Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
This is for @pumpkiny, trapped in an edupreneur conference full of MOOC hustlers… I could go for that, so who is going to be the 2000-teens version of Anita Bryant? “He’s not a talking bird, he’s a thinking bird. He thinks MOOC” Sorry, MOOC mocking helps me stay sane.
UPDATE APR 18, 2013: The archive lives! Watch the insanity!
A bit of shtick I used in today’s TCC World Online Conference keynote was an idea that settled in my noggin and would not shake loose.
You should be confused. Today was a ds106 daily create monstrosity I can take responsibility for, and is one that busts my usual mantra of “things that you can create in 20 minutes”. Today’s assignment: Lipdub a video of yourself in another language talking seriously about crickets. Write the script and record the video. Then […]
For all you reclaimers of the web, that was, or is… I’ve been immersed in the present future as portrayed in the past, 1976 to be precise. I’ve been a bit obsessed with the Paddy Chayefsky’s epic Network, which then was not a connection of people on digital lines, but of the television network. If […]
Yesterday I put up the tombstone for Feed2JS, on its life support after 10 years. But like any good zombie, I just cannot kill it, it rose from the grave, and shall continue to provide free RSS content in your web sites, for FREE! Cartoon Zombie by ~Sabotender Brian Teller, a web developer in Hagerstown […]

Time keeps on running past me, teasing, “Nyeh nyeh, you are BEHIND on blogging”.
Dirty scumbag, that Time.
Now it is closing in one a month since my 3 week jaunt to parts of Asia, and huge tracts of land remain uncharted. Like anyone is complaining.
Anyhow, the second leg of my tour was a week in Singapore, a first time visit. I have to admit some super geography ignorance. When I knew of the trip invitation to go to Japan, I said, “hey I am in the neighborhood, why not go visit Jabiz Raisdana in Singapore”.

Long time blog friend, and having met once in Shanghai, I kind of missed the fact that it was more then 3000 miles, a 7 hour flight from Tokyo to Singapore. But I got there (despite some adventures with a late night arrival and a cab driver who could not seem to find the gate to the school).
But next day, I was there in Jabiz’s classroom, a vibrant setting I had only seen in his blog words and flickr photos. A huge thanks of appreciation goes to Jeff Plaman and Caroline Meeks, who really were the ones who coordinated, arranged my trip, and lined me up with a full schedule of sessions at UWCSEA.
The dirt goes in the hole by May 30, 2013 (the end date of softlayer’s billing cycle)… the Feed2JS server will be cancelled on May 28, and the lights go out. For some time, the domain will be pointed at an information site on wordpress.con, and a small “nag” notice is now appended to all […]
A special edition of the ds106 show (the weekly live broadcast all about Digital Storytelling and ds106) takes place Tuesday, April 16 as a keynote session for the 2013 TCC Online Conference. The folks down in the basement have been working feverishly to produce the new promo spot for this sessions: This is pretty much […]
cc licensed ( BY NC ND ) flickr photo shared by rmelgares The next phase of closing down the Feed2JS service is done (the lights go out on the server by June 2, 2013). In a sort of reclaim effort, I moved the home of the code from Google Code to github. I am extremely […]
