Musings on Education, Technology, Pop Culture, Religion & Staying Curious
Another day, another Fair Use issue in the headlines. After working with my graduate students over the past six months I’m left with the feeling that most of them approach the subject of copyright as something that the big media companies hold over their heads, preventing them from using the music that they want in [...]

Done… Man, what a pain in the ass! But it’s done. All of these blogs previous entries (going all the way back to 2003!) have been moved to main blog. Next job is to create different page templates for each blog category. Yeah. Simplify and diversify at the same time. What a f-ing geek am [...]
I knew someone had to put together a video of clips from the Mars Phoenix short life… I’m not one to anthropomorphize my own computers or gadgets but when I got my first “tweet” from the lander I was touched in a way that went past scientific curiosity: parachute is open!!!!! 7:50 PM May 25th [...]

The week began with me catching some playful hell for twittering while I was supposed to be “judging” my friends’ game of Trivial Pursuit.

This item crossed my consciousness via Twitter, thanks to the EdTech blog “willisays.” I love the serendipity of the web. Visiting the site, I see links to Publish, Donate & Promote. I’m not going to wait until October 15th to begin the conversation… Blog Action Day 2008 Poverty from Blog Action Day on Vimeo.
I was hanging out with friends Saturday night, typical night out downtown with the gang, having a few brewskies, some fondue, a little friendly game of Trivial Pursuit. I was the designated “fifth wheel” so I decided to be the judge of the match between a co-worker, her husband and another coworker and his roommate. [...]
