  • Dare To Be Unrealistic

    Jacob Sokol asked the following question to 48 online experts: What is the most “unrealistic” thing that you’ve ever accomplished and what did you learn from the process? I highly recommend reading through the whole post but here are a few of the most inspiring highlights for me: When you choose the “unrealistic” choice every…

  • Successful People Work at Being Successful

    Doug Belshaw wrote a great reflection piece yesterday on the qualities of being successful. Talent doesn’t make you successful because talent is just a word which sums up three different character traits. These can all be developed; they’re not ‘innate’. People who are successful tend to be: Confident Tenacious Articulate I quite like Doug’s perspective…

  • Intrinsic and Extrinsic Influences on our Digital Identit(y/ies)

    Great reflection piece by Andy Coverdale about Digital Identities. I’m convinced that both the intrinsic (critical practice) and extrinsic (confessional practice) influences are necessary for properly forming identity. I’m still wondering what the particular influences are in the digital realm. I might have to dig out Sherry Turkle’s Life on the Screen In researching approaches…

  • The New Paradigm of Advantage

    Great take by Umair Haque on the necessary paradigm shift that companies must in order to be agents of change rather than simply agents of opportunity.

  • Can a Goofball be Taken Seriously?

    We all have our expressions. One of mine is goofball. It’s not too rude (mind you I’m careful about who I call a goofball), and kind of silly, and reminds me of this guy. Sometimes I use it with affection, sometimes with friendly sarcasm and sometimes when faced with adversity. I even refer to myself…

    There is one word to describe how I feel at this moment: Ick. And the reason is feel this way is because I discovered that the entire blog post I made yesterday was copied and pasted and reposted on someone else’s site. Oh, the heading states that I (or technogenii) as the source, but there…

  • Over / Under Thinking and Perception

    [or How I Finally Snuck my Love of Shopping into a Blog Post] Yesterday, I went shopping with my neighbour who is 26, 10 years my junior. I followed her into a “young girl store”, the type of store with the high cut tops and the low cut pants and other garments that would ultimately…

  • Information R/evolution

    I’m almost done editing my 165+ page thesis which I’ll be defending at the end of the summer. When I look at this video, I cringe to think of what it was like to write a thesis back in the olden days! Reference: Information R/evolution | Digital Ethnography Channel on YouTube | Mike Wesh |…

  • Dropping the “e” – A Sign of the Times!

    My title has recently been changed from Director of eLearning to Director, Blended Learning Strategies. Yesterday I received my new business cards and had the opportunity to hand them out for the first time today. They were well received. Actually, one of the comments was “oh, so you do more then just eLearning then?”, which…
