Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
One can be a busy blogger just copying the neat things D’Arcy Norman does… liks playing with the gnomz comic creator he wrote about a while back. This is just one of those things that at first you might thing, “What a silly waste of time and computer resources!”, which is true, but don’t be […]
After toying a bit with Jots yesterday getting the bookmarklet tool to work, I am getting to like it more and more as a bookmark manager. I might be switching from ‘furling’ to ‘jotting’… It more or less has everything you get with del.icio.us, meaning easy bookmarking, searching, tagging, rss feeds, seeing what others are […]
I find my life is full of metaphors, some fit well, others may be a stretch. Over the Memorial Day holiday weekend, I celebrated by doing yard work.

As a follow-up to the Emerging Trends workshops at San Diego State University earlier this week, I was asked by participant who had just created new blog sites, “How do we find each others blogs” and by the planners, “Hey Alan, you’re an RSS guru, how can we syndicate them into one place?”.

This dog will be going to low blog mode for the next week or so. First up is some time off to visit Mom in Florida. On May 23-24 I get to be a guest presenter at a faculty workshop at San Diego State University, invited by Bernie Dodge, the genius creator of WebQuests and […]
flickr foto Hybrid Courses Matrixavailable on my flickr Our Ocotillo Hybrid Courses Action Group chair Shelly Rodrigo went wildly over the top with a “Matrix” theme for her demo on the group’s efforts this year… with red pills and blue pills for those faculty considering the plunge into hybrid courses. But I cannot help but […]

I’m too tired to blog much, but today’s Ocotillo retreat was a raging, energetic success, with some 200 attendees taking in 2 […]
