According to Colo…Coloph-Thing I’m in the stretch of coming up doing 19 years of WordPressing, which started with this here blog. I might emulate the SNL Chico Esceula character to say, “WordPress has been vedddy vedddy good to me.” This is not the post to wax or moan about the new phases of WordPress, but […]
Last month I did some of my family history unraveling in honor of my Aunt Dorothy’s birthday, as she is the last living sibling of my Mom. The 1934 family photo of all five got me thinking of my mother’s brother, Harvey, the only boy. The expressions in these photos match my Mom’s stories when […]
(oops, look at who has been using WordPress for 20 years and still forgets to click “Publish”) For those with an eye for numbers and dates, January 1, 2024 has some math going- whether you are month/date/year or date/month/year, as Tristan Louis pointed out you have some fun progressive number addition January 1 also means […]
As we careen down the hill of inevitable slope to a machine generated future, it’s relieving to have small experiences that reveal humanness. Here’s one. In the world of Creative Common Licenses (which I am a BF, Big Fan), one of the least favorite things I see are nitpicking/haggling over license details, like they are […]
In the best Tom Woodward style1, this post is more a reference for me than most anyone else. Besides so many people are freaked out by the WordPress editor, who’s really gonna tweak a theme file? Me. Okay, I have a really old site that was part of the Networked Narratives fleet of sites (it’s […]
Tick, tick, tick, hours before the Y in date functions goes up by one. There are no year end summaries here, no glorifying the air miles clocked (not many anyhow), no forecasts for 2024, and FFS absolutely no resolutions. The week of time away held promise for catching up on writing here, where the drafts […]
Be wary of nebulous titles as they forbode a blog post of meandering paths and uncertain destinations. As I look gleefully over his holiday break span full of plans to write all the posts rattling in my head and browser tabs left open for months, it too reminds me of this stack of unfinished intentions […]
Hi, so I like that nifty Mastodon post you shared, how can I WordPress it, do I have to do screenshots? asks my good great, fantastic behind the beard friend Bryan Alexander. Heck no, WordPress can grok this. Every Mastodon post has an embed link, like the one I sent to Bryan by email, look […]
Calling a technomechanical object “smart” is a few notches below bestowing intelligence, but I am happily surprised when I discover (often accidentally) what that phone thing can do. I’ve known for more than a year that after taking photos of a plant or flower on the iThing yielded a small “i” icon in the bottom […]
As usual, my favorite mode for discovering internet nuggets (c.f. bag of gold) are ones I was not looking for and pretty much stumble into while doing something else. Thus it was I found On Demand Smart Links, which honestly sounds like a buzzword. I deduce this was previously called Song.Link (yup, redirect) as a […]
