Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
Apparently until Queen Victoria there was no traditional 65th anniversary gift; the charts jumped from 55th to 75th. Sapphire means blue in Greek. The sapphire stones are characterized by their extreme hardness exceeded only by the diamond and their color and transparency. The blue sapphire is often called the gem of the sky and it […]
In consulting You Show participants on their site organization, I am trying to help them see there are more opportunities for the front page than the long river of reverse chronological ordered posts. Many themes (like the Virtue Theme on the You Show) give you an option to display posts from a category, rather than […]
It starts, as often it does, with a tweet… https://twitter.com/audreywatters/status/563176357576712192 Audrey’s series on The History of the Future of Education is more than book worthy. In her latest, The Automatic Machine, Audrey takes us more into this past future history. I’ve read previous bits by her about Sidney Presser and claims for inventions of machines […]
I’m willing to even give them some slack, like maybe 1945. It’s not just Verizon, but that is who I pay every month for operating a network that allows computers to generate phone calls to me from numbers that do not exist. I plan to write Verizon often in this post, just in case they […]
In some alternate universe, this past Tuesday I was visiting my brother to celebrate his 62nd birthday. I am likely teasing him for being so old. This is just my imagination wandering. David never made it to his 36th circuit around the sun, and mentally, I was told his brain might have made two laps. […]

In the rain, we cemented a USB thumb drive (which the participants had added files via a Piratebox before we went outside) into the crevice of a […]
If you thought Mike Caulfield was excited for months about Smallest Federated Wiki, you should read what he thinks after bring a great group of folks to his FedWikiHappening… over the Christmas holiday. And while my Kool-Aid consumption is at a positively high level, I am not quite there to Mike’s. But as they overly […]
I’m planning on skipping the philosophical life’s been good to me so far year end posts, but cannot pass up on my most regular activity since 2008- my daily photo (almost every day) post to flickr. You can get the back story in previous posts, but more or less, after seeing D’Arcy Norman do it […]
Perhaps the most treasured digital bits I have is the hour of audio recorded of my Mom telling stories of her growing up in Baltimore in the 1930s. I recorded this on a visit after after her 80th birthday; and was on my way to visit some 18 months after when she passed away unexpectedly. […]
Navin R. CogDog: The new JIME’s here! The new JIME’s here! Harry Groom: Boy, I wish I could get that excited about nothing. Navin R. CogDog: Nothing? Are you kidding? Page 106 – Levine, Alan H.! I’m somebody now! Millions of people look at this paper everyday! This is the kind of education publicity – […]
