I listened to this on the way to work this moinrng, it was nice to share the commute with you.I'm always in awe of your works, even in this more improvisational and digressive mode. I was especially struck by the contrast you drew toward the end, between the rich and autonomous online environment and the banality of so much of what gets shovelled into our consciousness. And thanks for underlining the OpenEd session with Mikhail, Grant and Jim. I didn't say enough about that in my initial post I was pleased with how the session came out, and felt proud to be up there with those guys not to mention to be able to represent the mighty ds106.
