Hopefully this video will introduce me to you and demonstrate my commitment to networked learning and a few of the many benefits I’ve seen as a result. It also shows my long-term commitment to these entwined tools and practices.
If, for some reason,1 you want to investigate any of the sites referenced more deeply they’re linked below.
- my site on the wayback machine – peer into my thoughts from way back when and realize that the contents don’t vary too much
- the video that would not die
Dated and probably only got that many views because of the soundtrack which almost certainly has copyright issues - My Twitter archive – the LOC cares, so should you.
- A serious Diigo commitment
- DS106 – good times, good people- mind expanding in general
- My more (algorithmically) popular Flickr photos
- The parrot photo
1 Trust but verify.
Do more videos with babies in lap 😉 And you have gone transmedia with video footnotes, love the extra commentary
And you sell yourself way short on your role in DS106- the assignment bank came largely from your idea (as well as the assignment remixer). You made the first two of them Spreadsheet Invasion http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/spreadsheet-invasion/ and maybe the one that started the GIF avalanche, Say It Like Peanut Butter http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/say-it-like-the-peanut-butter/ not to mention the classic Four Icon Challenge http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/one-story-four-icons/
And you have 2 of 3 of the assignments people have done most frequently

You sort of co-made DS106
Tom, I still think that you are one of the most interesting people that I have come across on the internet. Your unique take on things and creative output always make me wish that I followed through much more on my creative impulses – but it is never too late, I suppose.
Thank you for this wonderful testimony and evidence to the power of the open, connected net. You are too modest about your accomplishments so I am especially glad that the Muséum national d’histoire naturelle recognized the creative energy behind the parrot photo. Speaking of that museum, I hope you get a chance to read All The Light We Cannot See.
You’re all good and kind people who I appreciate very much. It is especially useful to read these kind words now, as I have just finished my NMC presentation and was wondering if playing in traffic was a good way to spend the rest of the conference . . .
