This has nothing to do with McDonalds, but I loved the flickr image so much, I’m making a metaphorical stretch. No, this is a clarion call to Remember the Blog! As we get more distributed in where our e-attention goes, be it various social networks, virtual worlds, and more recently twitter, I’m wondering, as are […]
This barking is only partly about twitter. Well, actually its not about twitter at all, but I think I can satisfy some sanity overload by mentioning twitter 3 times in my first three sentences. Over the long Memorial Day weekend here in the states, I’ve spent almost no time on the computer, and not much […]
My Faculty Academy presentation “Being There: nets, tweets, avatars” is getting some eyeballs where it is sitting in slideshare. Just got a note that it is now listed on their featured presentations page and has me thinking I should comb back through and make sure I’ve not done something typical like mispelling my own name […]
Uh-oh, my 15 minutes of fame on TV is out and might be up. As previously noted, a few weeks back, I flew in and out of San Jose to be a panelist on the Ready2Net panel on “Web 2.0 Comes to Campus” (Drat you Bryan Alexander, likely too busy yourself, you should have been […]

Title is a nod to colleagues in the audience who are film buffs. Is anyone a fan of Chance the Gardner? My metaphor may land askew (not the first time), but as a simple person thrust into a strange new world by sheer circumstance, maybe he was foreshadowing web 2.0– and his child like basic […]
Hmmm. seems to be some blockages or bottlenecks in public network here at Faculty Academy- cannot post to twitter, tweets are getting munched in the network. Attempting to tweet via blog post. Update: The local network here was not to blame. Twitter itself has been/is very flaky. That darn cat messing with the server was […]
Live from Faculty Academy at University of Mary Washington… Barbara Ganley is tasking us about how we use web technology– responding to some of the opening panel remarks of reluctance to blogging about their project. She asks us What is the correlation between your own personal use of web technologies and the way you use […]
I’ve landed safely for Faculty Academy 2007 here at University of Mary Washington. For 2 years, I’ve watched and listened remotely to podcasts, secretly desiring to be a part of this amazing series of events (and still trying to figure out how the heck Gardner managed last year to get Jon Udell to be a […]
