But I just think you all are so brilliant that I can't resist. Anyway, now that I have been handed my parasol and my shrunken head, I think all will be well. :-) Nicola, I did really seriously consider not using student quotes because I was worried about how being included/not included might be perceived.

Maybe this course is particularly of interest to us hoarders and collectors since the lifestream is so much about picking exciting things up on our travels. I really liked how you pulled various parts of the course so far together - it also had narcissistic sharing appeal since I wanted to click through and see who had said what and (if I'm being honest) if I would feature ;) I really loved this and badly need to look at the source for the page again since I’m jealous of how you’ve blended the images, links and cabinet together ;)

Silvana, I'm also interested in other lifestream metaphors - if I had more video skills I might have tried something water-like (like Mas did - http://www.flickr.com/photos/masnizasore/4018245825/ ) :-) Thanks, Bill and Silvana!

It has helped me conceptualize better what the lifestream is doing. I don't quite like the linear form of the lifestream but I love the way you have organized your lifestream bits within a cabinet. I agree with others about seeing it as a patchwork quilt. As a quilt it could have an overall gestalt in addition to the individual bits. I wonder what other ways the stream can be conceptualized?

I especially liked it because I have an old typesetter's tray in my office and use it to collect small toys and curiosities from the places I've traveled to. Wonderful, Jen!

And Sarah, I am being struck often by the great things that course participants are saying. The stuff that goes in to my lifestream tends to be things that either make me laugh or surprise me. I haven't had a chance to add any for a few days but must get back to it. Tony, I used the spell with Flickr tool for the typograpy - http://metaatem.net/words/ . Really enjoying your blog post about the cabinet metaphor - http://digitalculture-ed.net/tonym/2009/10/15/worrying-about-the-cabinet-of-curiosities/ - expect comments from me soon!
