Psss, there are ways to do online conferences that do not require The Zoom. It sounds unlikely, but I have been part of two Twitter based WordPress in education conferences cooked up by Pat Lockley, PressEd versions I’ve been a part of in 2018, in 2019, and in 2020. So when Pat messaged about looking […]
I know nothing of karate beyond what I have seen in movies, but I would guess that one of the philosophies behind it is “simpler = better”. My karate non-knowledge did not stop me from using the metaphor in a post where I thought I was being clever to using some Google Spreadsheets to extract […]
Since June I have been pretty deep in H5P support for a BCcampus project (yes. the kitchen). But I had a deep run with H5P on a project earlier in the year, likely pushing the limits of what the Branching Scenario content type can do. I likely will write a lot below about the behind […]
As those great O2 ads went… “Be More Dog” The other morning as Cori and I went outside, with Felix following, both of us humans saw the rabbit. Felix was oblivious as he scampered about. Even the rabbit was aware. But once Felix looked at the critter, he took off in chase. Full force. He […]

In my best Rod Serling intonation, “Submitted for your approval, two different musicians, never having made contact, both express appreciation and credit for shared public domain photos, and offer thanks despite the general understanding of said licenses are that you do not have to attribute…” A direct message came to me in instagram, and it’s […]
It’s about time. Thank you, WordPress version 5.5. A subtle new feature appeared, I only glanced after running the update on one of my sites. Those themes you install directly from WordPress have long been easy to update, it’s done in one click (and now can be set to autoupdate). But for themes you upload […]
August 27 loomed… and now passes by on the calendar. Flip, another year. This one marks 19 years since my Dad passed away. A flip the bird to stomach cancer. And then 10 years later to the day, Mom succumbed to a heart attack. The same day. Not a coincidense. Just marked here with another […]
