Like last year, the impending FUN of tax season reminds me to start organizing my records (meaning another fake vow to do better record keeping during the year) and to write up some summary for this Company of 1. This year marks 7.5 years since I last drew a regular paycheck. There are times I […]
With no apologies to Casey… One of my favorite home-spun projects that joys me to see in the world is people using my Flickr CC Attribution Helper, a tool I really built for me to make it easy to quickly form well-constructed and consistent attributions from open licensed flickr images. It’s a simple browser bookmarklet […]
Those big time motivational speakers who talk about starting to learn with a problem you want to solve have never really accounted for serendipitous learning. Is everything as simple as problem -> solution? This is one of those times I accidentally learned something I had no intent of learning. It was like 3 by products […]
Big Data. Massive courses. Large scale. Yawn, I’ll take the other end of the graph. Like from this post, recounting how a DS106 Daily Create honoring an 1990s woman bronco rider named Bonnie McCarroll. Three months after Ron’s response to that daily create, sculptor Ann Ayers responded sharing info about her bronze works of Bonnie […]
This seems by my time to working on projects using web annotating. As noted early, we are planning more extensive use of hypothes.is in netnarr but the really Big Show is taking off this week, the project with Gardner Campbell on Annotating Doug Engelbart’s Augmenting Human Intellect: A Conceptual Framework. Some of the background has […]
Yet again a random click leads down an internet rabbit tunnel. Or a dead end. I meant to do another blog post, and was rummaging through the public domain images the Library of Congress Free to Use Extension puts in my new Chrome tabs. The expression on her face, plus the title of Belle North, […]
This week of February was always handy for remembering to send cards or do phone calls to my parents. I knew the 5th and the 8th marked their anniversary and Mom’s birthday (often I’d get them switched but close enough is always good enough by parents like mine). Yes, the 5th came, and as my […]
This was way overdue for our millions of fans, but this podcast is finally available in the iTunes Podcast Store….
It can take a lot of [insane?] effort to publish something like the DS106 Daily Create every day, but there seems to be enough hands on the wheel to do it daily. I’m not sure where or who did the asking, but I recall being asked if the Daily Blank theme it uses could be […]
I don’t dislike metadata at all. It does wonderful things to organize heaps of media, content. But it sometimes leaving me… cold. A tweet from Bryan Alexander got this mind clicking. It’s a great story. The Ed Bacon Project is uploading thousands of photos (all with open licenses) documenting the city of Philadelphia, asking the […]
