I’ve been thinking about the pace of MOOCs, and then got bent on a track to make the animated GIF from one of my all time epic movies. The later thought was that this actually applies to any course, and of course a course (Wilbur, where are my oats?) has to have a schedule. But… […]
cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog I could not be more unplugged right now if I tried. Some of the decision for unplugging from my position at the University of Mary Washington last Thursday was my departure to participate in Unplug’d 2012. This is the conference event thing (?) where 40 […]
It was more than a year ago that I got an email request from Millenium Press asking about license to use one of my Gigapan images for what sounded like an interesting project- they have published the world’s largest atlas of the world. Earth Platinum is a printed atlas that is 6 feet high! The […]

I could not resist this, even though I really should have spent the last hour doing something productive. But I read Mike Caulfield’s post on True of EdTech As Well, where he latches on to a criticism of the TED technocratic approach to world problems, and this quote from a quote just cried out to […]
That’s right. “They” will be here, keeping you up late at night in front of the blinking screen — rattling their animated chains, broadcasting ghostly noises, spooking you to do things daily, remixing your senses… August 27 marks the start of the two online sections of ds106 at University of Mary Washington. Will “you” be […]
No one really reads this blog, I hope. I am testing this. Let’s say we need to add some documentation here for doing email…
Thanks to a tweet from Doug Belshaw I found a nifty service for moving photos between different photo sharing sites- while functionally useful, pixelpipe or http://pi.pe is an interesting model to look at data transfer. https://twitter.com/dajbelshaw/status/231787637093064705 You authenticate with the service via either Facebook or a Google account (I hear you cringing), and then in […]
