Blockchain

Today’s blog post contains a number of suggestions for learning about Blockchain.  The YouTube videos are listed first this time because that selection includes some very basic introductory information about the concept.

Fun Survey

So, this week I don't have any heavy metadata things to report on.  Instead I have my survey from 23 Things.  It was very easy to set up and I think that it will be useful.  I will share the results with this blog in a week or so.  Please take the survey if you have time:  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/embeddedform?formkey=dHkyQUwyVXhmYzJ5VzRYdVdYUUxKWmc6MQ  And, you can forward it to others as well. Thanks and have fun.
