The 10-Minute Instructional Design Degree
“Also – instructional design and visual design are different things. Visual design is just as important (and it isn’t about making things “pretty”), and it needs to be done before the development phase begins.” – Jane Bozarth
Overcoming Objections to eLearning
“Adopting eLearning is a cultural change as well as a technological one, and all of the changes required to make it accepted and expected can take time.” – Judy Unrein
When I Think of the Future of Online Learning – great insight from Ellen Wagner

Apps vs the Web (via Daring Fireball)
Bluelounge Mini Dock adapter – clever. (via Minimal Mac)
The Birdy – great way to track spending. Simply respond to one email each day. I use Evernote to do the same thing – but I do it live – as soon as I spend it, I email my Evernote account like this: 2011 Taxes – Expense – Software – App Store – $9.99 – but that doesn’t give me pretty charts.
The Birdy would go great with SassyCents, a new “how to be smart with your money” blog from Tammy Thorn.

Caring For Your Introvert (via Jane)
The Org Chart is not the Org
A Phone to Save Us From Our Phones – WTF? If I wanted that, I’d just go back to an old Razr. In typical Microsoft fashion, they’re advertising message is weird and off the mark, unless their goal was to keep people from buying their phones.
Oh, and no copy/paste on launch. To quote their own commercial, “really?”
Learn Math on Your Regular (non-iOS, non-Microsoft) Phone – Very cool. (via
HybridKris)
The ‘Back to the Future’ That Might Have Been – I had no idea. Very interesting. Goes well with
this “making of” for the Goonies.
Minimalism by Example – I’ve had issues with
Web Design Ledger before. They’re out to make a buck. While it seems to have worked for them, I do not like their methods.

ordered.
