So while listening to Stephen Downes’ presentation today from the Connectivism Conference, I admit to doing some multi-tasking. My mind drifted in and out. Not a reflection of Stephen, more of my need to get about 12 things done at once. I did focus in on a bit on his thoughts on pattern recognition. So my mind drifted from this to consider Stephen and David Crosby. I’m sure Stephen’s been told a time or two that he looks like David Crosby but combine this image,
with these Crosby, Stills and Nash lyrics:
“Think about how many times I have fallen
Spirits are using me larger voices callin’
What Heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten
(I’ve been around the world) I have been around the world…”
I’d really like to say that this weird thought about the global context of the song and the likeness in appearance is a really interesting, meaningful example of pattern recognition or even connectivism but I suspect that my lack of focus disqualifies me from making a legitimate post. I probably don’t quite get it yet. “But you know I will, and you know I will”

BRAVO! That’s a good call. I think this would be appropriate for a new meme, and going on the rock and roll theme, I’ll suggest Hughie Thomasson of the Outlaws as a young Steven Downes.

Well, actually I look exactly like David Crosby, and I play all the music, wish I had a Graham for every time I needed a Still. Whoops I mean I’m looking for a Graham Nash performer look alike and a Stills. We have a Neil Young, and we really don’t require any make up or wigs.
