One of the benefits of being based in Vancouver is that over the course of a typical year at least three or four major events will take place that don’t involve travel. (Although typically, it’s harder to truly engage a local happening, harder to get clear of the office, etc…) This week I am [...]

Three fairly intense events in the last week, on top of the usual work stuff (busier than usual)… but people have been asking how things went, so I’ll toss up yet another self-absorbed progress report. I am looking forward to spewing some verbiage about what other people are up to soon…
My fears aside, the IT4BC [...]

But I second Leigh’s huzzah’s for how George Siemens is running the show. The Moodle site [...]

I need to write a follow-up post on my first stint working down at COSL. For now, suffice to say that it was an absolute blast, that I learned a great [...]
Bad enough that I haven’t had access to WFMU’s archives, or that my podcasts haven’t come in for nearly a week. Today I learn that things could have been, and may well end up being so, so much worse:
The reason why this outage is lasting so long is that we are on the cusp of [...]

I’ve been trying to write a short post about my arrival in Logan to begin this whole COSL ride for a few days now. Until today, I was so [...]
