A Very New York Christmas Book & Amazon Comment

a very new york christmasToday, Michael Storrings’ first Christmas book, somewhat based on his European hand-blown and painted ornaments, arrived in the stores. I posted the first comment on Amazon.com about it today as well. As a matter of fact, this was the first Amazon comment I ever made (over all the years I have been purchasing on the site)!

I really meant everything I said in the review, and having received and read my copy today, I have to confess that there are few other ways $13.57 (the current Amazon price) can be spent in a better way.

Lyotard and Baudrillard for Educational Technology

There is a very interesting discussion going on over at SCoPE on the Virtual Museum Project. It made me consider my favorite postmodern thinker, Jean-Francois Lyotard, as well as another colorful character, Jean Baudrillard, and how and why I saw them both as influential thinkers in the history of educational technology.

Any other Lyotard fans out there in the world of adult education and educational technology?
