I guess it should be free satellite, not free cable.  I prefer the alternates of "Sure beats the pajamas that Star Fleet makes YOU wear!" and "After a few Millennia, you tend to run out of fashion ideas. . ." (original archive here)

42 Rules for Successful Collaboration (2nd Edition): A Practical Approach to Working with People, Processes and Technology by David Coleman My rating: 2 of 5 stars I guess I forgot to check off this book as read a few days ago. The book was OK, and it was a fairly fast book to read, not weighed down by disciplinary jargon. That said, some of the rules are quite helpful, whereas

Χτες στην περιοχή μας είχαμε ηλιακή έκλειψη και για ‘μένα ήταν η πρώτη φορά στην ζωή μου που ήμουν σε περιοχή να δω μια έκλειψη. Στην Βοστόνη η έκλειψη ήταν μόνο 68% της επιφάνειας του ηλίου, οπότε δεν ήταν ολική έκλειψη και

Interviewing as Qualitative Research: A Guide for Researchers in Education and the Social Sciences by Irving Seidman My rating: 5 of 5 stars Quite a good read on conducting interviews as part of educational research.

With the "Free Speech" rally happening in Boston today (and various other counterprotests), it seemed that this would be a good post for today - a report from other places already posted on facebook and other social media.

Copland με την εμφάνιση "Hi Tech" Από τότε που άρχισα να ασχολούμαι με υπολογιστές στο λύκειο άρχισα να διαβάζω για τα Mac και για τις καινοτομίες τις Apple. Τότε υπήρχαν τρία περιορικά: το MacUser, το MacWorld, και το MacAddict. Αποφάσισα στην

I guess this one is for those who didn't like Wesley Crusher.  The alternative punchlines were all very mean-spirited toward Wesley, but this one was the one that I liked the best from all of them, and it feels a little more comic-strip-like: Sev Fleet's Insurance Company won't insure the Enterprize while you're on board.

Collaboration in Distance Education: International Case Studies by Louise Moran My rating: 3 of 5 stars Even though it's a little dated at this point, it was an interesting view into cross-organizational collaborations in distance education. I started reading this thinking that it was more about person-to-person collaboration, not necessarily institution-to-institution initiatives.
