"Is your dog really a professor?" "Yeah! OF BEING A DOG! FACE!"
As usual, my updating has been rather sparse. But this time, I have an excuse! I've been rather busy with:
- Full-time work at The Little Dollhouse Company
- Freelance/Contract work for mine and
running_forhome's upstart studio Light Language Media
- Miscellaneous freelance work
- Work for Sticks + Stones Films
Naturally, my instinct at this point is "how do I spend even more time?". Thank the Wikimedia Corporation for an answer. It seems that wikipedia has a lot of sister projects - one of which being WikiBooks. The basic idea behind that is to create free, open-source, readily changeable books on basically everything that has ever existed. Now this idea on it's own is dangerous for me; for a while I've had the itch to write a book on web design, learning HTML, things like that. I've been teaching it, writing tutorials, and tutoring on it for years, so it would be a natural thing to do. Plus I've always wanted to design a book, so it would be fun.
But the really perilous issue here is with a little sub-project called Wikiversity. The idea? University courses in which anyone can enroll for free, read the wikibooks as course material, and learn over the internet.
The part for me that I need to watch out for (and the part that is potentially totally awesome) is that if you prep the course, get the material together, create the curriculum, do all the marking, make the lectures, yadah yadah yadah, then you can sign up to be a professor, too.
Uh, holy shit.
So basically, if I disappear for a couple days/months, chances are I've become a fucking professor.
