I’m doing a keynote session for the Basic/Advanced Training track for the K12 Online Conference in October — themed “Unleashing the Potential” (Darren had great words of flattery, plus its a great gang to team up with). The ideas are still brewing, but I was keen to rather than talk generally about the nuts and […]
Sorry Atlanta, you are a fine city, but I can hardly refrain from recommending to anyone to avoid airplane connections at your airport. My 1:45 flight from Baltimore here landed an hour late, and despite Delta’s announcements that “connecting flights had been notified”, they did not relay this to my Austin connection, which left without […]

The spammer was generating a feed that had embedded javascript in the channel->description field of the feed, and when rendered via Feed2JS with […]
It takes a creative mind to think of a catchy clog subtitle, you know, a pithy phrase that can run underneath the blog’s name. Leave it to Guy Kawasaki’s Signum sine tinnitu: or skipping passed the image squinting: Blogger. n. Someone with nothing to say writing for someone with nothing to do. Perfect. And just […]
My mis-behaving MacBookPro started its vacation a day before mine, but alas, it’s time away from home is shorter than mine… it was shipped to Apple from my doorstep Thursday afternoon, the 24th, while I left town Friday morning. The MBP was at Apple’s Spa for Weary Laptops on Friday, and turned around the next […]
flickr foto no_trespassavailable on flickr I cannot read signs that I do not like. Blog activity subject to severe fluctuation– I am off for 12 days at our cabin retreat in Strawberry, AZ, where yes, Stephen, there are truly forests in Arizona. So I will have my feet on the rail of the deck, or […]
