“In the event of a fire, the black-bound excerpts are to be saved first.”
—Jean Paul instructions to his wife before setting off on a trip in 1812 (as quoted in translation from Exhibition opening on March 4th: »Zettelkästen. Maschinen der Phantasie«)

An awful lot of my thinking happens in the margins.
Maen nhw’n hwylio heddiw.
Me: We don’t Mississippi in this house! Maybe we should Tennessee since that’s where Grandma and Grandpa live?
Evie: I’ve Mississippi’ed since I was three.
Me: Maybe since we’re Welsh we should Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch? You know: 1-Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, 2-Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, …
Together: 3-Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch…
Evie (interrupting): Wait, what number are we on now???
Helps make it feel like we’ve turned some sort of corner.
Of course the segment was about the coming plague of locusts…
#OERxDomains21
Come join me to see how we can extend our domains to use social readers and enable website-to-website communication to improve our online experience.
[Note: I’d previously been scheduled for a much longer workshop session, but due to changing conference time constraints, my talk will be a 20 minute demonstration. I’ll schedule some time early next month to do the longer hands-on portion of the original workshop to help people add the technology to their own websites.]
My slides for the talk, including a number of links to helpful resources, will be available later today.
