I believe this is the first song I remember hearing recorded. That explains why my weblog is so sophisticated. Axé.

A draft for future use
25/07/2013
Deleted section of “On Democracy, Economy, and the Rise and Fall of the MOOC.” Needs a new title and expansion, along the lines of the interesting comments from the editors–which I would like to insert here. II The news just a few months ago was that MOOCs were the new paradigm for higher education. Costs … More A draft for future use
That writing house, Undine
22/07/2013
I might actually do this to a room in my house. I like the idea of installing a long shelf under a window and having that be the desk, and putting a couch behind it like that. Nothing else in the room. It solves a great deal. Here is another version. Axé.

On the global financial system, or capitalism as organized crime
21/07/2013
I submitted my op-ed to the New York Times as per Dame Eleanor Hull’s desire, so we will see what comes next. If they say nothing by the end of the week, I will be asking where to send it next; it started out as a guest post for a blog. I also have page … More On the global financial system, or capitalism as organized crime
For further revision
20/07/2013
This would be the paragraph that needs expansion, in the form of a phrase or two of expansion around each “this” — Serious as this situation is, to take it as a fait accompli whose remedy will be MOOCs is premature. Especially in view of the expense involved in creating a good MOOC, my strong … More For further revision
