Literally? Nah, just that I have a photo that fits. I am excited, honoured (note = spelling, lived time in Canada has left Fahrenheit behind and extra u’s are now slippin’ in) to have been asked by founder Yasin Dahi to be on the Advisory Board for his nifty open source startup called Learnful that […]
Maybe I will just leave this post as a tweeted blog title without any explanation. Let’s leave the conten as an exercise of the imagination for “The Reader.” Ok. Wait. Ummm. Maybe? Nah. This is another installment in the vein of web serendipity, amazing story of openness making, et al where someone I don’t know […]
I have not jumped on the #ungrading hashtag but glance at it often and respect the efforts people share to move away from point system approaches and quiz/testing as measures of proxies of quasi-indicators of learning. The participation in the Ungrading Book Club and now EdCamp is impressive. This post has bounced in my heads […]
Here is another one of those small winding internet trails I found myself on without anticipating of it. Back of the mind, this leads me to wonder about highly structured learning __________ systems, where everything is precisely detailed and specified, and leaves no room for wandering off trail.

The audience who appreciates a subtle reference to recursion, a machine that makes machines, or going meta about something meta is sized down there maybe in the single digits… of one hand. Oh well, if anything I write to amuse myself. Insert laughter. So speaking of turning on a machine of productivity, Martin Weller is […]
Mmmmm memes. I love that I do not have to explain them. Yet there’s much more to just passing them around or responding to someone’s tweet/email/text message with one you yank off the web. I’ve tried to make the case that there is a use for silly media (and again). We put them to use […]
“Oh no, Granny! I must call you and apologize for not doing so on your birthday, last Friday… at least I made your split pea soup…” She would have been 116 that day — plus or minus as the story goes, October 15 was picked by a Census taker since Baby Janet lacked a birth […]
It seems like you can hardly spit these days without hitting a podcast. Spit at me, I am at it too! What you can do these days (like having a web based multi-source recording studio, like Zencastr is far ahead of what I was doing in 2006 with a tiny pocket sized digital recorder. I’ve […]
