50 Year Joslin Medal… Sweet (Splenda-like)
It took more than 3 months to get here, but having waiting 50 years, well I’m patient. Within a fancy red velvet covered box I got my Joslin Center Medal for having lived with Type 1 Diabetes for 50 years (that line was crossed in late October 2020). The details were spelled out when I […]

For Your 71st Anniversary All I Got You Was a Blog Post
Today would be well heck always is my parent’s wedding anniversary. 71 years ago today, Mickey and Alyce got hitched. Married in 1950, their anniversary math was always easy, but damn, the number is getting big. I could tell the story how they met at the pool I believe at Druid Hill park (or was […]

Random Musing
Dead Professors Society
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 […]

Generating Generators (cows indirectly involved)

Previously on this blog… This was a time when I recrafted a thing Martin Weller had found for a randomizing tech generator that spit out funny, but maybe idea prompting edtech metaphors. You can’t be more proud when […]
SPLOT, Wordpress
A Few Wire Twists and BAM! SPLOTBox Now Supports Vocaroo
This was done pretty much over breakfast and I bet I spend more time writing this blog post than it took to code a new addition to the media supported by the SPLOTbox WordPress theme. Blame/Credit DS106. I’m on a little self dare to try and do the DS106 Daily Create every day, done over […]
OE Global, Podcasting, Random Musing
Podcasting. Doing it Right. Doing it Wrong. As if Binaries Exist.
It’s almost like it’s 2004. There’s an exciting new thing someone portmanteau-ed as “podcasting”. Not so new, of course. I’ve been part of one with Antonio Vantaggiato that defies the meaning of frequency (it’s more or less a reason to talk to mi amigo). I’ve also started a series for my work this year as […]
