Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
My mind works by strange associations, free formed links, connecting, unconnecting, often ending up in the neural equivalent of “page not found”. So on reading this tweet in the Connected Courses twitter flow: MT @papahazama: Why we need to go beyond the #LMS by @audreywatters http://t.co/mML8PRo46i #ccourses @greenstratdoc — jeremy b williams (@jeremybwilliams) September 8, […]

My return home Friday was a 10 day, 1500 mile loop originally planned to cross through all of the Four Corners States. Sorry Utah, I ended up cutting you out, but I still love your sandstone canyon lands.
This was somewhat of a dress rehearsal for a similar length drive I will take in mid October to get to Kamloops, BC for a start of a 4 month fellowship at Thompson Rivers University. This trip gave me chance to see how it feels behind the wheel for so long (the drive home is usually a long marathon, 520 miles stretched over 13 hours), but also to see how things worked packing gear without the camper shell on my truck.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XS3GssVNdXw Should teaching/learning be this fun? Heck yeah. Yesterday, my blog brothers Jim “Click” Groom and Howard “Embed” Rheingold launched the first live session for Connected Courses and open connected course about teaching open connected courses (see recursion). The first two week segment we, the Connected Brothers, are running is the “Pre-course” meant to onboard […]
I made this video today while driving through Monstrose CO using the new Hyperlapse app (music added in Youtube)- it is a sped up and somewhat smooth, frenetic trip through that kind of traffic light choked franchise encased commercial strip that exist not only across the US, but elsewhere in the world. This is Main […]
Look at those kids (sometime in the late 1940s (?)), are they thinking about one day having kids? of seeing their kids have kids? of not being around? Of course not, that’s not what you do on a blanket at Cascade Lake. Today, a tough double calendar reminder Three years ago, my mom fell to […]
I’m pretty excited to work out my newest Storybox, a PirateBox device hidden inside an old Brownie camera I’ve seen some hacks on the PirateBox forums where people have set up enclosures with lights the activate when the thing is on. I was looking yesterday at the shutter mechanism in the front of the camera, […]

Just a quick post here to reference what I posted on the Connected Courses site as part of the “pre-course” unit September 2 to 14 I am co-doing with Jim Groom and Howard Rheingold. This is the equivalent of what we used to do in ds106 as “Boot Camp” (probably a metaphor not useful worldwide) […]

As a photographer and lover of old devices, I do not think I could have found a better container for my new PirateBox. I found this old Brownie Camera at Granny’s Antiques in Payson; I was looking for a small interesting container for this small router and power supply (it was almost in a wooden […]
