I present to you a URL oddity of no significant value. Impress and amaze your friends. And it happened pretty much because of a typo. Ok, here is a URL for one of my recent photos (I kind of like it) (shameless self promotion): https://www.flickr.com/photos/cogdog/32331643261/ It’s a normal, current flickr page: Now… add an extraneous […]
Of all the SPLOTs I worked in with Brian Lamb the TRU Writer one (which I start calling the SPLOT Writer) is easily a favorite. It was not the first one, but the first one that had quick uses out of the gate as a way to create a site where people could create a […]
Working on the Creative Commons Certification project I keep falling deeper into the nuances of attribution. Just in the last weeks, I have updated my flickr cc attribution helper to add options use the CC Best Practices (TASL) approach as well to make a cut and paste approach to work for medium.com publishing. It came […]
It’s open and out of the gate. That is, the open, connected Networked Narratives course I am co-teaching with Mia Zamora. My paranoid self thinks all the colleagues I have talked to about this, and badgered into a slack Slack, are secretly shaking their heads at me. But with some early openings of a Daily […]
Two great minds around a fire on an laptop, on a not very chilly night in Toronto… tonight was a “fireside chat” co-hosted by Creative Commons Canada and E-Campus Ontario. Creative Commons CEO Ryan Merkley interviewed David Wiley for 90 minutes on a wide range of topics from CC licenses to open education to Lumen […]
We must be off our medicine. Or on some new one. Or breathing strange vapors. Mia Zamora and I are ploughing ahead with an open connected course we call Networked Narratives with a door that opens January 16. We do have a full class of undergraduate and graduate students at Kean University who are even […]
This is a hastily written description of a little mystery site I put together at http://arganee.world. The sliding images in the background are done by an HTML5up template called Eventually, but the dynamic text in the middle is done via some calls to the WordPress API via jQuery. The whole thing started when building out […]
Note: I posted this first on medium.com intended as a demo for this blog post. But it took a day to get around to this, so it might look like I am writing my stuff there. Not. This blog always comes first. Sort of. I often feel lonely fighting for attribution for photos openly shared […]
Likely you have had the experience of a problem with the way a web site works, or information that is wrong missing, and finding it nearly impossible to communicate with a human. I had this issue with the site where I order my mail order prescriptions – the phone number was wrong, the message I […]
Just one more under the wire blog post for 2017, and yes it’s about photos. I had to wait until I posted photo number 366 for this year… … so I could try John Johnston’s “wee little” script he posted that generates a rapid montage of a series of flickr photos. There was a now […]
