Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
So this is Denver… It is not secret, but the Denver airport is an entire city unto itself. You get off a plane, get on a train, hop on a boat, cross a mountain… and then wait 40 minutes, praying, for your luggage. Then, you find out the airport is so far east of the […]
In a few clicks, I’m off to the airport for Denver heading there for the EDUCAUSE 2004 Conference Extravaganza. With good wireless connectivity, I hope to blog what I can. Tomorrow Brian and I will be rounding up some objects in our pre-conference seminar, “Decentralization of Learning Resources: Syndicating Learning Objects Using RSS, TrackBack, and […]
Email is the communication norm. It is no more special than the phone. But it is the worst way to manage information over time or the “KM” buzzword (which by the way I have never understood— “mamaging knowledge”, it sounds like managing “wisdom” or quantifying ethics or s snipe hunt). I have noticed recently, in […]

This group, now its fifth year, began as a “Blackboard Users Group” but we have broadened it to include demos and exchanges for people using any sort of online technology.

Well the boys are in town… John and George are on their way to Tempe (no this is not a Dead Beatles reunion, it is the other John and George). After their shindig at ASU, I am counting on meeting up for some drinks at the Billet Bar in downtown Scottsdale and then maybe up […]
Will wrote today about his mild wonderment on his time spent roaming blogs, furl-ing and webnoting interesting web sites: So I had about 90 minutes of true blogging flow this morning, reading the latest in my Bloglines aggregator, clicking on links, Furling interesting posts, and stealing paragraphs here and there and saving them as a […]
Based on the descriptions elsewhere, in addition to the web bookmark service Furl I am starting to also use the social bookmarking site del.icio.us – the latter for its rip-mix use of free form “:tags” to collect bookmarks made bu other del.icio.us-ers (sidebar, I enjoy “furling” sites but do you say “del.icio.us-ing” a site?). In […]
Gerry caught me on iChat tonight and let me know he was having trouble reaching Flickr— he’s right! What’s happening? And it looks like they are based in Vancouver… Did Mount St. Helens blow a big cork and blast it north? I hope not! Maybe flickr is just flickering.
I had a surrealistic moment in Walgreens. I was there to pick up a (legal) p;erscription. Walkign out, I noticed that the soothing background music was actually the pseudo 1960s Pictures of Matchstick Men by Status Quo which I always took as a trippy psychedelic song. No Muzak or cheap midi version, it was the […]
