And He Blogs

  One last time I’ll attempt to turn you on to the significance of what Michael Wesch from Kansas State University is trying to do. His talk at ELI 2008 in San Antonio is titled "Human Futures for Technology and Education", and his subtitle is "The Crisis of Significance". As the facilitator notes, Michael is [...]

    The Global Warming debate is, needless to say (but I’m saying it anyway to further this blog post), a contentious one. As Greg the Science Teacher Guy says, a more accurate term is Global Climate Destabilization. So whether you think humans are causing the planet to warm or not, or whether you even [...]

  I’ve talked about Professor Michael Wesch and his Digital Ethnography class at Kansas State University a couple times in the past (here, and here).

Will the combo drive now be a Blu-ray [...]

Of all the crazy “LowerMyBills” advertisements, this one freaks me out the most! The girls legs and those boots (?) have a nauseating effect on me, and it has been on Weather.com for the last several days now. Please stop. Please?

I’d like to elaborate on my first post of the year, which is now relegated to a placeholder for my first lie of the year. My purpose here is to put forth some facts, perspective, opinion, and some predictions. This was probably going to be that first post, but I was still suffering from the [...]

OK. In my last post, my first of 2008, I lied. It was parenthetical, but still a lie. Well at least it was an implied lie that I was in a "blogging funk" and that my post was going to cure that. Neither was true. In fact it is much closer to the truth that [...]
