I’ve been using WordPress since 2005, hacking themes since 2008, and doing a whole lot more since then.. yet I have never written a plugin. All of my custom code has been done in theme templates and functions.php files Well, now I have done so, without spilling much blood. This is also the first time […]
File this one in the Unexpected Wonderful Internet Things That Started With an Almost Random Click department. I do like to know when someone comments on my flickr photos. In a previous version of the mobile app, what it showed for notifications matched the settings you make on the web for your flickr activity. You […]
Dumb idea. Why did this little worm crawl in my head today? New silly idea brewing for a cover song that mocks moocs… — Alan Levine (@cogdog) June 1, 2015 Someone was tweeting about the end of an open course. I have this thing about talking about the finality of something. Some things should end. […]
This is just making sure there’s a post in the category in the feed that connects to the Teaching with WordPress thing going on at UBC, being led by good colleagues and friends there. I’ve been using WordPress since April 2005, when it was version. Why do I know that? Because I have a blog […]

A new twitter account created for an upcoming educational project in Mexico– essentially does not exist beyond the limits of looking at the account. Yet I get bombarded daily by […]

To me, what’s more important about flickr is what you do not see on the site or the (still partly crippled) mobile […]
Those people on the east coast were tweeting early, before I even rolled open my eyes, but this caught my attention: My website in a Dropbox cc @twoodwar @timmmmyboy http://t.co/hZUrdB7PaE — Gardner Campbell (@GardnerCampbell) May 30, 2015 Dave Winer created this interesting PagePark thing, if I grok it correctly, it’s a bunch of standalone files […]
The business dudes keep wringing that twitter cannot succeed while not growing its number of users, so strike up the Google is Buying rumor. Meanwhile Rod Serling smiles in the corner, smoke curling up from his cigarette. I just spotted a growth spurt. Did anyone say twitter needs more human users? Some mornings when I […]
Someone never told the folks who participated in the 2013 Educational Technology and Media MOOC that it was over. They are still at it. FYI: @courosa @cogdog just to let you know #Etmooc in 30 in case you know anyone wanting to join in ? ALL welcome — Susan Spellman Cann (@SSpellmanCann) May 28, 2015 […]
Somewhere in the fuzzy pile of recent link clicks in twitter, I came across The Web, A Giant Machine to Think With where Robert Friedman (aka omnigorant) describes how “goofing around on an AOL chatroom” as a kid (“being naughty”) was actually a trigger in his life to becoming someone creating and teaching with the […]
