The semi-regular email notices from Pixsy made it a good day to peer into the flickr photo reuse mirror and add to my album of 379 photos reused elsewhere on the intertubes. Sure it’s my own navel gazing vanity, but mostly its wild curiosity not only to see who is reusing my photos but in […]
I’m thrilled to see that Reclaim Hosting still runs the DS106 Radio Summer Camp as a light, low threshold way to gather online about as far from a wall of zoom faces as you can get. It was 12 hours of programming you could just spin the dial to over to https://listen.reclaimed.tech/summer-camp and tune in. […]
As Forrest Gump never said, “Momma told me life is like a box of yams…” Nope that does not work, just the morning brain on free association. For those not reading ariound here before, my love of taking and sharing photos is not centered in making money or getting anything from my photos, and this […]
It’s more than tattered and a while since I blabbed about the spurious nature of online practices of attribution. I was somewhat inspired here by interesting analysis of Why I Attribute made by Stephen Downes (who’s busy biking somewhere, why do I need to write this?) based on a simple series of online posts/shares that […]
Look at the pup’s photo. Why so sad, Kay? This flickr photo of you I took in 2014 while visiting your human, Richard Elliot, at his home in Auckland, has just been added to the home grown collection of my flickr photos that have been reused elsewhere. Maybe it’s boasting or self vanity, but discovering […]
Ain’t that llama a cutie? What is that smile about? Ah, it’s how this person (a.k.a..me) can stand the fact that someone is making money off of a photo I took and shared on the internets. Doesn’t a license protect me? Welcome to my unconventional corner of the Creative Commons tent, already explained in 2016: […]
I bristle slightly when I reads something that seems to conflate Open Textbooks and Open Educational Resources (OER). Only slightly. The success of open textbooks, not only for what they are providing and creating benefits to students, is that it finally is something the wider swath of academia has awakened to. So the bristling matters […]
Beyond movies and perhaps MAD magazine references I have no direct experience with being forced castor oil as a cold remedy. But there is an old advertisement in an image that is in the public domain. Every indication is that the stuff does not taste well. Bring it on. I’ve been conducting a long running […]
I will always make a case for image attribution in online publishing as an act of gratitude first, over following rules of some license. And to put this practice into all my works, not just here in the old dog blog. As an ongoing experiment in “a license is only a minimum statement” a few […]
