This week’s Tech Therapy (yes, I listen) is an interview with Cary Sherman, president of the RIAA. About halfway through, Scott Carlson asks a question I sent in (I’m identified by name and school) about whether colleges and universities are doing enough to meet the DMCA requirements. He couches his answer by saying that some…
Reconstructed after a browser crash. Ugh. Using ScribeFire instead of Google. Sigh. Usually I save as I go, but failed to so this time. Anyway, I will not be able to elegantly retie all the threads I had going, but I’m going to try anyway. I’m normally a David (GTD) Allen fan, but today he…
As I was gearing up for the weekend and planning how I was going to juggle multiple soccer games, an evening out, and general housekeeping, I realized that essentially I could work 24/7 and still not get everything done.

The article points out that 1 in 5 college students took a course online last fall. Traditional four-year private colleges, of course, don’t really do online education. There is some fear that the…
First, there’s this video on the Information R/evolution: I’m in the middle of reading Everything is Miscellaneous, which I highly recommend to anyone who regularly creates, stores, uses, or interacts with information of any kind–which is almost all of us. This video in combination with the book are really hitting home. There are challenges, of…
I haven’t had time to completely debrief my brain about Educause 2007. A lot happened there and I had a lot of really compelling conversations.
