Barbados is colorful. Banks is the local brew.
The water is warm enough that you can walk right in.
This giant mill crushes 500 pounds of sugar out of every ton of sugar cane 24/7.

Come to the Informal Learning Zone for intense learning, friendly schmoozing, exciting experiments, and a bit of fun!
Lordy, the sacrifices I make for my work. I believe that location has a tremendous impact on the creative process. The re-write of my book (improved!) is due at the end of the month, so I’m leaving the cozy Internet Time Bunker overlooking San Francisco Bay and flying due east as far as I can without Continue reading
Chris Heuer, the brain behind BrainJams, and I met for a rambling conversation about social networking and learning at T-Rex in Berkeley. It’s fun when two people share similar worldviews but have different bases of experience to work with. Whcih brings me to the subject of this post, another attempt Continue reading

Lance Dublin’s and my book, 
Implementing eLearning, has gotten the treatment at Amazon.
Happily, they’ve cut the price from $39.95 to $28.89. That’s still 20 cents a page, but oh what pages! Amazon tells me you get 1,244 words per dollar. And if you’re traveling, you’ll be happy to find out that’s Continue reading
Playing around with BozPage, a flexible, web-based aggregator.
PRO: displays feeds as cloud, river, or list; very pretty, easy to use, 100% web, open source, FREE
