First, of all, the answer is “no”. The question is what Will at Work Learning poses in Are Wiki’s Inherently Flawed?. While it provides a provoacative blog post title, the question is aimed wrong, and not really even answered. The underlying belief about wikis is that “all of us are smarter than a few of […]
It’s wonderful when real people can utter statements that go beyond what someone’s imagination can conjure up. I live in Scottsdale, Arizona, a city known for its luxury resorts, endless seas of golf courses, ritzy art galleries, giant mansions (who truly requires 15,000 square feet of living space), monster SUVs, etc. The money increases as […]
Some people may pay heed to the title of Glen Campbell songs (who is a local, and has even taken tours of the Phoenix Jail) and give me a call or email before landing at Sky Harbor Airport. Micheal Roy, from Wesleyan, and I have exchanged emails for a few years but have always missed […]
Swallowed whole. The Company Formerly Known As Macromedia. No funny joined names. 7 years ago, I might have cared. Today? A collective yawwwwwwn.
Once they were mighty vessels of communication, plowing the Internet waters of the 1980s, 1990s. Yes, the big ships labeled “Listservs” were the place for social networking then, information exchange. I’ve remarked before about listservs being on the Quagga Trail and I keep my subscriptions to the barest minimum. Today, after posting replying to something […]
I feel like I have almost nothing of an immune system, some of this I acknowledge to being diabetic, and maybe the rest to some strong voodoo. I think someone could sneeze in New Jersey and I would end up with a cold in Arizona. Anyhow, the viruses got shared at our home over Thanksgiving, […]
Trying to make a doctor appointment, I am on hold, and what music comes piping in? It is Led Zeppelin doing Whole Lotta Love, not some muzaked version (I had an elevator experience with a Muzakized Stairway to Heaven). Yup, Dr G’s office phone is rockin’: You need coolin’, baby, I’m not foolin’, I’m gonna […]
It’s rare I feel like passing on something forwarded via e-mail, but this message form my colleague Jan in Melbourne is too good to pass up. Look carefully at the double meanings in these URLs (all real and well meaning): Make sure you don’t make the same mistake when setting up your web page. It’s […]
The CD is here! As the tale told previously goes, a rock band in Germany named The Sealevel somehow found my photo of my 1972 Ford Maverick parked next to a “Sea Level” sign in Death Valley and asked if it could be used on the cover of their CD. I just popped by my […]
Readers and my most sarcastic fans know my reluctance to blandly use the “Web 2.0” word, but bear with me– the decimals don’t matter, what I struggle with is the ratio issue. Daily I interact, participate, create, dwell, explore in this place of “folksonomic social networked connective reading/writingWeb 2.0-ish world” — yet I work in […]
