- will be back
Fri, 21 Nov 2008 21:55:12 +0000
I’ve scheduled email autoresponders, updated my voicemail, disabled blog comments. I’m now out of the office until Dec. 8, and will be offline for almost the entire time. See you on the other side. - the voice of reason
Fri, 21 Nov 2008 15:47:06 +0000
It’s a really damned scary place, where I’m the one speaking calmly and acting as the voice of reason. It’s happened rather more frequently than I’m comfortable with lately, both online and off. I don’t know if it’s “the economy”, or the shorter days, or something else, but some people seem to have collectively lost their [...] - WordCamp Education Vancouver 2009

The website for Northern Voice 2009 just went live, so the date for WordCamp Education Vancouver 2009 is set. Thursday, February 19, 2009 in Vancouver - the day before Northern Voice (which runs February 20-21 in Vancouver - BE THERE!). The venue for WordCamp Education hasn’t been set yet, but we’ll find a place either on [...] - what should I read while offline?
Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:31:25 +0000
I’m dropping offline soon for a couple of weeks on a family vacation. I’m bringing a book or two, but want to stuff some blog posts and articles that I’ve probably neglected onto my iPod for more in-depth reading. I’m planning on using Instapaper to bring offline copies of stuff so I can read it [...] - Is Flutter a CCK for WordPress?
Tue, 18 Nov 2008 21:29:28 +0000
Following a thread through some blog posts this morning - I started at The Reverend’s post about Martha’s documentation of her hacking on WPMU, including a description of a WordPress plugin I hadn’t heard of before - Flutter. Damn. The Rev’s gonna love this. One of the things I LOVE about Drupal is the fantastic CCK plugin [...] - content is not enough
Sat, 15 Nov 2008 21:58:57 +0000
Brian wrote a great post about the focus on content creation in the open education movement. There were some great comments on that post - some arguing (correctly, IMO) that there isn’t enough great content available. But even that misses the point, I fear. Content is the least important part of education. What is far [...] - UCalgaryBlogs.ca Redesign
Fri, 14 Nov 2008 03:01:32 +0000
I’ve been meaning to redesign the main site at UCalgaryBlogs.ca for awhile now - the Edublogs Clean theme isn’t intended to be dropped in as a stock theme, but as a starting point for hacking something tailor-made. The Edu-Clean theme is available as part of the fantastic Premium WPMUDev subscription - and it certainly helped [...] - Radio Interview on Biking in Calgary
Wed, 12 Nov 2008 16:31:49 +0000
I was interviewed yesterday for a CBC Radio News report that was on the air this morning. We talked for about 15 minutes, and most of it hit the cutting room floor. But at least the bits that got broadcast weren’t too embarrassing… CBC Radio News - Bikes in Calgary Update: apparently they used different clips of [...] - on the insanity of an automaker bailout
Tue, 11 Nov 2008 15:56:13 +0000
The proposed US bailout of greedy financial institutions is crazy enough, but now there’s talk of bailing out the automakers? What in hell happened to the free market? US automakers are in trouble because they build shitty products that people don’t want to buy. And they haven’t retooled fast enough, as others have. Toyota’s not [...] - Walking tour of University of Calgary Campus
Mon, 10 Nov 2008 17:13:54 +0000
Back in the heady early days of podcasting - all the way back in 2005 - one of the first use cases of the technology was to create “walking tours” where a narrator could guide students through a tour of an area. When video podcasting became possible, it would make the guided tours more effective [...]
