With time and the accretion of stuff that accumulate from years of tossing things on the web, again and again I stub my toe happily onto very small bits of serendipity that quietly sits there, doing it’s own, unnoticed bit of marvelousity (yes web editor red underline, I made up my own word). Note: This […]
I dare you. I double dog penguin dare you to contribute a story for my True Stories of Openness (formerly known as Amazing) aka Magic Acts of Web Serendipity… First conjured up long long ago (2009) at a conference far far away (Open Ed in Vancouver “Crossing the Chasm” was the theme), deploying not light […]
My speed of blogging is one of those limit curves approaching a large stretch of time. But hey, no one really notices but me. I thought I had not even written up this first fun tool I made, to make it possible to generate a random mixture of different voices, reading the same text, done […]
Consider this post smack dab in the center of the author extolling themselves… hmmm, that might be nearly all of them, eh? But it’s my blog and it means all my own rules, and I found it nifty through a flickr forum that a photo I shared ended up in a video celebrating their 18th […]
Now I slide down a potentially slippery incline plane to make a case for a life philosophy based on a line from a cheesy comedy-western film. Hardly the fodder for rigorous academic inquiry. Note: This is another installment in my participation in the 2022 Write 6×6 Challenge, they must sometimes shake their heads at what […]
I have a problem. Last week, instead of investigating an issue with one of my project platforms, I was exploring via Google Streetview a town in British Columbia verifying that photos of certain mysterious creatures inexplicably had their faces blurred by Uncle Google’s algorithms. In an upcoming “thing” in a few weeks I hope to […]
Hah! I was not only off by 1 in my opening for Write 6×6 I somehow missed last week, being this thing called “Spring Break” was a bonus week (?). According to the Writing Ideas page, this is week 2, so I am off by one ahead. Do I stop? Shrug, rules need not apply […]
Because my current work now is centered in open education, and coming off of Open Education Week, I was swimming much in conversations, workshops about Open Pedagogy (often as acronym OEP). I am not here to offer Yet Another Definition (check one of the best resources). I welcome this as moving beyond Open Education as […]
While lightning may not strike the same spot twice (debatable), I manage to keep recycling this same “True Stories of Openness” talk perhaps way too many times. It’s on tap as an Alt format session for OER22 but I gave it another warm up as a Creative Commons Lightning Talk for Open Education Week. Without […]
Earlier in the week I thought I might have 6 for this post as part of the Write 6×6 thing I signed up for. I was thinking of experiences I had this week that affirm or support what (I think) I know. These were triggered by interactions this week as the organization I work for, […]
