I've just been reading "The Tipping Point" by Malcolm Gladwell and a thought struck me about the nature of innovation and education.

Well, very low tech m-learning that is.
Our books (and the rest of our possessions) have just arrived back from Australia and oh boy how much I LOVE having them back! There really is nothing quite so beautifully portable as a book. It's light. It's accessible. It's portable. It's user-friendly. It's joyous!

It’s amazing what you’ll find when you are browsing the web. I just found a fictional account of the lives of the OpenLearn team on YouTube. Now I know we said the materials are free to copy under a Creative Commons license, but not our identities people!

I’ve been twittering away for nearly a month now, and really enjoying it for the sense of tight community it gives. Even when I was off work with the flu for a week and only managed sad whiny tweets.

It's not been a good week for Twitter. Most of Tuesday it seemed to be down, and then most of Wednesday evening too. One comes to expect short outages in Twitter, you almost regard them with affection, that bespeak of its cottage industry status (I guess they've gone to put another dollar in the meter). But these outages have been very frustrating.
