A domain of one’s own
Published by November 29th, 2008 in Uncategorized and digital identity. 22 CommentsIt was recently announced by Mary Washington’s new president that the next academic year (2009/2010) will be “The Year of the Digital Campus” at UMW. While I think we are uniquely positioned to make the most of this idea, I also wonder what it means exactly. But, in all fairness, I don’t think anyone is [...]
I have been remiss on my UMW Blogs postings lately, I have been too absorbed with flaming conference attendees (not to mention email lists) that I have lost my center, my home, my love! But, like any good companion, as soon as I return to UMW Blogs it fills me up with joy and strength—even [...]

Bruce Lee play’s ping pong with Nunchucks via Andy Rush who got it via Eric Holscher’s tweet here.
Update: Keep in mind that there are comments on the video that suggest this is not Bruce Lee, but I don;t care. It is real in my heart!
I will be posting at length about WordCampEd soon (which was a great event), but I want to throw a link to an absolutely amazing video I saw this afternoon at the Hirshhorn Museum called Magnetic Movie, created by Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt of Semiconductor. Remarkable, but not surprising, that artists are leading the way [...]
I have been moonlighting around campus this semester as a Dog, CogDog, introducing students and faculty to Alan’s 50 Ways to Tell a Digital Story. Well, there have been a number of good projects that I promise I will add to his wiki and tag in delicious accordingly. But one in particular for Judith Parker’s [...]
I have recently posted about a WordPress education email list I joined and was pretty excited about. Well, less than two weeks later I am a bit confused by what exactly Automattic is thinking with this list. It’s moderated by Douglass Hanna, and he just sent out the following message to the list talking about [...]
