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.

As a photographer and lover of old devices, I do not think I could have found a better container for my new PirateBox.
