To start, I need to apologize to all of you, my loyal readers, for going “AFK” for so long. (I’m surprised you’re still here, but far be it from me to look a gift horse in the mouth.) The truth is that I have been procrastinating (a bit), but I’ve also been diligently working on …

(Note: I’ve just spent far too long trying to get this audio to NOT sound like a chipmunk on a coffee spree in the flash player. The result is … less than perfect, but at least you can tell what I’m saying.) Here’s a big important question: A reputable company with a product for educators …

The rumors of my demise … yadda yadda yadda. No video this time, just an unedited monologue recorded with my newest gadget (see below). Sorry for the delay. I blame end-of-school-year-hassles, a trip to PA, a new apartment, and something else. I have a new toy: The Creative Zen V Plus! I used it to …
Academic Aesthetic 145
No video this time, just wonderful low quality audio! Wait … what? Show notes: The wiki is getting more spam than legitimate edits. I’m dealing with the spam now, and I’ll get to the real edits soon. No, really. I’m beginning to like Ning more and more, mostly because it doesn’t crash Firefox as often …

Sorry for the delay, now on with the show! Show notes: Another nice audio comment by Chris Craft. Where’s your audio (or video) comment? (And yes, I haven’t edited the wiki recently for the same reason I haven’t been podcasting.) To make a podcast I need time, energy, and inspiration. Usually I lack inspiration, but …
Whoops.
It came to my attention that most of Episode 143 had no audio. My best guess is that this was from a glitch in the encoding process. The problem has been remedied. I apologize for the inconvenience.
Academic Aesthetic 143
No time for banter, here’s the show and the show notes: I start out with a “phone call” from Chris Craft. It seems he has a complaint or two. (You can send me your own comments, too!) My wife bought me a soldering iron. It’s cool, but scary. (I could get burned.) Bre Pettis has …

I couldn’t stay for the whole thing, but I thought you’d might like to hear a recent online conversation in which I was the token rude American amongst a crowd of British educators. OK, so I hope I wasn’t that rude. You know me and self-depreciating humor… In any case, you can find the show …
Academic Aesthetic 142
This should have gone up yesterday, but instead I went to see a movie with the wife. For some reason theaters frown at customers using laptops during the movie, even though they only tell you to turn off your cell phones and pagers. They said nothing about laptops! They should be allowed, right? Um, they …
Connect Learning is Back!
Do you listen to the Connect Learning podcast? You should. He started long before I ever did. Chris Craft called me a Warlick groupie. I’m not – I’d never be able to afford the travel expenses.
