Come sit around the campfire for more old web person stories. As it was when I landed on the web in 1993, I am always thinking about the making, the literal weaving as the master wrote, of the web. And how underneath it all, nearly always visible, if you can look, is a bunch of […]
I can’t explain the why I did this much less why I am blogging about it, but I aim to skip some of the blather, and let you, humble visitor, just take a click at what I hatched yesterday (warning note, there are images that shake and flash a bit). So yeah, I have this […]
I believe the old saying is true – “[Blogging] insanity is writing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results” like maybe someone actually reading it (?). But heck, I’m not in this for the clicks, it’s my blog, and I’ll retell it if I want to. It’s about a guitar I […]
Almost more than anything on the internet, I love Flickr. Weird, eh? Maybe one of the first media sources to full embrace and integrate Creative Commons licensing, Flickr is not only the main place for sharing my own photos but also the place I usually dip into first for finding photos shared under open licenses […]
As if anyone is noticing, as if that even matters, but I am joyful to have closed out the Sixth Month of my Daily Photo Habit, 18 years in the running (hardly 19 years of perfection). Indeed, June 30 as Day 181 puts me over the halfway hump. Six months and batting 181/181. These last […]
I calculate multiple years have passed since I recorded an EdTech Cover Song where I lamely rewrote lyrics, munged some chords, to be dumb enough to post online my bad talent. But I love the act of rewriting lyrics, all on my own, no LLMs in the mix. Just to get the cringing out of […]
This was just another one of those stories where someone made use of one of my public domain flickr photos shared under CC0. If you follow the typical convention as taught in those woekshops, this means you can use an image, and not even need to give credit. Just grab and go. But that’s what […]
Throw a party, in 2025 Flickr announces the arrival of Creative Commons version 4.0 licenses (cough, 12 years in the works?). I’d seen the announcement banner on flickr, though gave it no notice (especially since I use CC0 on my own photos, no versions needed). That is until I spotted a note from Sarah Honeychurch […]
The web is at its best, for me, when it yields the unexpected, scented with sweet serendipity. I see myself at odds with the bulk of where the web is sliding, as a Gimme Machine, that we just keep kicking until one gets the desired shiny candy. The web of machines, not the web of […]
Is the background music “Let’s get metaphysical” ? Nah, Just playing my own name game. I had to refrain from writing what is in the vein of declaration of blue as the sky color, but indeed “I like podcasts”. And I mean listening to them. My time for doing this in while driving, often on […]
