I will project I spent more time remixing the featured image for this post than writing it, but the reward of both is something I can likely never fully explain. It was the best of software, it was the worst of software, it was the age of the metaverse, it was the age of foolishness, […]
There are few things better (for me) than inadvertently coming across a fabulous web site, resource, tool, or just a curious link– even better when I was not looking for it. Cue the theme music of Web Serendipity… On a break from work (I swear it was a break, honestly) I saw something Laura Gibbs […]
The audience who appreciates a subtle reference to recursion, a machine that makes machines, or going meta about something meta is sized down there maybe in the single digits… of one hand. Oh well, if anything I write to amuse myself. Insert laughter. So speaking of turning on a machine of productivity, Martin Weller is […]
Mmmmm memes. I love that I do not have to explain them. Yet there’s much more to just passing them around or responding to someone’s tweet/email/text message with one you yank off the web. I’ve tried to make the case that there is a use for silly media (and again). We put them to use […]
“Oh no, Granny! I must call you and apologize for not doing so on your birthday, last Friday… at least I made your split pea soup…” She would have been 116 that day — plus or minus as the story goes, October 15 was picked by a Census taker since Baby Janet lacked a birth […]
It seems like you can hardly spit these days without hitting a podcast. Spit at me, I am at it too! What you can do these days (like having a web based multi-source recording studio, like Zencastr is far ahead of what I was doing in 2006 with a tiny pocket sized digital recorder. I’ve […]
People have pretty much lost track of the syndication bus, small things joined in any way, and talking about things like RSS is a sure fire way for some kid to make fun of grandpa on TikTok. It still runs strong in me. Heck I just tested putting a Hypothes.is RSS feed into Feed2JS. It […]
Coming uo with solutions to WordPress needs often means finding a different tree to bark at. I’m never surprised to discover along the way some dusty niche in the code. For example, in the tale I spin out here, I never knew there was a limit for the number of tags the default tag cloud […]
Last week this time I was just sliding off of adrenaline mountain after my Open Education Global colleagues and I ended the week long OEGlobal 2021 Conference. I’ve railed long and repeatedly here about the conference format, but then again when it’s your own affair, it’s different. And I like almost all others I hear […]
I’m allowed to shame myself here, right? It’s my blog, my domain, hell yeah! By my own and flickr’s reckoning, this is the 14th year of my daily photo posting habit. It does amuse myself that the flickr feature of collections, meaning a group of albums of photos (which is meta meta) is not anywhere […]
