Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
Ok Rocky. I’ve asked nicely for a story of connection to share in the October 2015 K12 Online Conference. I made a new video. I cleaned up the call for stories. I’ve sent direct emails, DMs. I got 10 so far, thanks Alyson, Dean, Teresa, Cathy, Andy, Kathy, Claudia, Kevin, and Heather. #ThatGlassIsPartlyFullRight I saw […]
It’s hip now to lament the loss of some romanticized web. It’s lost. It’s dead. No the same folks say it’s not dead. Wait a minute, in 2015 it is finally dead. We have to save it (actually we do). It’s boring. It’s lost that loving feeling. It needs to be made fun again. My […]
Wow it has been a long time since I saw a Brunton Pocket Transit, probably back to grad school Geology. It may not have much relevance to the post, but I warm to the nostalgia. Maybe it does, because it was my study of Geology that got me thinking about something I saw online today. […]
Internet, you so fickle. Without much thought, you ca share something frivolous and people are all over it. You’re on fire. You get an idea in your head you think will get spread, and it falls like a lead rock on Jupiter. I’ve only marginally followed the story, but seeing Brett Gaylor’s tweet Robot hitch […]
Pure silliness. I plopped one of the major scientific academic disciplines in front of “.com” and ended up on a dating site. It’s legit. Domain names are the wild west (I am hoping to pick up a special vanity domain soon). But this turned into a funny 30 minutes of diversion as I saw where […]
I know I dream at night. But 99% of the mornings I awake with zero recall of what and where my subconscious roamed overnight. Friends can recount dreams with fully developed plots, dialogue. My recall of dreams is usually like “I was in a boat.” Perhaps due fatigue of finally getting home after an intense […]
Upon arriving home today I found the photo above on a postcard from my sister- on the back it reads “Couldn’t resist!” She’s referring to my first dog, Dominoe, who traveled with me out to Arizona in 1987. With some sad irony, yesterday marked the day she passed on to Rainbow Bridge. I have to […]
It’s time to croon again. I am slated as a keynote for the 2015 K12 Online Conference in the “Connection Stories” track. So it was an easy yes to do a new round of True Stories of Open Sharing, with an ask for ones related to connection. Here is my ask, filmed the day before […]
Today marks the calendar lap of my grandmother’s passing in 2003. “Granny” was a one of a kind person, to me as a kid she was the emblem of someone full of life, a sense of sophistication she was always go go go. Even if my perceptions were not true to life, I still adored […]
According to my Kindle Reader I am only 18% into Alex Wright’s Cataloging The World: Paul Otlet and the Birth of the Information Age. But I am all in. As a precedent to Vannevar Bush, Belgian information organizer Otlet is credited with envisioning many of the technologies and ideas behind this internet thing I am […]
