Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
It’s quite possible I finished four books this month; two may have been started in January, but four in a month is a recent record for me in finishing. Both of these books I bought as part of my interest in westerns and #western106. While both are in the range of western genres, they could […]
I’ve always heard that the Gila Monster, a Sonoran desert reptile (hey Canada, you have NO Sonoran desert) is notorious for a bite that is never released. I am going to be the same way with Facebook until they come out of their blue castle and explain they illogical, inconsistent, way they attend to reports […]
I’m included with five others on a session / workshop for the upcoming OLC Innovate Conference; we are talking about Virtually Connecting — Rebecca Hogue got us together, and I think she and a few others will be on site. Maha Bali will be virtually there as are others of us, including me. Not being […]
A few weeks ago I got an email from Justin Reich asking if I wanted to run a workshop on connected courses with him at DML 2016. Heck yeah! I’m a big follower of his work, and it was Justin who got me on board doing an aggregation hub a few years ago for the […]
That is true – a beautiful month in Puerto Rico; that was my February of 2016 thanks to an invitation from Antonio Vantaggiato to spend a month with him and staff/students in the STEMmED project at Universidad del Sagrado del Corazón in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

The subject line in today’s email held some promise: A friend reported a profile they think is pretending to be you I was a bit bust enjoying the beach and time with friends on my last night in Puerto Rico, so I left it for later. And thus, I got another Rejection Letter from Facebook. […]
My upcoming long term project is all about building a credential system. Most of the first reflexes on hearing is “Go Directly to Badges, Do Not Pass Go.” It’s two weeks before I start, but my brain is already in motion, so I am info grazing. Now I have been a little bit flip about […]
“Yeah, wasn’t he involved in educational technology? Blogged a lot?” My recent stream of facebook catfishing rants have had a huge negligible less than zero effect. I got like 10 share in facebooks and 3 retweets. No one apparently wants to comment on the big fbomb rant. Facebook has not even responded to my recent […]
Are you getting tired of my Facebook catfishing rants? Too bad, they won’t stop until I get some answers. But here, something that is in the good news category, via twitter. G5 Bulgarian language students learn how to use @cogdog's Flickr tool for Creative Commons citations at @AAS_Sofia pic.twitter.com/plrcvVOaZd — Shary Marshall (@sharymarshall) February 25, […]
That first heady phase of the first round of DS106, back to December 2010, before Jim Groom’s first class very started, set the stage for the creative riffing ethos that is part of this crazy space. Like free form music jamming, it is taking something someone else has played, not as a theft labeled copyright […]
