There’s a lot of dark writing about the state of the internet. Those links are just by people I know. Through the internet. And then there is this guy, who I don’t know, who is offering, and suggesting the folks who were around when the Wizards Stayed Up Late, should all in unison declare “We […]
Actually my title and featured image went a little off track. This is not about one powerful CSS feature… it’s all of them. Now I know that most people run shrieking at the sight of HTML, and me talking about CSS just ends up sounding like this. And I am far from being a CSS […]
My ResNetSem students are now published… well, it is our own journal, but hey, we can do that. The new Arganee Journal is here! The new Arganee Journal is here! Are you kidding? I’m somebody now! Millions of people look at this journal every day! This is the kind of spontaneous publicity – your name […]
Do you remember the kerfuffle when Georgia Tech canceled a Coursera MOOC on “Fundamentals of Online Education: Planning and Application” because the ill-advised use of a Google spreadsheet for 40,000 participants, crashed it? Can you imagine what would happen to Georgia Tech courses if a Category 4 hurricane slammed the state, leaving its inhabitants flooded, […]

When I embed a tweet in my post, that’s all I want. But WordPress, and the Twitter API, wants to give me more. I don’t have to accept that. What am I blabbering about now? Well in a recent post where I am talking about using WordPress to publish your own versions of the soon […]
The do it every year. There are three adjacent houses in Strawberry, Arizona, where Wingfield Way turns into Tonto Rim Drive and the north edge of town folds into the forest. Each Christmas, whomever lives there, sets up a huge display of lights. Of course it’s not novel, it happens everywhere. And it’s not anywhere […]
It was kind of like two blog posts unexpectedly colliding or passing in the night past a burning barge. On Sunday, Bryan Alexander asked some large questions about How would you design a professional association for the future?. I also wrote about the impending death of Storify and in their dying process leaving no plan […]
I have grand SPLOT plans for the holidays. Huh? I hope to spend some time cleaning up a number of relatively minor issues with existing SPLOTs, maybe add a new one or two (I did say grand), update the Instant SPLOT recipes (and test them out more to troubleshoot some reported issues). It’s not too […]
