After many years of being a first grade teacher, my sister Judy has certainly earned the freedom of retirement days doing what she wants. She has been messaging this week as she is sorting through many boxes of family memories, sharing a gem every day. She sent this photo asking if I remembered it: But […]
Note: It’s rare around this blog that something lingers in draft as long as this post. There is a reason for everything, right? But this one needs to get squeezed out of the Easy Blog Oven for another one to follow. The very same desire I heard in my first week (1992) as an instructional […]
For everything wrong about the 2021 web, the candle in the small window is the unexpected click that results in an expression of Neo-like “Woah” – is that truly possible in a web browser? Once the bar was set kind of low to be amazed by the web, just a collection of not so stupid […]
We use it so frequently that perhaps we do not marvel that web search works. Especially the one where the brand name becomes the verb. In that googling something, typing a few words into a box, pressing a button, and getting a long stream of positive results. And of course “works” is the laden term […]
The blog keeps on keeping on, though I see in recent posting, there’s a lot of looking back, and one (well this one) can start worrying about being seen as too “back in the day” mindset. Time to flip the scopes (well there is a lingering draft of one more retro post). The old CogDogBlog […]
It must say something without saying that getting to the end of one book a year is blog worthy. Let it be said unsaid, but there is my bookmark in the index pages at the end of Errol Morris’s Believing is Seeing (Observations on the Mysteries of Photography). The path here was one of those […]
According to the 25 of EdTech Years Goggles, 1994 was the year of BBS. The web itself came to be a thing in 1995. But you’ve heard it all, right? My foray into what I might claim as an open course on the web has been dangling around that drafty place of drafts described by […]
An email came in bearing the simple subject line “photo permission”. This often ends up here as a blog post, and this one take me full circle back to 2006. Marty, start up the DeLorean, we are riding the blog machine back in time! The writer of the email states that they are putting out […]
This post is here mostly as I expect to forget this tidbit. Human memory freshness dwindles exponentially. Over in my work at the OpenETC I wrote a guide for using the Display Posts plugin. This most handy plugin lets you take control of where and how to display dynamically a list of posts, rather than […]
May 2 is but one the 365 days per year, another block on the calendar, but also it is World Tuna Day. Who knew? Skip on by if you, rare reader, are looking for something difference for me recycling family memories. It’s my blog! This day for me is the marking of my Dad’s birthday, […]
