Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
Put a big ole squishy love twitter hearting favorite here! The talk I did last month in Puerto Rico, for which I have already published the notes and stuff, is now published. Yes, I am now one of those people. Associated with the enterprise that is a Massive, Money-Soaked Orgy of Self-Congratulatory Futurism. But that’s […]
Via my last post of Facebook Catfishing a commenter led me to this facebook profile of “Timothy Boostrom” who is not using my photo on his profile, but liberally sprinkled them (me) in his own photos: Many of the photos have captions and comments purporting to be in Scotland on July 7, 2015: When in […]
Life presents memory triggers usually, mostly, without any expectation. Tonight is our first winter storm in northern Arizona, with sub freezing temperatures expected, maybe even snow. On my morning rounds in the yard, I was stunned to see new roses and buds on the bush. I know they won’t make the night, so I thought […]
I heed your call, Mike Caulfield, to be part of the Federated Library Project. Partly because of respect for Mike (and that I bailed on doing a FedWiki thing i August), partly because Alyson is boarding for 100 posts, partly because this might call for some neat WordPress tinkering. Many people scratch their heads at […]
This morning was a treat and a half. Five times over. Via a Google Hangout with students in The Hague (Netherlands) connecting three of us in the US, one in Canada, one in Mexico, was the premiere of the videos representing the students work as part of Project Community, a design course at the Hague […]
Big news! Not. I’m a bit lagging behind some of my other colleagues, meaning my price went up a little, but I just moved my freight cars worth of social book marking links to pinboard. I will color myself lame old tired fried sepia-toned and nostalgic, but the simplicity and deftness of pinboard remind me […]
Yep pardner, one more this here edit for a movee I made to promote the Online DS106 course I am teaching starting January 2016 at Kansas State University. Apparently my last version, featuring audio of me and my buddy Bill Genereux talking over a montage of 6-12 second clips of classic western films, generated a […]
Oops. After blabbing how I cannot not write, somehow I have not written anything of my current trip since I was in the Peak Leaf season in Vermont. C’est la blog. So rolling back a few weeks, I flew out of maybe the most adorable airport in the world, Burlington Vermont (the ground crew waves […]
Talk about binary critiques. The Disruptor Poster Twin Child, Uber, is either the greatest thing since sliced something or it’s an evil empire rife with dirty little secrets. Uberization is even part of a marketer’s vocabulary. And of course, it takes half an Silicon Valley latte’s brew time to be Thrun-ed into education. You can […]
A bit late for Kevin’s call for responses for Why I Write. Mine is pretty close to what my friend Karen wrote in the Google Slide Deck Kevin offered: I write because it makes me happy and I cannot not write. It’s that second part that I latch on to — I cannot not write. […]
