And readers think I may go on and on about my old technologies. This guy did a big demo 50 years ago that makes all other demos, including mine, look tiny. If you do not know about the Mother of All Demos, put down the computing device you use every day without much thinking of […]
Just rolled a new feature into the Daily Blank WordPress theme that’s been on my whiteboard list for a few months (speaking of that, where is my whiteboard?). Note: I just found this post sitting in my drafts, written like 5 months ago. Oops. This is the theme built for sites like the DS106 Daily […]
I’d like to think it’s rather clear if anyone glances at this blog that despite it’s title, it does not sell dog products, and definitely is not in the genre of home improvement tips. Plus, there is a clear statement on the bottom of every page. The exact statement is: Here I bark and growl […]
What else to do on a chilly, blustery, snowy day, sitting on the couch, in front a warm fireplace, side by side blogging with my Cori… then to fiddle with my WordPress themes? Yeah, as she says a compliment, I am weird. This week I was helping my friend Mariana do some revamps, web site […]
I’m fairly sure most thinking humans have an internal, mostly unsaid list of Can’ts. The list of things we have cemented a certainty that we can’t do. They are way down there in the subconscious, deeply rooted, and often adrift from the experiences that formed them. Mine? They are not always big ones, but they […]
While I’ve gotten used to sharing most of my code projects in GitHub for the most part my repos are a one dog band.

Again I will spend more time writing up a blog post about some little thing I did than actually doing the little thing. Maybe it’s my vanity, or just trying to capture how I go about my work. It’s my blog and I can blog what I want… Sometimes I take these little self dares […]
From way out here to there, here is my first every participating in a 9x9x25 blogging “thing” via the one being run at Ontario Extend led by Terry Greene. I may easily use up my 25 sentences introducing it 😉 As explained in one of the posts about this effort to network/connect educators: We want […]
It was sure nice to see the way one of the SPLOTs hatched in 2014 is being used at Coventry University: The Compendium Of Bothersome Beasties: A SPLOT for student self reflection and formative feedback [18-162] Samantha Clarke, Lauren Heywood et al. #altc https://t.co/pixXVEoKqs — ALT – alt.ac.uk (@A_L_T) October 2, 2018 When I can […]
As I gaze out the window at snow falling on October 2, it may help to situate the reader who missed the story that this year I migrated from Arizona to the prairies of Saskatchewan, the call to move being one of love. And you may glean from flickr/Instagram photos that Cori and I share […]
