Alan totally totally gets it, nails it on a board and wags at it. Several times. What I hope to get at by the end of this ramble is how, to me, in my opinion, this is not a universal rule… the power and enticement of blogging is the sense of ownership of a place …

Ketosis
Sometimes think that in terms of food, general bodily abuse, I operate a bit too much like a pendulum. Since Friday evening, for example, it’s basically been no alcohol, no sugar, no bread, no rice, no potatoes… essentially no sugars or carbs. Which apparently is sending me into ketosis. From which, ahem, I quote: Because …
No to IR Reforms
Spent some of this afternoon at a rally in Geelong (along with about a quarter of a million others Aus-wide) protesting against the obnoxious IR reforms that the Liberal (read opposite of ‘Liberal’ – conservative) party are pushing through with their majority in both houses. Hopefully this might work out well in the end as …
Student Podcasting
I’m very very happy that I’m able to spring Tama’s new blog (at edublogs.org: “I’ve been trying out tama.wordpress.com… I felt that edublogs was probably a better home for an eLearning blog anyway”) Not only because it’s great to be able to help out some familiar, um, faces… but also because of stuff like this …
Anyone for a meetup on Saturday Dec 3rd or Sunday Dec 4th in Brisbane?

ODLAA 2005 Conference
Well, that was one heck of a conference, rarely if ever have I encountered such a high ratio of PPEE (Professors Per Everyone Else) and there was conversation to match too! Met and enjoyed the company of a huge crowd of people (all of whom *should* but *don’t* have blogs), I’ve already mentioned Terry Anderson, …
Blogs for schools – What’s going on?
Reading Will today (congrats on the forthcoming book btw!) reminded me of a couple of ‘blogging in schools’ providers to and even more interestingly: “I’ve been sworn to secrecy about a couple of other entrants soon to be coming forth that I think will take classroom blogging to an even higher level” So is this …

Yet another facelift – stage 1
It’s redesign season! Here’s what seems to happen once every 6 months or so whenever I go for a facelift on this blog: -I piss around for hours playing with bits and bobs -Whack a load of time into it without ‘taking it for a test drive’ -Eventually get so tired with messing around that …
Intellectual overload… ODLAA 2005 So far
Gordon Bennett! Quite a morning, down here in Adelaide, just a *little* bit of stimulation! First up Denise Bradley is exactly the kind of VC that I want, then Terry Anderson… well, he’s Terry Anderson, what more can I say (and he’s using Elgg… talk about a positive convergence of minds!!!) Follow that with Paul …
