List crossing. Attending (and presented) yesterday at the Modern Language Association Conference here in Vancouver. I mingled with more rhetoricians then I usually do. I got to meet Sean Michael Morris and Jesse Strommel of Hybrid Pedagogy fame. My session yesterday was part of a panel on Visionary Pedagogies for the Twenty-First Century: Teaching the […]
Two and a half years ago at the 2012 Northern Voice Conference, Giulia Forsythe, Zack Dowell, and I took our presentation into an alley behind the W venue. In the rain, we cemented a USB thumb drive (which the participants had added files via a Piratebox before we went outside) into the crevice of a […]
Google Glass is so 2014. Get with the program. Next week begins the second half of my TRU Open Scholar Fellowship with much of the next two months devoted to an eight week open seminar I am doing with Brian Lamb. The throttle is open though I am not sure we checked the Fuel Tank. […]
Photos taken on January 1 are important to me as they are the start of a new daily photo set/album on flickr, a practice I have done every year back TO 2008. For this first day of the new year I traveled from Vancouver to Victoria via BC Ferries. It was the fourth in a […]
If you thought Mike Caulfield was excited for months about Smallest Federated Wiki, you should read what he thinks after bring a great group of folks to his FedWikiHappening… over the Christmas holiday.

Perhaps the most treasured digital bits I have is the hour of audio recorded of my Mom telling stories of her growing up in Baltimore in the 1930s. I recorded this on a visit after after her 80th birthday; and was on my way to visit some 18 months after when she passed away unexpectedly. […]
Navin R. CogDog: The new JIME’s here! The new JIME’s here! Harry Groom: Boy, I wish I could get that excited about nothing. Navin R. CogDog: Nothing? Are you kidding? Page 106 – Levine, Alan H.! I’m somebody now! Millions of people look at this paper everyday! This is the kind of education publicity – […]
In past years I have done the extensive mailing of hand made letters/cards to friends and family. I have also done nothing too. I’ve done web based greetings. I’ve done lame text messages. Gotta mix up the game. With being away from home in Canada since late October, the plans for anything year end have […]
