UnConference or MutateConference?

this morning i was drawn to a post by mitch joel claiming that the “unconference movement” is dead. i hadn’t encountered joel’s blog before, so i hope i’m not reading this piece out of the context of his usual commentary. in any event, my response isn’t entirely about this one entry. i’ve only been to two events that were trying to be “unconfere...

The Work of Criticism

jumping straight out of my twitter feed about thatcamp games, i want to work a bit more on a reaction i had to a morning panel on teaching games in a higher ed class.i heard a pretty strong strain of thought that naturalized the proposition that the first thing to do with games in a class is to interrupt the activity of play, to stop the fun, to compel ...

I Endorse These Messages

remember when people used to use blogs mostly just for shout-outs to other bloggers? ok, they’re often still for that purpose, but it seems to me that twitter serves that function far more efficiently. also, with my own bloggorhea, i’ve always been more likely to drone on about something on my mind than to link to work by others.but two pieces which i...

Pictures from an Institution 9 (Visitors)

catching up here with some photo sessions from the fall. broadly speaking, my theme of the visual documentation of faculty work always has two accompanying problems. the first is that some of the work of faculty makes for a lousy picture, or can’t be pictured at all. i’m just finishing my fourth tenure dossier review of the last four months, and i’ve...
