About

This is the personal website of Mark Phillipson, and I welcome you to it. I’m a romanticist, a teacher, a new media wrangler, and something of a librarian. To give you an idea of how any of that fits together, here are a few journalistic surfacings of my work:

  • 2006.12 - EDUCAUSE podcast interview at CNI
  • 2006.11 - Columbia News
  • 2006.05 - Simmons InfoLink
  • 2005.11 - Columbia Spectator
  • 2005.07 - Chronicle of Higher Education
  • 2005.03 - Washington Post
  • 2004.09 - EDUCAUSE
  • 2004.09 - AP Wire
  • 2003.11 - Bowdoin Academic Spotlight
  • Clayfox.com has been appearing in some fashion on the web since, what, 1998. It was a blog in the late ’90s, for just a short time, until I shrugged off. In 2005 I moved again towards bloglandia, though the site is still a repository for my teaching and a fair collection of digital photos. It is also the only authoritative source of Kapaga rules. I insist on that.

    In May 2006 I joined Columbia University’s Center for New Media Teaching and Learning. This past summer I completed a move from Portland, Maine to New York City with my partner of almost ten years, Scott Tebbetts.

      Mark! It figures that when I’m googling Mt Abora, I end up on one of your students’ pages…
      I was in your Berkeley Ashes, Sparks, and Hypertext seminar and am still slogging away at school-type things at the University of Chicago (though I hope to finish soon, I’m really… not going to). but anyway, thanks again for a fun class and a reminder of those long-past days… I’m glad to see you’re still deep in it…

      Any chance your partner is from Hollis, NH originally? If so, tell him I said hello and would love to hear from him.

      I recently visited the site of the the source of the Clayfox name. Was happy to see that it hadnt changed a bit. Away from a fresh coat of paint. Happy to say thats also true of the immediate surroundings as well. Tornado exactly the same. Drop me a line big guy. It’ll be warm outside soon (I hope).
