Earlier this month I went to a masterclass and colloquium at ECU on 'media participatory activism' with Geert Lovink from the Institute for Network Cultures. The holiday rush and preparing for travels preclude too extensive a post, but I wanted to at least post a few thoughts and questions. Some of these came from Geert, many from other ...

I've been meaning to add a 'blogroll' (as it seems, rather unfortunately, to have become called) for a while now. I've only recently started using a feed reader (Sage) instead of just inefficiently clicking through my bookmarks. So far, I'm finding it tremendously useful.  I thought I'd also give a brief introduction to a few of the blogs ...

I've been doing a lot of marking lately, and not much else, it seems. Certainly no blogging for weeks, sadly. The reason is my experience of one of the less salubrious hazards of cycling to work; about a month ago I came off second-best in a bingle with a car at a roundabout.

There are 2 ways in which a photo can be added to a blog entry. The first is to add the image as an attachment to the blog entry and then in the text of the blog entry put ''[''ImageAttachment'']'' - without the quotes:    The other way is to use a photo that has been uploaded to your Gallery. In the blog entry, click the content ...

Chuck tagged me a few days ago with the Eight Things meme; although I'm generally fairly anti-meme, I've been enjoying a bit of back and forth with Chuck in his blog and on del.icio.us, so figured I could add one more procrastination on a writing day.  Apparently, I have to start with rules ...  Rules:1. We have to post these ...
