I’m amazed the gears still turn on some of my old web sites. Sure, the old HTML still works, I have a conference “paper” on the web I did in 1994 that still functions. But it does not really provide more than static information. I smiled at seeing a tweet from friends in New Zealand […]
Gah TV. For someone who was totally raised from watching 1970s cartoons, sitcoms on a large glowing box, my hunger these days to “watch” is nil. Not being any kind of “All TV is Bad” purist, I just choose not to have it beamed in my house. I find IM just end devouring time better […]
Almost a year ago Mia Zamora and I got very excited about the idea for a class we would co-teach in the spring. The rest was is Alchemy. Last week I headed back to Irvine, California for the 2017 DML Conference where I will get to share that alchemy (sadly Mia is not able to […]
At least in spoken form we no longer have to explain who “Earl” is. But still, the fundamental element of the web (which to be understood we used to have to name as “The World Wide Web”) on what is now the more common platform of access, is becoming harder to even find. It’s worth […]
That was me a few days ago being tossed from my workshop demo at DML. Wednesday was the 2017 DML pre-conference workshop Staking Your Claim: How the Open Web is Won for Teaching & Learning I did with Kim Jaxon, who had zero hesitation with my goofy western metaphors. This was a second round from […]

Are SPLOTs becoming a thing? Spotted this tweet this morning… I'm thinking to use TRU Writer SPLOT by @cogdog for #openmed learning logs. Thx @jimgroom @villaronrubia for the healthy food for thoughts! — Cristina Stefanelli (@cri_ste) September 30, 2017 I’m thinking about this kind of request as I get stuff ready for the Staking Your […]
I prefer not knowing exactly how flickr picks photos to be in it’s explore featured area. It just sort of happens. I know when either there is a weird spike in activity or you get the norice that your photo has been added to the In Explore group. I’ve had a few get in there, […]
I long dreamed of playing guitar through a stack of Marshall amps. The problem for anyone in range would be my horrible musical signal going in. But that’s not the topic of this post. If I have learned anything in my unplanned career in online stuff it’s the value of putting ideas, questions out there, […]
Sue me, I’m an idealist. Okay, I will add one more to that note on the fridge: “Say thanks.” I still maintain that way too much emphasis on the realm of advocating openness, open licenses, is based on the creators side. That putting a license on your work “protects” it from uses you prefer not […]
