My next talk for the TCC 2015 conference (the 20th one) has me digging in the catacombs of web history; I was looking trough my files for what I had from my talks in 1996. I have a fairly complete archive of stuff I did from my stints at the Maricopa Community Colleges (1992-2006) and […]
Add to that sign… “NO STEALING OF ONLINE IMAGES.” In my hobbled opinion the problem about reuse of media is copyright. Duh. No not what you think; our framing of what one should use openly licensed content is nearly always […]

Blame Mike… https://twitter.com/holden/status/568875343165071360 How can I avoid such a calling?
