I don’t usually remember dreams, or accord them much significance. This morning I awoke around 4:30 with one pretty clearly in mind. The dream had to do with drawing, which is something I’ve never done and feel that I have no talent for, though I greatly admire it in others. I was drawing cats, but via drawing pieces: a paw, a shoulder, the catenary (!) curve of a tail. Somehow these pieces (and there were many) were arrayed in 3-space so that one could walk around them, and from different perspectives on the collection one could derive a sense of CAT<\/i><\/b> that was more complete and compelling than if one had seen a single complete drawing of a<\/i> cat. So an aggregation of gestures (the single bits) allows the observer to construct a whole in a novel and hologrammatical way.
\nAs I gradually transitioned to waking reality, the Cat morphed into an assemblage of the Web 2.x bits I’ve been messing with, and became a collage of my own watching, listening, reading, writing, searching… seen as a temporally ordered kaleidoscope which stands for and manages to communicate the flow of my attention. The rudimentary form of the default stylesheet for my oook.suprglu.com page<\/a> is the barest beginning of the imagined cyberproduct, but it is<\/i> a beginning. Like all such imaginings, the practicalities of execution are pretty elusive, and\/or would tie me up in technicalities that are beyond my powers, and keep me from the pleasures of the hunt that I so enjoy.
\nI’m still searching for effective ways to verbalize my sense that personal connectivism<\/a> is the direction I need to follow –that it’s the essence of lifelong learning to articulate<\/b> the learning process in communications …but to whom, and for what, is still pretty problematic. And there’s still the problem of the requisite management and composition and delivery tools…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
