Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
There are interesting threads to read on peeling the layers of RecentChanges in wikis. While reflecting on the Small Technologies Loosely Joined NMC 2004 session we did last month ion Vancouver, I noticed that someone had taken the effort to paste a bunch of porn URLs on the front page, and shortly there after, someone […]
Another installment on the There is a Niche for Everything on the Net: Urinal Dot Net (I was googling to find the SeaBus Terminal in Vancouver and this was result #2…. why? Only Google Knows)
It’s been more than a day since our Small Technologies Loosely Joined session and Brian, D’Arcy and I are pleasantly amazed that 35+ turned out for the last session of the day, put up with a small cramped room with not enough electrical outlets, and a zany activity of task work in 3 contrived groups.

Checking your web server log for access of the RSS URL do not mean much, as they are continually hit by […]
After yesterday’s online audio LearningTimes session with the Australian Flexible Learning folks, I am again impressed with the fluid exchanges possible with the Elluminate Virtual Classroom— I lost count, but there may have been at least 30 participants not only from Australia, but Denmark (it was 2:00 AM for her) and I believe Brazil.
