Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
Wednesday night, the Simpsons are coming to Maricopa! Writer Mike Reiss is coming to give a lecture on “Simpsons Mania: Behind the Scenes with America’s Favorite Family”: Culled from more than two decades of creating the funniest and most outrageous shows on television, Reiss’ presentation is a unique glimpse inside the cutting edge of entertainment, […]
Not to clog this blog with too much non educational technology stories (but I am my own editor and publisher…), I am just back to work today after what was supposed to be a tranquil backpack into the Grand Canyon with my stepson that turned out to be a near death experience. I kid you […]
In about 8 hours I will be pulling the Matrix plug out of the back of my neck, as I head north for a 3 day Grand Canyon adventure on the Hermit Trail — (e.g. no blogging, no barking, no ranting, just sweet silence on this blog site). It should be interesting- our streak of […]
Okay, 14 readers took the time to try the goofy, meaningless survey I posted as a quick demo of using phpQuestionnaire. The survey is open, and I have set this one up so the results are publicly viewable: http://zircon.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/phpq/stats.php?sid=3. What was nice was that I could tweak it in midstream based on the early feedbacks […]
Our system recently issued a policy that to drive any vehicles for school purposes, one would have to pass an online Defensive Driving course. I logged on recently to take care of this requirement but also to look at the design factors. It was very well done instructional design, following the ADDIE formula to a […]
Hardly Hollywood, but I’ve been focussed this week in the MCLI movie studio (e.g. my G4 TiBook). We are preparing an online opening for our Ocotillo Action Groups that will include some video welcome messages from our faculty co-chairs… as an introduction of their efforts this year and a teaser to invite people from Maricopa […]
I cannot breathe! The feeds are swirling! Snatding on the shoulders of giants, Brian Lamb and David Wiley (imitation and flattery apply here) I mixed up my furl bookmarks and flickr photos with the cogdog feeds and voila! the uber feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/cogdogblog This just rocks! I have just skimmed the surface of feed burner, but […]
More fun for Greg at Blogdigger 😉 My colleague Brian Lamb shared some nifty web resources for a class he is teaching at University of British Columbia. Remember, Rip-Mix-Burn… Specifically, he has created (rip) a Bloggdigger Group (a collection of chosen RSS feeds), that is itself turned into an RSS feed (mix), and is embedded […]
From a recent comment blog spam cleansed this morning. I think the spam author needs his own product (spammers URL intentionaly deleted) prozac http://anxietyXXXXXXX.xxx/ Blackmail Error: Send $200 to Bill Gates or your computer will get so messed up it will never work again. prozac online Jim, it’s Grace at the bank. I checked your […]
I sure regret not having time to make the Instructional Technology Institute at Utah State University apparently well orchestrated by David Wiley and nicely blogged by others. The blog buzz is good from folks I know and trust. I’ve got some blog scraping to catch up on. Some wishes: Earlier Notice. It was announced like […]
