There are little things one can still do without AC (Asking ChatGPT). But first, a word about blogging! It was quite wonderful that after writing my post on installing the Photini app that I quickly got a comment from its developer, Jim Easterbrook. How does that happen? I’d guess he has a google alert for […]
While I’ve hung up collecting Amazing Stories of Openness I never tire of coming across inspiring acts of it– as Nancy White had said in one of the first of these videos, “Openness is an attitude.” This week I participated in the online Open Texas 2024 conference. In a town hall session we were spun […]
Whew, I really thought I had my blog title pun game back on, but this one just did not work. This is mostly, as blog posts ought to be, for myself as a note of trying a new to me photo tool called Photini. As it turns out (BIB, Because It’s Blogged), the name has […]
Tag, we are it. I love me free form tagging. A bit before there were #hashtags there was the Web2.0 frenzy of folksonomy, and wealth that Wikipedia is, leads me to the birth of a term used quite widely. It rounds counter to the rigidity and forced rules of Official Metadata, in that people, groups, […]
Before the rise of social media as the web’s public conversation space, where I felt it happened well, was across the comment space of blogs. As distributed as it was, it might have been a “distribuverse”- and was woven together by the use of hyperlinks and maybe trackback pings. Given the abuse of comment spammers […]
That’s the plan (and actually better pace than the stack of partly reads on my nightstand table). The book is “A Year in the Woods” by Norwegian writer Torbjørn Ekelund– the sad state of web search yields no author managed web site, just links to book sellers or book reviews, I link therefore to a […]
After so many years of taking/making photography, from an undergraduate photography class at the University of Delaware, to a darkroom in my grad school apartment, to first digital photos with an Apple Quicktake, on through DSLRs, and the alluring capability of an iPhone 13, I’ve been firm on representing the world I see. Even if […]
Woah, two blog posts two days in a row? That has not happened since, like… 1942 (that’s a joke for Cori and I). The blog is not dead! But indeed, I got some of the nice, chest thumping “chuffed” feeling (as my friends on the other pond side say), for a recent flickr photo I […]
To break my own languishing of writing here (to which nobody notices), I reach for the bloggers oldest topic, blogging about blogging. Right? And so I reach back, way back, to my own Pre-Cambrian blogging era, the first post, to which, true to form, I pun[t] on the descriptive title for what I think might […]
Just when one might think the glorious, joyful, unlimited potential of the internet has cratered to an ad-laden pool of machine generated goop, amazingness happens again. The odds of what I will lay out here seem improbable. Well, someone can likely do a back of the napkin estimate. While I have hung up efforts to […]
