I’m putting my stake in the ground to be part of the Write 6×6 extravaganza, but starting here a number 0 (also doing so to establish my tag). Writing 6 blog posts in 6 weeks should not be a challenge, it’s more about joining a group of colleagues doing the writing challenge together. As many […]
I can’t stop the curiosity impulse and sometimes feel obliged to chase down source-less photos. So it started with a Cory Doctorow tweet (just follow him, you will not be sorry) Why this image? It’s just road side Americana. Was it the tweet saying “circa 1970s” which was my childhood? That guess might be based […]
I am late on the train of exploring WordPress block development; this post at WordPress Tavern looked like a simple way to at least get the paws wet. This little tinkering has not a whole lot of deep or even mild relevance, but the code fingers have been idle lately. And it was so easy […]
Try this one. A friend, colleague contacts you and says, “Do you remember that ______ I shared at _______? The most amazing thing happened…” You do want to know what comes next, right? That’s the the opening “hook” of excitement, intrigue, a hint of a journey that makes up the best of stories. And experiencing […]
Do Google ever really commit to “Do No Evil”? They might not be buddies with Lucifer, but some news about something as banal as fonts is chilling. To me. I await someone with more expertise to shed some light, but this is how I read a recent snipped of chilling tech news. In late January, […]
Oops. This post was not on the drafts I store in the back corners of my brain. And only after typing a first title (because all my posts need titles first) (well after I search for the photo) of “Sound Around” did my neurons flip on the 60’s vintage Buffalo Springfield track. Plus adding the […]
Yes, an old Cogdog can learn a new WordPress Trick. I’ve long gotten over the move to the Block Editor. I almost chuckle like seeing an 8-track player in a thrift store when I see Ye Olde Classic Editor (e.g. in Pressbooks). But there are things I continually fumble over. It seems very frequent when […]
Usually it’s the kind of notification from the twitter app I dismiss without notice. But given it was the same day I dissed their other big offer I did give some pause of twitter telling me it was 15 years ago today I signed up for their silly service. No I am not going to […]
The British flavor of English provides the ideal descriptive term for what this and most of my blogging covers (and expect it to show up as a category or tag). And it fits for writing here about my Annotation Blues. Without Grandpa Internet pulling out a memory of annotating web pages in the Mosaic browser […]
I’m back in the podcast editing saddle with two sessions parked in Audacity for the OEG Voices show and hoping I can pin Antonio Vantaggiato down (or get my own schedule in order) for an overdue Puerto Rico Connection episode. But there is ummmm, something that I have ummmm, being pondering. To me, a universal […]
