WatchHere’s an interview we did with George Siemens on 30 June, 2011, at the Laboratory of Distance Education and eLearning, Universidade Aberta, Portugal. It’s around 40 minutes long and has, imo, a lot of great stuff on conectivism, change and moocs. There’s no doubt he is one of the best persons you can find to have a great conversation with.

“This year, Lytro will debut the first light field camera for everyone. OK – you’re not everyone. You are a beautiful, unique snowflake. And you deserve an amazing camera that lets you capture life’s singular moments, like baby’s first steps not second, with maximum magic and minimum hassle.

Some notes on Digital Identity
Having just read the excellent To be or not to be: the importance of Digital Identity in the networked society, that Cristina Costa and Ricardo Torres published in the EFT journal, I saw myself portrayed in many of the challenges they point out in the process of representing ourselves online and building a digital identity. First and foremost is the question of our fragmented presence, with bits...

Sherry Turkle: Say no to Zuckerberg
Vale a pena ouvir a Sherry Turkle, cuja última obra, Together Alone, levanta algumas questões que merecem muita atenção. O entrevistador, Andrew Keen, vale menos a pena. O célebre The cult of the amateur só merece leitura porque é quase uma paródia no fundamentalismo exacerbado. A crítica de Lawrence Lessig vai bem ao fundo da questão.

Beware where you post your content
This is rather unreasonable, but it seems a new business model for many companies - take what users share for free, make money out of it and harass everyone who wants to use what has been shared. After the web 2.0 “revolution”, corporations are trying to regain control of the web, content, users and uses. Points to remember: don’t use services with questionable policies (at least...

As boas famílias
Este foi o estado lastimoso em que ficou o parque onde o Afonso brinca de vez em quando. Passámos lá há uns dias e deparámo-nos com isto. Pensei, na altura, que uns tipos com os copos se tinham divertido desta maneira estúpida. Mas afinal, não deixando de ser uma estupidez, foi até pior do que eu pensava. Soube hoje que isto foi obra de um grupo de putos entre os 12 e os 14 anos, moradores aqui...
