I am currently working on lessons April 30th, 2010
I have the opportunity to madly plunge into the project-abyss. I will, of course, do so. The trick will be in scaling operations appropriately. Start small but not unnoticeable. Grow bigger, but do not succumb to biggering.
Oh, what to do first. Well, legal paperwork is first and then... [Read More] |  |

how could I forget KARTOO? October 7th, 2009
In the middle of my interview I forgot the name of my favorit alternate search engine. Yes, I slam google about ninety thousand times a day, but when I am not googling, I KARTOO!

And then I spend a lesser amount of time doing semantic web stuff and generally poking... [Read More] | |

Opportunities for cataloging! September 23rd, 2009
Cataloging was one of the classes in grad school where, once I started the class, I realized that I would have loved to have taken a lot more classes in that subject. Unluckily for me, I took that class almost last and missed out on the joy of indexes, resource description frameworks, taxonomies,... [Read More] | |

I am looking for another BNF title to bring to a local film fest, and i am also trying to set up a wishlist of Chlesea GReen Titles. If all goes well, activists of all stripes in... [Read More] | |

Small Group Critical Mass May 16th, 2009
I am not really likening anyone I work with to a child. But I do think of the groups I work with as children. That is because I work with small groups that are making transitions. Transition is hard for individuals as well as groups, but in groups the problem stems from getting more and varied... [Read More] | |

Projects that have waited forever April 24th, 2009
I have been accused both justly and unjustly of not handling the introduction of new applications in group projects. Justly because I too am learning how technology deployment is "best" done in various types of endeavors and unjustly because people are willing to suggest shit so long as I... [Read More] | |

Statistics. And the desire to kick the crap out some people March 26th, 2009
Given the statistics on the number of children currently in the sex "industry", I have the great desire to smack the crap out of the pope and anyone else advocating that abortion or any form of family planning is "wrong". An economic system based on fucking a destitute four year... [Read More] | |

Where I am going with all of this, right now. February 2nd, 2009
I have had to look a little harder at the need and want dichotomy that drives my "to do" list. I noted in one of my blogs that Drupal had to move up the list into a more prominent position because I see that WSUV is now running some php pages, and the Drupal rollover cannot be too far...

Demo decisions January 14th, 2009
I am currently in the process of loading up my test environment with the top 6 open source and free learning management systems (LMS). Moodle and Ilias are going up first. Part of the decision making process stems from cost; free systems have moved to the top of the tree becuase they are FREE. The... [Read More] | |

Atrocity Arts 2009 with a bang! January 13th, 2009
I have the greatest pleasure in announcing that I get to actually help deploy a full e-learning / distance ed. course. In graduate school the learning management systems market was fairly new. It was an awesome time to start to delve into content management systems and to begin to evaluate course... [Read More] |  |
