As the year comes to a close, I think I have struck a nice balance with Mastodon. It really is a platform much better suited to micro-blogging than twitter ever was.

A little joy for the world

December 27, 2022 By Music 4 Comments

A little joy for you this morning.

A nice collection of facilitation resources

November 30, 2022 By Facilitation One Comment

Courtesy of my friend and colleague Bhav Patel, here is a link to some great facilitation resources collected and curated by the ICA:UK crew. ICA is the global network of practice that has brought the Technology of Participation approach into the world, and this is the first time I have come across a comprehensive collection of tools that supports that approach. I have added that link to my own eclectic collection of quality facilitation resources. That has long been the most popular page on this site!
