Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
I’m not a MOOC completer. I am zero for life. My longest duration has been maybe 2 weeks, and more typically, much less. I am not denying that others get value of them and develop rich connective experiences. But I find the recipe structure and the activity behind a login as lifeless as the job […]
Dog turds and clickbait are a match. Follow my story. Yesterday I was in Payson, the “big” town nearest me (~15,000 people, where there is a Home Depot, Walmart, Safeway, doctors, fast food, hospital, maybe one good coffee shop. I had a string of appointments lined up. There was one I could not schedule was […]
Yesterday’s twitter was piped with laments of the too early death of musician Chris Cornell. I have to admit not knowing much of the man, but his distinctive voice and raw style have been swirling in my mixes for a while, a handful of Temple of the Dog and Soundgarden tracks. Dr Sava(SavaSava) reminded me […]

I’m hard on my laptop keyboard. That photo is my 3 year old MacBook Pro. Gone are e-r-t-i-o-a-s-h-n plus the Shift key and space bar are showing fatigue. You will see similar patterns on my older 2009 one, and the one before that I managed to crack the shift key. Several people at the Creative […]

If you are attending the NMC 2017 Summer Conference in Boston, I have a media/fake factoid challenge for you. By taking it on you can finally solve a vexing (what I believe is a) chimerical myth. And you can win CASH money. I have been chasing down this media myth since 2012, the oft repeated, […]
OH NOES NOT DEFINITIONS! Fear not, it’s not happening. But today during the blog-star-studded-most-of-them-self-deprecating hangout on “Open Pedagogy Open Discussion #YearOfOpen” (see the resource doc too) Mike Caulfield made an interesting comment about openness and the metaphor of “permeability” which raises my Geology sensors (Maybe 5 years of undergraduate and 6 in graduate study of […]
