Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
Some hapless two-bit kiddie spam roach has been spamming an old Maricopa Learning eXchange comments script (it should have been yanked long ago, that is my own hapless two-bit error)– it did not do anything but send out false notifications to the faculty in our system who have shared their ideas/projects in the MLX, and […]
I lost track of how many tangential clicks off what I set out to do on the web this morning, but cannot help but admire, and absorb more deeply Ten Tips for New Trainers/Teachers: Just because you’ve used lots of software doesn’t mean you can write code. Just because you’ve been in lots of buildings […]
flickr foto A Bit More Resolutionavailable on my flickr No Photoshop fudging was done to generate this temperature! This is not that kind of scale… this dial is the temperature in my back yard in Phoenix, and actually the thermometer is shaded by a patio roof (though the cement wall likely bumps it up a […]
I am sitting here in Cincinnati, Kentucky (Yes, Ohio, the airport has left the state) waiting to go home after the 4 day intense almost boot camp experience of the EDUCAUSE Instructional Technology Leadership Program 2005. And the experience was more intense for the participants than us “faculty” presenters. The vagaries of air flight have […]

Housing and Google Maps. Well here is another one– gCensus nicely combines US census data and Google Maps. As you zoom and pan you […]
I recently got an email notification that a peer review has been done of a former project that is available in MERLOT.

I am coming off of 10 days of rest, travel, and not doing much blogging, reading, or doing anything more significant than lying in a hammock. But I am not back in the office as tomorrow morning I fly to Penn State University for the EDUCAUSE Instructional Technology Leadership Program– this is a pilot of […]
While I was offline for 4 days, I returned to find only 400+ email messages in the inbox. Of these, more than 300 were spam. Thunderbird does an okay job of spam filtering, but I still had to comb through and mark more than 150 new Junk sources. On our slow 26 Kbps dial up […]
The blog was still the last week as this was some vacation time- first a few days to check on our cabin in Strawberry. The threat from the Cave Creek Complex fire, which burned more than 240,000 acres of wilderness area, decreased for the small communities up here. This time. So with that, my wife […]
flickr foto Not So Picturesqueavailable on my flickr It is a hazy day at our cabin Strawberry as the front of the Cave Creek Complex fire, 12 miles to the southwest, is smoking up the skies. Fortunately, the news is saying that there is less to worry about in terms of the fire reaching hear. […]
