Thanks to @timrowe, been listening to #TeamHuman for close to a year. It’s been an interesting experience. Although, the sphere of exclusion around the @Rushkoff team remains unclear, to me. Hearing about “The Counterculture” signals a specific cultural context. Guessing there’s a large overlap between Team Human listeners and Mastodon users.
Is this a place to find what Doug calls “The Others”? If so, how do we engage?
Wonder if Arthur Brock takes part in the Fediverse. Maybe @timrowe / @timrowe knows? Would make sense in his #Blockchain/federation work. #TeamHuman

What are the #commons?
#COMMONS should be understood as a dynamic, living social system — any resource that can be used by many could inspire people to organize as a commons. The key questions are whether a particular community is motivated to manage a resource as a commons, and if it can come up with the rules, norms, and sanctions to make the system work.

Eloquent and thoughtful as ever, @Saro bringing unique insight to Todd Lyons’s #Toddcast for #Resistance150, #WorldRefugeeDay, and #Canada150 in the #PublicService. https://overcast.fm/+F4HhhZNDw/09:30
Might as well announce it here: recently started a new job as a Learning Pathways Strategist for Global Cybersecurity Resource.

Remembering my university addresses…
UMontreal.ca
UNIL.ch
Indiana.edu
UNB.ca
IUSB.edu
Bridgew.edu
Tufts.edu
Concordia.ca
uOttawa.ca
Wonder how universities filter email. Our addresses are so easy to scrape yet we don't get that much bad stuff. It also doesn't sound like we're missing a lot of legitimate mail.
Got a phonecall from someone who leads a team doing fascinating projects which overlap quite well with my #SphereOfAgency. Sounds like there might be room for me on this team, especially about #LearningPathways.
Will know more in a few hours.
Even if it doesn't work, for whatever reason, it's already a great sign. In part because it's been hard to get my name out, here in Ottawa. Most of my professional network is in Montreal.
Often reminded of the fraught reification of Strauss & Howe’s marketing constructs, particularly the one about so-called #Milennials. A friend and former student cued me into this fun plugin which can generate insight into the embedded #ageism in such discourse. http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2015/05/26/this_chrome_extension_replaces_the_word_millennials_with_snake_people.html
Bit the bullet and bought one of these, an #Eigenharp Pico: https://youtu.be/TVaTDXQdXkY
Will surely post stuff about it on this instance. The main idea is, for me, that it's a #WindController which supports MPE: Multidimensional Polyphonic Expression. In a way, it's my dream instrument. Was quite literally dreaming about a device which could transcend the limitations of most controllers yet allow for direct breath control.
More soon…
@chendricks Not finding your toot about the course through this account but was going to say: even before reading your post, can already guess that you probably want the course to be in a constant state of improvement. Like baristas in the #ThirdWave coffeescene, members of the #DigPedPosse are driven by a quest, IMHO.
Will read your piece soon.
@twsh Random question: is it cumbersome having to specify that your PhD is in philosophy? Sometimes, it sounds like people think the “Ph” stands for “phat”.

Been dreaming about the #Eigenharp, which could correspond to my ideal #DigitalWindInstrument. In fact, it might allow me to do cool things with the #RaspberryPi.
Much of my musical projects are driven by the desire to enable others’ actions. This part may sound more selfserving, but my pedagogical and ethnographic sides are still at stake.
Really glad #eCampusOntario is opening up to #OER and #OpenPedagogy. Could go well with the #DigPedPosse. https://www.ecampusontario.ca/Content/newsletter
Two thoughts about today’s #Apple announcements: they covered a lot of bases; won’t make a dent in my budget.
Can share a lot of cynicism about #Apple. Would be the first to say that they’ve become entrenched in mall culture, which doesn’t correspond to me. But… Is it ok to be excited about #MonumentValley 2?
Often feeling like an #extrovert living in an #introvert world and being told that introverts are the only ones who may ever be misunderstood.
