Exploring the Theory, Pedagogy and Practice of Networked Learning by Lone Dirckinck-Holmfeld My rating: 4 of 5 stars I liked this particular book on Networked Learning. It provided a nice balance between theory and actual practice. I think I am addicted to this Networked Learning thing.  I have a three more books on my to-read list on GoodReads, and I bookmarked the proceedings

What does it say that I am more excited about web series than what's coming on TV?  Here is a clip of some promo/side material to promote Blade of Honor with Battlestar's original Apollo who passed away recently

I completely forgot to have a look at ThinkGeek's April Fool's lineup. Usually some of their April Fool's products make it to production (and some are actually just jokes).  I picked three of my favorites.

Hulu "Hu" video shortening service was an April fool's joke that got me.  It showed up before April fool's (maybe it was 4/1 somewhere when I saw it), and my reaction was "NOPE! not going this sh*t! what kind of product is this?" A day later... I realized it was a joke...

Δεν έχουν περάσει ακόμα 20 χρόνια για αυτό το τραγούδι, αλλά το iTunes μου το θύμησε αυτή την εβδομάδα. Τι λεει για μένα ότι δεν ξέρω πρόσφατα τραγούδια αλλά θυμάμαι τα παλιά;

Two April fool's products which I think were particularly well done: 1.  Google Gnome (modeled after Google Home, but for outdoors) 2. Alexa Pet Translator

When I logged into Star Trek Online I heard a bunch or BLIM, BLORP, SWOOOOSH sounds.  I thought Q was at it again.  Well, it turns out that it was just the new artisanal sonification system :p (Happy April Fools)

Για να δούμε πώς θα πάνε τα πράγματα αυτό το μήνα :-)

I don't think I've listed to Italian charts for a while...so here we go - this week this is #1 in Italy Despacito by Luis Fonsi ft. Daddy Yankee Verdict: Nice beat.  I could do without the Autotune though ;-)
