For as vast and fast expanding as it is, the web ends up being rather friable (that’s my geology vocabulary surfacing). All set off by a seemingly simple tweet by Rob Reynolds https://twitter.com/xplanarob/status/720697804969111553 It reminded me of a paper from a colleague I met way back in my own way back machine, back to my […]
Like a classic MOOC dropout artist, I’ve fallen so far off of my #western106 horse I can’t even see the dust any more. I had grand hopes of running a DS106 in a genre of Western films/stories. I was doing trailers back in October for a planned online class to teaching at Kansas State University, […]
For “fun” in the last day or two I have been tinkering and revamping one of my own WordPress sites. One of the things I most enjoy about these episodes is that I typically enter with one goal in mind, and in the process of doing, figuring out, I end up working on things I […]
That’s my new dog Felix, inside my fenced-in yard. The people at the Humane Society told me his owners left him alone in a backyard, and he had escaped several times by jumping the fence. The last time he jumped, his collar got stuck, and he was found hanging there. Brought to the shelter, and […]
Darn you Daily Create sending me down a creative rabbits hole. Thanks.

It’s been too long since I blogged some WordPress code. That sounds like some sort of confessional. “Forgive my Ma.tt, for I have sinned, it’s been 34 days since my last WordPress post…” And this is something I did maybe back in January, something Mariana Funes has asked for a while for her to use […]
I’ve been dog-less since 2008. There was extensive travel in those years and moderately extensive excuses not to have a dog. That phase is over as of today. Meet Felix, a 22 month old Australian Shepherd / Catahoula Leopard Dog mix. Yeah I had to look up that breed: Louisiana’s “hog dog” is a jambalaya […]
In my last long scroll post I went over the steps for forking and editing a silly GitHub page to mess with the lyrics of “Home on the Range.” That is like, so, not really useful. This one might not be either. But it could be fun. When you use a bookmarklet tool created with […]
Ugh I am not going to start doing tl;dr stuff, but my intros seem to be long. I am going to invite you to try some simple github edits to a public site, come fork with me, ok? I’ve had a GitHub account since 2010 (my guess was later, but found that on my profile). […]
Many are dismissive of nostalgia… until they have racked up a few years and have some to look back on. If that’s not your shtick, click on. In 1999 I was 7 years into my career as an instructional technologist at the Maricopa Community Colleges, working in a central office of faculty development for the […]
