Reading the section on “Geeking Out” in “Living with New Media,” I was thinking of the stereotypes that accompany the word, “geek.” Doing a quick Google Image Search for “geek” led me here (click if you’re up for a laugh). Anyway, I was getting a good number of images of people with giant glasses, a… Continue reading Redefining the Geek
Sidenote: Let’s Mess Around
Doing these blog posts that are up for public searches and views made me think about something I often struggle with: Copyright. I wanted to just use and upload images that I find on Google Image, but I started thinking about how do I cite my resources? How do I show where I got the… Continue reading Sidenote: Let’s Mess Around
Let’s Connect, Mess Around, and Create!
“Smart phones have made people dumb.” I’ve heard this from so many people since iPhones became popular and everyone around seemed to have one. As I read “Connectivism” by George Siemen, a particular line stood out to me “Many of the processes previously handled by learning theories (especially in cognitive information processing) can now be… Continue reading Let’s Connect, Mess Around, and Create!
Sidenote: Intentions on the Internet

I started analyzing the ways in which… Continue reading Intentions on the Internet

A fun and easy way to organize all your social feeds into one visual site. You can combine Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, Instagram, Flickr, and StockTwits. I just have my Twitter account (@dorakio) feed straight into it. It also works the other way where you can feed various social networks with posts you create on RebelMouse… Continue reading My #RebelMouse page!
Education Inspiration at #ElevenMadisonPark
I promise I won’t write about food that often. But tonight, I found inspiration in an unlikely place. As @tabletj and I are preparing to move to Seoul, we wanted to have a celebratory dinner at one of the locations on our New York “Bucket List.” The place was no other than Eleven Madison Park… Continue reading Education Inspiration at #ElevenMadisonPark
My Mess of a Mind… Organized #RHODIA
Some people are blessed with a mind that can think things through in a linear fashion. Whether that’s through outlining or creating tables, I’ve seen different ways people organize their thoughts. Unfortunately (fortunately?), my thought process is a lot messier. My mind wanders from one idea to the next, and the connections aren’t necessarily clear… Continue reading My Mess of a Mind… Organized #RHODIA
