Straight off the press. Lazy Sunday. Breakfast. Reading yesterday’s newspaper. Few blog posts read. Couple of my own posted. Tidied the sheets. A few quick tweets. Just had a shower. While I was in the shower Gary Stager popped into my head. I composed a song about Gary, while I was standing there in the shower, to the tune of the Beverly Hillbillies theme. Now, that’s a worry.
Anyway, I thought I would give Gary a bit of a plug here while my hair, what’s left of it, is still drying. I first discovered Gary on the net when researching podcasts back in late December 2004 or early 2005. He was compiling resources on podcasting almost from the beginning.
I like Gary’s blog ~ Stager-to-Go. He shows no fear. He writes how he feels. He is like a devil’s advocate in the edublogging world. Not all of his posts are applicable to the scene here downunder but I like to read them all anyway. I do not agree with all his stuff but why should I? Still enjoyable to read regardless. I enjoy reading Gary when he has a go at some sacred cows. He may not be everyone’s cup of tea but I think we need more bloggers like Gary Stager.

How odd – I went to http://www.stager.org/blog/ and got this message:

Hi Ken
Thanks for leaving the comment. That is interesting. I do not get the same warning for the site. I wonder what may cause that. I know that sometimes my main site garnered a “phishing” warning on some versions of Internet Explorer. I removed the Google Analytics code and the warnings stopped. Perhaps a filter is too sensitive.
Cheers, John
