The calendar reminder was on time today as was my sister Judy with a text messaging noting that today was our Aunt Ruth’s 100th birthday. My Mom’s oldest sister, Ruth has outlived siblings Dinah, Harvey, and Alyce (mom) while Dorothy, the youngest is living too. Judy has heard via Facebook that Ruth’s granddaughter had entered […]
I could not be more excited to see the forces of the Association for Learning Technologies (ALT) doubling up with Reclaim Hosting to smash the atoms of their respective OER and Domains conferences together for the upcoming OERxDomains21 conference. Well I was excited enough to volunteer for the conference planning team. And you should be […]
Most likely I mangled my attempt at wordplay in that title. I’m writing again about my belief/obsession with small acts of daily creativity. I have no real research, no data to back my hypothesis, but I will make up something that applying Curly’s Law to doing something small, new, micro challenging on a regular basis […]
A wavering of the flux capacitor of pandemic time left this post lingering a long time, not even as a draft in WordPress (I almost never leave drafts), but in my mind. In November of Covid-19 Year Zero (aka 2020) I sold the little house in Strawberry Arizona that was my home from 2008 to […]

It took more than 3 months to get here, but having waiting 50 years, well I’m patient. Within a fancy red velvet covered box I got my Joslin Center Medal for having lived with Type 1 Diabetes for 50 years (that line was crossed in late October 2020). The details were spelled out when I […]
Today would be well heck always is my parent’s wedding anniversary. 71 years ago today, Mickey and Alyce got hitched. Married in 1950, their anniversary math was always easy, but damn, the number is getting big. I could tell the story how they met at the pool I believe at Druid Hill park (or was […]
No it’s not that show. But yes, I am back co-teaching Network Narratives with Mia Zamora for a group of intrepid graduate students at Kean University. For the full (of something) story on this adventure, you could tune into the podcast we did a few weeks ago with Terry Greene and Anne-Marie Scott for Check […]
I was a tad skeptical when I saw the tweets being reshared from a student who was (rightfully if true) upset that his university was having dead professors teach classes. It was the macabre right out of a Netflix series idea of the Teaching Dead but then it is amplified by this Slate story, How […]
