Content is Glasgow?
Last summer the Commonwealth Games were in Glasgow. The image on the left is the perky mascot, Clyde, with the slogan “People make Glasgow” proudly displayed on his chest. I was reminded of this last night when I saw it … Continue reading
Steal and Remix
So I know Alan objects to us using “stealing” to mean “remixing with the author’s permission”, but it’s something I say quite often, along with things like “can I nick a chip?”, although bizarrely I get mildly irritated when folk … Continue reading

My perspective on #rhizo15
There’s been lots of talk about objectives and subjectives in #rhizo15 since Dave set this week’s topic. I played around with words such as subjecting ourselves as subjects and objecting to being treated like objects, but then I gave up … Continue reading

Not so private after all
So here’s a funny thing. On Saturday I blogged about how I only played my uke in private. If you’d asked me about this at the time I’d have been adamant that nobody bar the cats was ever going to … Continue reading

Learning in private
I’m not a shy person. Ask anyone who knows me – I can be very fond of blowing my own trumpet. And I enjoy collaborative writing – the stuff we’ve been doing over the last year has been fun, and … Continue reading

Whose rules are they anyway?
I’ve been talking a lot in my various social networks, communities, collectives (whatever the heck we are!) about exactly what #rhizo14 was. Was it a MOOC? A course? A happening? A party? Who knows. At the time it all began we … Continue reading

A herd of freely associating, autonomous cats.
At the moment some of us are attempting to finish an article about the collaborative autoethnography we’ve been working on since the second week of #rhizo14 (the first rMOOC?). One thing we’re attempting to characterise is the way that we zigzagged between … Continue reading
Along the way, take time to smell the flowers
I love gardening, and I am also fond of gardening metaphors. It’s one of the many things I like about Deleuze and Guattari’s metaphor (?) of the rhizome and Dave Cormier’s rhizomatic learning – the botanical themes that run through and … Continue reading
