The Smell Of Salt Air A Mile High And 900 Miles Inland
In February 2007, a team including Thornton prepared to set out from Boulder for a research cruise from Long Island Sound to Iceland via Norway. It is commonly thought that much of the ozone- and haze-forming pollutants generated in metropolitan areas during a busy weekday are removed from the air during hours of darkness. The smell of sea salt in the air is a romanticized feature of life along a seacoast. Wind and waves kick up spray, and bits of sodium chloride — common table salt — can permeate the air.

User-generated neologism: "Indigenous content"
My class in the fall is called “User-generated”, and it looks, among other things, at the tension surrounding that phrase, and in particular its existence as an external and anxiety-ridden label, by traditional media companies, for the way that advertising can be put next to material not created by Trained Professionals™.
All right-thinking individuals (by which I basically mean Anil Dash and Heather Champ ) hate that phrase. Now my friend Kio Stark * has come up with what seems like a nice, and more anthropologically correct version: Indigenous Content (which is to say

The 6 essential things you need to know about Google's OpenSocial
It still remains to be seen, despite the enormous amount of early partner support for it , if the consumption side in terms of these kinds of applications really generates value. I've spent the last few days keeping track of the seemingly endless stream of news and blog coverage about Google's new OpenSocial model for social networking applications. OpenSocial has been described by some as Google's industry "chess move" to outmaneuver and corner Facebook.

Are You Fun to Follow on Twitter?
This one described an experiment organized by the Washington Post in 2007. Tags: Communication Generational issues Social medi There's an art to tweeting. And, I'm sorry to say, most people just haven't mastered it.

Open Source Assessment
Just like teaching has for generations depended on the lecture, so also assessment has for generations depended on the test. This has come up in a couple of places lately, and I'd like to get the concept down on paper (as it were) so people has a sense of what I mean when I talk about 'open source assessment'. The conversation comes up in the context of open educational resources (OERs).

Second Life and Learning - Tony O'Driscoll
It might just change your perspective on what's possible today in informal and generative learning. Tony O'Driscoll - who will be on a panel at the eLearningGuild conference in Boston coming up in a few weeks and will be talking about this very topic - has published a paper in eLearn and created an interesting blog post with video (embedded below) that starts with a question many of us are asking: Are virtual worlds a breakthrough technology that will forever reshape learning and business? Or are they this season's over-hyped fad?

What I'm Working On
The connectionist systems proved to be really good at some things - like, say, pattern recognition - but much less good at other things - like, say, generating rules. In response to an in-house request to describe, in accessible language, what it is that I'm working on. I don't mind explaining - though I will confess it's difficult to explain. It really combines a number of quite distinct ideas in a way that isn't always clear.
