  1. working on my 'speaking in lolcats' talk - I've got the logical structure in place, now rounding up new media 'vocabularies' to fill it in about 21 hours ago from web
  2. @miczl Yes all data was backed up (remember, everyone, back up your data! because you never know when...) Now loading 4217 songs to new iPod 6:40 PM Nov 10th from web
  3. feeling unhappy... my iPod was lost/stolen on my flight to Toronto 6:09 PM Nov 10th from web
  4. More phishing messages today. Can't help thinking, I want to say to authorities, "What the hell? You know where they are, go arrest them!" 12:14 PM Nov 9th from web
  5. (and just as an aside - I think the mass of anonymous editors given special powers to post 'notices' are WRECKING the wiki space) 9:53 AM Nov 9th from web
  6. Help! Anonymous 'editors' are threatening to delete the Canadian proverbs page http://tinyurl.com/yjhvrps on Wikiquotes 9:52 AM Nov 9th from web
  7. it's time to drop Technorati completely. Searches no longer have RSS feed, and it (erroneously) shows exactly one blog result for downes.ca 9:45 AM Nov 9th from web
  8. found this great set of proverbs - http://tinyurl.com/nzutf - there weren't any Canadian ones, so I made a page http://tinyurl.com/yjuf982 1:15 PM Nov 6th from web
  9. starting this week' s CCK09 session - on openness and transparency - in 5 minutes -- http://tinyurl.com/yd8e6jn 3:55 PM Nov 5th from web
  10. without even campaigning, am on 74 lists - https://twitter.com/Downes/... - which is in turn a good list of edu lists... 7:50 AM Nov 4th from web
  11. starting on another Dumas classic tonight (I like to read and listen to music for a half hour each evening, to unwind), The Three Musketeers 2:56 PM Nov 3rd from web
  12. finished Dostoyevsky's 'The Brothers Karamazov' last night - it was, um, OK - title characters are buffoons, which made them unsympathetic 11:47 AM Nov 3rd from web
  13. @MaggieL also, if only Google - and not Bing, Yahoo, Alta Vista, etc. can search Wave content, that's a bad thing 6:19 AM Nov 1st from web
  14. @MaggieL 'has Wave' is a shorter way to say 'has a Wave account' (because of 140 chars) - and the majority still do not 'have Wave' 6:18 AM Nov 1st from web
  15. Re: http://bit.ly/1cNeH9 Posts you can see only if you have Wave are NOT a step forward. Can anyone who is not Google search Wave content? 5:51 AM Nov 1st from web
  16. ... and no, you can't just iterate to results in a complex system, because you just end up going back and forth and back and forth... 1:44 PM Oct 30th from web
  17. seeing that many people favour results-orientation. Yet in complex, dynamic systems, how do we know how to identify appropriate results? 1:42 PM Oct 30th from web
  18. asking, is it better to be results-oriented or process-oriented? What if it is very hard to guarantee results, due to change and complexity? 8:36 AM Oct 30th from web
  19. watching men and equipment digging and drilling in the trees outside my window - hope they aren't wrecking my forest 7:14 AM Oct 28th from web
  20. @MaggieL I meant no shortages of supply - in socialist Canada there's enough for everyone - how about the U.S.? http://tinyurl.com/ygjo4dn 3:18 PM Oct 27th from web
