These two posts coupled with this past week’s revelation by one of my favorite bloggers of the terrible threats via blogs and email to her life and psychological safety (I cannot bring myself to even link to her report…do a search for Kathy Sierra and you will see plenty on the blogosphere about it, I’m…

Five Principles to Design By
Found this via Original Signal. This little essay sums up much of what I think about design but also gives me pause as I consider some of the projects I have in the design hamster wheel right now. His principles (with a little pull quote from the essay) Technology Serves Humans (“People should never feel…
Testing the “Blog This”….link on The Onion Site. Going Beyond the simple: Email or Print this story
So, I found this story on The Onion (by way of my RSS feed from TechCrunch – linktributions all around!). The story amused me and I passed it along using the Email link that I am used to seeing at the bottom of such sites. Then, I looked at the rest of the links. Hmm..blog…
Visualizing the Complex and the Related
As a frustrated artist-wannabe, I am always intrigued by projects that work to visually explain, connect, explore and/or organize complex relationships between people/events/news/insert your item here.

P365 – Random thoughts one month in
Okay..it’s been one month since I started my Project 365. I thought it was time to look at the process and share some of my (VERY) random thoughts on the process. First, some facts. I have: taken 261 images on the SD card made 2 backups of the images and one backup of my SQL…
I *think* it is nice to be noticed in the edu blogosphere
Imagine my surprise when I saw my project management book listed in my RSS feed from Stephen Downes. I’m thinking he was not terribly excited about it. And, the blog listing he gave as linktrobution also seems less than thrilled. But, I know that my chapter was not ADDIE oriented but rather more about the…
P365.22
When the leaves finally fall away, you can see little things in the trees. I thought this nest was just perfect
HIIANA
HIIANA = Hey, I invented a new acronym!! I was driving on the interstate yesterday and saw a huge banner on the side of a budget motel stating “FREE HSIA”. I pondered for a second and then realized, oh, Free High Speed Internet Access. When did HSIA become an acronym? Is it really one? In…
