Some links I’ve Pinboarded this week:
- New Clues 121 thoughts about the internet by David Weinberger and Doc Searls two of the original cluetrain authors. Text released as Creative Commons 0 with a JSON file which lets folk mess around, here is my contribution: Give me a clue which was quite good fun (for me at least).
- I seem to have been reading a fair number of articles on Medium this week, three favourites:
- A Teenager’s View on Social Media was widely tweeted.
- The Silencing of the Deaf about deaf culture, sign language, really fascinating post.
- How To Pay Attention some nice DS106ish ways to take a walk and look around generally.
- HTML_CodeSniffer is a bookmarklet that reports on accessibility of webpages, shown to me by one of the test engineers working on glow.
Looks like I’ve some work to do!
- Real Users Pay for Software | The Tech Savvy Educator I like paying for software too. Like Ben I also donate to some free stuff, recently Wikipedia and the Internet Archive.
- Existential Philosophy of Kierkegaard, Sartre, Camus Explained with 8-Bit Video Games | Open Culture, Open culture is a great source of links, and this is quite wacky!
- Have you seen what’s Glowing?, Fearghal Kelly made a nice post about glow.
- On the Glow front I pointed to my upcoming blog effort: Blogging Bootcamp
- And Ian is organising a Hack Day to develop ‘multimedia textbooks’ for all Scottish National Exams.
