Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
DS106 radio is coming up on its 4th birthday in February. I’m skipping all of the what it is stuff, besides to say that it is free form internet radio. We give away all you need to do a live broadcast. But it needs a fully loaded set of audio to play ongoing. The programmed […]
A few weeks ago, as a favor for a friend buying a computer, I did something unusual. I went inside a mall. My formative late teen age years were spent at Security Square Mall in Baltimore (named for its proximity to the headquarters of the Social Security Administration). My last job before leaving Arizona was […]
A meandering romp through the relationships of us and our tools to what it means to develop/use technologies that are what Audrey Watters write as “habitable, sustainable, and healthy”. So oft uttered in the edtech field, having done my share of uttering in the early years– “Technology is Just a Tool.” It’s. Almost. As. Frequent. […]
An endless theme in the CogDogBlog House, promoting the radical, all so time consuming habit (invisible sarcasm tags here) of giving other people attribution for what they share. Eight years ago I hoped I had coined linktribution. Never caught on. But since I’m on a flickr roll as it seems from the confusion of licensing […]

I appreciate these kinds […]
Having accomplished the tsunami wave riding disruption of higher education, Coursera is not resting on their laurels or profit line. No, the crushing of the archaic system is more than imminent, it’s cruising at 35,000 feet. In December 2015 the Learning Really Begins. At 30,000 feet, online higher education isn’t the most effective thing on […]
Two weeks ago I was in Vancouver for the ETUG Fall 2014 Workshop, what a great gathering and with their un-conference format, a refreshing experience from the typical conference grueling treadmill present-o-rama format. I was not sure I would stand up an pitch a session, but I was sort of prepared, I had brought the […]
In less than 24 hours, via a google doc and some messaging, friends have helped me produce produce a song cover. Quite some time ago, Giulia Forsythe suggested I should do a cover of 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover for the 50 Web Ways to Tell a Story site. At one time I looked […]
I ought to be the last person to get wade into the waters of arguing over definitions. By definition I loathe quibbling over definitions. But c’mon, Chronicle of Writing Poorly But Great at Oversensationalizing Headlines About Higher Education, I cannot event tell what topic el Chrono is writing about. Blame it on the weak wifi […]
