A great day for Lighips!

Blackboard – WebCT together at last
Fools. YOU ARE ALL FOOLS! You laughed at Leon Lighips, but he who laughs with Lighips gets RICH in the bargain!!!!
HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!
Now you know what I’ve been up to for the past few months, why I’ve been too busy to share my secrets for unlimited [...]

This is what happens to those who defy Leon Lighips

http://www.darcynorman.net/2005/03/03/the-cogdogblog-is-muzzled-temporarily
I extended the hand of friendship, and it was bitten by a rabid dog.
Since D’Arcy Normal has once again figured it all out (he is a crafty foe), I might as well own up. CogDogBlog was the first weblog to acknowledge my assault on the blogosphere, which is why it was the first target of [...]

Hey copyright commies! Lighips is gunning for YOU!
The Communist Broadcasting Company burned up precious taxpayer dollars yesterday by airing the grievances of a couple aging hippies (one of them a professor from Berkeley — how cliched), griping away just because the sixties are OVER.
What axe were they grinding this time? The PBS documentary about the [...]

eLearning Supremacy spreaads to the Canadian Prairies

http://stigmergicweb.org/index.php/archives/2005/02/24/guru-of-the-obvious/
From the windswept Canadian plains, yet another acknowledgment of my dominance. On the prairies, over the mountains and through the trees, on the ocean waves and under the rocks, you can hear voices whispering a haunting invocation…
Lighips…
Lighips…
Lighips…
You will all be chanting it soon enough.

And Lighips Shall Have Dominion Over All

The former blogfather of the Ed Tech Webloggers, Stephen Downes himself has acknowledged the ascendancy of Lighips eLearning Supremacy Inc. He graciously surrenders the mantle, and in his abdication post writes what everyone else will learn soon enough, that Leon Lighips is “the king of the long tail”. Quoting Downes: “I welcome our new… Overlord.”

I’m so motivated that it hurts

These are exciting times at Lighips eLearning Supremacy Inc. I spoke to dozens of eager potential resellers this morning at a posh downtown hotel in a city that shall remain nameless. Why the secrecy? I respect you enough dear Web log (or “blog”) reader to know that a warrior never reveals his battleplan. Until I [...]

Don’t make me beat you — join me!

I’ve done a lot of thinking about the storm of activity that I have provoked out there on the “Internet”, and have decided that a friendlier approach may be the best way to “close the deal”. For that reason, I have changed the Web log (or “blog”) links on my sidebar back to their chosen [...]

I’m a genius!

Scott Leslie of EdTechPunk, Mr. Levine and Mr. Norman have all hailed me with remarks about my relationship with the long tail.
As Loverboy once sang, the kid is hot tonight. I just took inspiration from their public support to come up with a new tagline, suitable for business cards, billboards, and TV infomercials:
Leon Lighips is [...]

Another triumph…

http://www.darcynorman.net/2005/02/23/attack-of-the-long-tail
I’ve been hailed as an “overlord”, one who’s “about to take over the blogosphere.”
Finally, someone who “gets it.” Maybe I was too hard on D’Arcy. But as you will all learn soon enough, I am an exacting taskmaster.
As for his request for more substantive content, I have been so busy fielding lucrative consulting offers and [...]

What online educators can learn from motivational speakers

When I read the Web logs (or ‘blogs’) that are supposedly on the ‘bleeding edge’ of technology, I cannot believe how few of them show the slightest awareness of the power of enforced subliminal motivation. The kind of learning that is literally imprinted into the subconsciousness of the student, consumer, experimental test subject or detainee.
I [...]
