I wrote a long multimedia post on the Abject about an eight year old #WFMU radio prank, one that I played a small part in pulling off. I'm not sure what that says about me. Nothing good. At least I had fun putting it together.
Maybe more decades-late posts to come.

Hey @Downes - regarding your commentary on "Enclouding Education" (https://www.downes.ca/post/73963)...
I can think of one non-corporate cloud deployment, which is Educloud here in BC: https://www.bc.net/service-catalogue/educloud-server
I acknowledge this is a limited example of "cloud" but I think it does show different models are possible if there is a will to give it a try. In any event Educloud has been invaluable to us here.
As cosmic punishment for my many transgressions, I must now investigate how to deploy SCORM packages on the open web. (If anyone knows a non-sucky way…)
Remembering all the arguments about SCORM back in the Learning Objects days. I evidently lost them all. I’m still losing.
I wish I could have seen @sleslie's presentation on "Libraries and 'Web3'". He does not shy away from the many negative elements but does solid work in identifying the potential value.
I am perhaps irrationally hostile to this movement but there is lots to think about here.

Taking a crack at #smallstories, to honour the wonderful #OER19 session and my friends @lauraritchie @katebowles @[email protected]
I attended the 2019 journal launch of Knowledge Makers, an Indigenous student research network at TRU. KM embodies the power of human scale, intimacy, care. Each student gave a speech, and presented their first copy to a family member or supporter. Many spoke of a new sense of self-worth and connection because of their journey.

Has it really been nearly two years since I quoted Stein's The Making of Americans?
"I want readers so strangers must do it. Mostly no one knowing me can like it that I love it that every one is of a kind of men and women, that always I am looking and comparing and classifying of them, always I am seeing their repeating. Always more and more I love repeating, it may be irritating to hear from them but always more and more I love it of them."
