I’ve been eyeballing an ever increasing amount of web-based platforms for bringing together content (or microcontent, or nanocontent) from multiple sources, the echo again of Small Technologies (Pieces) Loosely Joined (note- if the content there is replaces by a wiki spam link, just wait until the bot resets the mess. Brian- you may want to […]
It’s been 2 few weeks since we released the first online version of our MCLI iForum publication (see the background info blogged nearby). We are hoping to push the publication envelope to go completely online (the print button is in the reader’s hands) and using WordPress as a publishing platform. Our timing was not optimal […]
With the end of the year coming soon (in academia; our system has been slowing to a halt as the semester ends, faculty leave, e-mail volume plummets, and parking spaces become abundant), I am trying to avoid end of the year wrap=up or next year prognostication. However, I do feel some urge to think a […]

Hmm, the last slew of things written here have been rather snippy. It might be time to see the doctor and get some more blue pills.
I’ve never taken a business class and come to my own conclusions on business practice based on my own direct experience. But shee-ooot, what do the folks in Harvard have in mind? A few months ago, I got a letter from Northwest Airlines– I used them about 4 years ago for a flight to Michigan, […]
First, of all, the answer is “no”. The question is what Will at Work Learning poses in Are Wiki’s Inherently Flawed?.
