Yesterday was kind of a sad day for me. My friend and colleague Amanda Harby is retiring from BCcampus. Amanda is the person who first hired me when I arrived in BC, jobless but with hope in my heart and a song on my lips.


Last week I was at ALT-C. I enjoy Assoc for Learning Technology conference. I went a couple of times to its predecessor in the 1980s : the Assoc for Educational Technology. That wasn’t so comfortable to many techy blokes. But no longer.

I did an interview with Paul Miller from Talis as part of their podcast series. It covers a wide range of topics: US politics, modernist literature, Babylonian horticulture, and 1920s cinema.

For me the best summer experiences are those that I have in the open air. I think I am not unusual even amongst my intellectual friends in looking for embodied and fleshy experiences between June and September.
