Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
Back in my NMC days in 2011 we did a live webinar conversation with Kevin Kelly. While I never got wrapped up in technology wanting things, I do vividly remember Kelly’s concept of immortal technologies, that unlike extinct animals, technologies still remain out on some long tail curve of obscure ebay sales pages. In his […]
One day after arriving in Puerto Rico, they had me planning a workshop / talk for today. That Antonio Vantaggiato, he is one boss hombre, especially now I have deputized him as a Tombstone Marshall 😉 Actually he is one of the kindest and most thoughtful people in our edtech field. It was he who […]
Thanks to the way the open web works, I just put into play a fun new option for my pechaflickr site/game/thing. Nothing is changed with the way it has worked. At the bottom of the site is a link to a Google form that collects info from those willing to to share of how they […]
I’m not a futurist, but I can see about 45 days into the future something new and exciting. And yes, from the image above, this as a “c” and a “c” into it. Do not ask about the symbolism of the cuts on my hand, that was done earlier with a sharp bread knife and […]
The western landscape is full of emptiness, vast stretches of drab land, interrupted by deep canyons or sheer mountains, and infrequent water. My reasons for recently watching The Painted Desert was largely because it was set in an area close to where I live. I had it queued on Amazon Prime; a lesser quality version […]
It’s been a while since I got heated up about catfishing, the bizarre phenomena where apparently groups of poor folks in third world countries find a way to scam, lonely people via fake social media profiles using my photos (when they tire of using Alec) to round out their fake persona. It’s not because anything […]
At my November checkup my doctor did the same routines he has done 4 times a year for the last 5 years I’ve visited, but this time he came up with something new. “I hear a heart murmur.” Murmur? Is that like a heart having a speech impediment? I recalled listening to my Dr’s explanations […]
I’m getting ready for my February travel adventure, a month working with Antonio Vantaggiato at Universidad del Sagrado Corazón in San Juan, Puerto Rico. On thing I will be doing is co-teaching his course Nuevos Medios Digitales y Redes Sociales – INF 115. IN fact, I am doing my “assignment” since he runs a Feed […]
You, put down the iPhone. Let’s reminisce on the sheer excitement of a camera that you could actually see your photos by counting to 60, and then peeling back a sheet of emulsion? Look how excited people are in that left side ad to see “instant” photos. This Polaroid Land Camera, the Automatic 210 belonged […]
During this week’s Western 106 High Noon Radio Show, I was talking about my interest in the western films and stories that are situated in and beyond the end of the era, Not that there is a firm line, but films like The Shootist, Lonely Are The Brave the cowboy figure is a bit of […]
