Just a quick post here to reference what I posted on the Connected Courses site as part of the “pre-course” unit September 2 to 14 I am co-doing with Jim Groom and Howard Rheingold. This is the equivalent of what we used to do in ds106 as “Boot Camp” (probably a metaphor not useful worldwide) […]
Given the faithful rising to the Reverend’s Come to Bava call to Blog or Die I want to pick up on the followup invocation of Always Be Commenting. I’ve long clung to the idea that the scope of blogging is not just what you publish on your site but how you contribute, participate to others […]
Once again in the “spent too much time creating a clever title” department, I am here not to delve into Foucault analysis (and I had to look that one up). I can take the opening Wikipedia line on the article as “Discourse is a generalization of the notion of a conversation to any form of […]
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 […]
Where did 7 months go? In January and February of this year, my consulting work was getting worrisome t-h-i-n. Starting in March, though, things picked up. A lot. And I’ve been behind on blogging about much of it. Gotta pick up the blog. Sometime before March I got a message from Paul Stacey, who I’ve […]
There’s not much middle ground on people feel about the changes wrought to WordPress 5 with the Gutenberg Editor. It’s endless rabbit/duck season arguments. The people who love Gutenberg without qualms are Matt Mullenweg and the people who still work for WordPress trying to make the thing work. The people who hate Gutenberg are pretty […]
Many people (not here) see blogging as a thing of the past; most of the regular ones I was reading back in the early to mid 2000s have fallen silent or just vanished. Insert whatever theory you have. This one keeps going, no let up since it’s start in 2003. Here is but one small […]
Somewhere down there on the footer of this blog are some random quotes related to blogging… well actually they are quotes about writing that I have subverted for my own felonious pleasure. The full set of quotes are spit out below. For those seeking the “how ya do it” it was done with the Quotes […]
Talk about rabbit holes (the kind the dogs go running down). Twas just a tweet flying by Let's Talk About Dogs! http://t.co/HnYM7THV21 — Brendan Murphy (@dendari) May 12, 2015 This, published on imgur, is way more than image sharing. BePawsitive, self proclaimed dog lover writes: This post showed up on the front page a few […]
Through more twitter conversations with Maha Bali, my memory cells rekindled an early web project I did while working at the Maricopa Center for Learning & Instruction (Maricopa Community Colleges). I might boast that I built something to help a faculty member blog (there ought to be some scare quotes). I’d really forgotten this, but […]
