cadu On Alertavailable on my flickr What? Did I hear that cats beat us dogs in the FlickrTagFight? I cannot believe it! Something must be done! More dog tags! More dog tags! More DOG tags! “This cat tag thing is out of control! I say upload your dog photos en masse and show […]
The first rule of FlickrTagFightClub is we do not talk about FlickrTagFightClub… nah, talk about it. Blog about it. See FlickrTagFight, a site that lets you compare two tags, side by side, head to head, in a knock down, winner take all tag fight– see how “Man vs Machine”: And it’s not even close! Machines […]
Good News: Google News and custom searches are available as RSS/Atom Feeds. Bad News: Has anyone at Google actually googled the RSS 2.0 formats? They have taken a weird approach to the format, double listing the title and publication date items inside the description! Okay, technically it meets RSS 2.0 rules, but functionally, it is […]

Well, there is no way I am blogging my own session… that is someone elses job! This was the wild and open range discussion on “Collaboration Tools: What’s Out There?” and it was […]

This is the way to start a conference morning at the Seminars in Academic Computing (SAC) conference. Monday was an early morning hike “up the hill” (past the ski lift end) with Phil Long, Trent Batson, and Cyprien […]
Day two of the Seminars on Academic Community conference in lovely Snowmass…. I am reflecting that conferencing blogging is tiring work for me… Yesterday, in the morning keynote session, I was sharing note writing with Cyprien Lomas in a shared space of SubEthaEdit. We both talked later about how that experience played out- we were […]
What Are We Playing At
What it means to integrate games into the curriculum and why we should
Richard Van Eck
University of North Dakota
Presentation and Game Analysis Packet available
