A Fighter for Colleges That Have Everything but Status – New York Times I have other things on my mind, but I ran into this article this morning which mentioned my own alma mater as a place that changes lives. I’m not sure if that was true of my school 20 years ago, but maybe…
Ever since the Educause Management Institute, I’ve been thinking about this issue. I was one of a handful of people who didn’t currently have Manager or Director or some other “leadership” title at the conference. At first, I thought this would be a problem, that I wouldn’t have anything to talk about. It turns out…
Over the last week, I’ve been reading the comments on my last post and a couple of other posts related to mine. It’s heartening to hear that people want me to continue writing. I know that many of the people who say so also understand the difficulties of writing openly. I have said to myself…

I’ve always been observant, but then I usually try…

Steve Jobs, I guess, is urging music companies to drop DRM and now EMI is in talks with several music services about the possibility of selling its entire catalog to them without DRM. I’ve always hated DRM. It punishes the wrong…
One of the more interesting conversations I had last week was about filtering. What we were discussing was the difference between what we do and say at work and what we do and say “off the clock.” We were describing how we filter our thoughts and words at work and that sometimes that varies depending…
In some ways I’m glad the wireless was too wonky for me to bother with posting every night. Instead of staring at my computer screen, I was out with lots of great people, sharing stories, laughing, and generally having a great time! A shout out to Matt, April, Kirt, Kyle, the entire orange team and…
I’m in a very lovely place, but it has the slowest internet ever. I’m participating in an institute for the next four days, a kind of intensive training course. I’m a little apprehensive about the whole process. I’m not sure I’ll fit in. I’m not sure what I’ll get out of it. I am looking…
