The night sky has dimmed out on planet arganee.world. From the surface, Earth has dipped below the horizon for the last time. As part of my domain sweeping started in April this year I had turned off the Hover auto-renew for a domain I set up in 2016 as a home for the Networked Narratives […]
A bit late for the monthly round of cleanups, but the mop is out. I have a few legacy domains running WordPress multisite that I am just going to bite my disgust of breaking links and let them go, after making sure they are full rounded up in the Internet Archive. I considered doing the […]
Hey! It’s a placeholder post! This is in prep for a session in the planning for the Reclaim Open Conference 2025 wiith some theme about rewilding. I am in cahoots with a confabulating group of DS106 veterans and we are going to get y’all rewilding via the DS106 Daily Create. Can you handle the Daily […]
Just typing the “t” word brings all the smelly fetid connotations. Still, twitter can be a swell place, Wally. The writing on the wall is happening for a string of my web sites and some silly experiments that likely the world will not suffer to be without. And while this week we are hearing of […]
Mmmmm memes. I love that I do not have to explain them. Yet there’s much more to just passing them around or responding to someone’s tweet/email/text message with one you yank off the web. I’ve tried to make the case that there is a use for silly media (and again). We put them to use […]

I was a tad skeptical when I saw the tweets being reshared from a student who was (rightfully if true) upset that his university was having dead professors teach classes. It was the macabre right out of a Netflix series idea of the Teaching Dead but then it is amplified by this Slate story, How […]
Oops. Speaking of slacking on the blogging, the last post here on this year’s Networked Narratives class was the first one about this year’s class. This fourth iteration of this change it up every year course co-taught with Mia Zamora at Kean University mixed things up from previous years. More on that soon. From the […]
There you go, try guess the nature of this blog post from a word heavy vague title. Better yet, just go first and try the thing I will be ‘splaining right here. Well, are you back? Did anything happen? Because one of our students in class (she too a teacher) asked as well as my […]
Each week I buy a package of cheap storebrand sugar cookies, I call them my “Horrible Cheap Cookies.” I eat 2 or 3 when my blood sugar dips. My wife laughs at me, but I kind of like those no-name maple cookies. I have no idea what’s in them. I can guess, but do I […]
