we had to take a photo for an article about our SEED course design grant program. unfortunately, we didn’t have any notice that we’d need a photo, so we wound up posing for a snapshot after a meeting. the office DSLR was in use off campus, so my iPhone camera was all we had handy. this’ll have to do…

My trusty old Mac Pro finally gave up the ghost, and IT replaced it with a Dell Latitude e6410 laptop.
I’m going to be spending some time getting familiar with Windows 7. The thing came with a 24″ LCD, and a docking station that had two DVI ports, so I slapped in a 20″ Cinema Display as well. Not sure how well a laptop will be able to drive 44″ of display, but I’ll find out soon…
I dropped Safari and iTunes onto it quickly, and set it up to sync with MobileMe, iDisk, DropBox, Evernote, etc… so my stuff was there pretty quickly.
I was interviewed by Reg Sherren for the CBC National News. He called me about a blog post I wrote in 2008 on my dislike of Earth Day, and we talked about some of the issues (greenwashing, real sustainable change, how a one day event may be short circuiting real change, etc…)
Then he had me read the first part of the post. I hope that’s not the only segment of the interview they use – ranting blogger rants! Film at 11!
where I spend most of my time at work.

The office is pretty empty today, with the rest of my team away in Vancouver for FOBL. It’s also unseasonably dark, so I’m hibernating in my office hacking away on UCalgaryBlogs.ca
Me, presenting the “Identity in the Open Classroom” session for the From Courses to Dis/course: Exploring the Future of Courses online conference. I picked a topic that I’ve been thinking about, but hadn’t done much with, so it gave me a chance to pour through research and writing on the subject and put together a presentation. I think it went OK, and there was great discussion.
I’ve been brainstorming for a series of presentations I’m doing, throwing ideas on a whiteboard to help flesh out the concepts a bit more. The aroma of whiteboard markers can get pretty strong in the office…
having one of those days where everything I touch explodes in a shower of bits and sparks. debug. break. debug. fix. repeat.
