Whether the excuse is pandemic or not, it has been a loooooong time since the guitar has been out of the case, even longer since penning an EdTech cover tune. Without more blathering, here is a bit of crooning by Bob CC-by-an with an open education protest song This was done hastily as part of […]
You know you have a domain of your own problem when you venture into your cpanel and find sites that you not only do not remember making, you forgot their purpose. In this case I gazed down the spiral of WordPress Theme recursion. What the bleep am I blog muttering about? It’s this subdomain of […]
Profound statement ahead. The web is made of links. Except when they don’t work. This trail all began with a throw away tweet: Yes, I have that old blogger habit of looking through old posts or using them as my (cue the operatic swelling music)… Knowledge Management System. So often, “or mansy days” as the […]
If I had to choose one internet tool to take on my deserted island (the one with high speed fiber of course), easily it would be flickr. Often chalked up for dead, passe, not hip, and overshadowed by FacebookGram, I cannot help but revel that a service started in 2004 not only still exists but […]
Well it’s more like a day dream that Gojira would rise up with a roar and — this started as a bit of a rant and play at the way Twitter quote / unquote addresses accessibility for tweeted images. I can’t fix twitter. Even Twitter can’t really fix Twitter. But I can do something about […]
Hi. There has not been too much nostalgia posting here lately (well actually not much at all, so there). Maybe last June? But who cares if I feel like dipping into my tech past, it’s there. It’s part of my journey. And it’s my blog, my domain. Farther back, maybe a year ago, I recanted […]
Despite sci-fi ideas of bending, traveling, tunneling wrinkling, that time thing just keeps moving along. Another August 27. Click. Sure the laws of physics can explain the passage of 10 years since my Mom passed away today and 20 years since Dad did, but how does it make sense that they would do so on […]
The [WordPress] world has enough hate dislike for the Block Editor (ask Tony Hirst). I like it better when a work around works. In my OE Global work I’ve been working on a podcast series, and saw a need to generate audio playlists for different groups of episodes. I remember doing playlists in raw HTML, […]
I am composing this in the way the ancient ones blogged. Archaically, pen to paper. Content-wise, nothing is different than writing here in WordPress, it’s just a jumble of words. In what I conjure as an annual semi-tradition (i have convinced myself I have done this before, now that I think of it, last year’s […]
SPLOTs just won’t go away [from this blog]. I recently celebrated some success in building a new part of the machine, then realizing it’s use case might be narrow. So while no one needs say a third arm, the process of designing it often has unexpected payoffs later. It Came About Because I Messed Up […]
