The title is not a typo nor a bad pun. Yes, it’s the fourth Thursday of November. The emails have gone quieter. My twitter and instagram are full of photos of the baking I see friends and family in the US are busy doing. The memory reels cue up like an old thumping 8mm film […]
With technology work I find Need is more of a spawner of Invention than Desperation (or Necessity). Not only did a need for a screen timer for the Open Education Global Conference spawn some productive play with OBS, earlier in the planning I came across another need where the pursuit added some new tools to […]
As best I can find from old posts, I started messing around with making a WordPress theme to provide a functionality of the ds106 Assignment Bank in July of 2013. So while lumped in as a SPLOT, it was actually pre-SPLOT. Like anyone cares. But it’s really one of my favorites to use in projects […]
I don’t need to spend paragraphs explaining the state of digital surveillance most of us have become resigned to here in 2020. I turn that over to the twitter stream of Chris Gilliard (where you do get the occasional reprieve of a pupdate). A thing that gives me some small solace is making digital art, […]

I got some luck this week with a setup I have been using for the Zoom work for the OE Global 2020 online conference. I experimented with it… the night before You might […]
I may have to put on my code dog cone of shame for finding out I was missing a feature in the SPLOT themes that should have been there a long time ago. But shame is for silly humans, so I just shook it off, and went about fixing it. This came about in conversation […]
Conferences are in the air right now, heaps of them. Just in the rear view mirror is Creative Commons Summit, EDUCAUSE, Open Ed is coming up, and after that one I am involved in, OE Global. And that’s likely a small bit of the overall conference pie. Everybody is trying to solve out the riddle […]
Dave Cormier had a serious question. I cared. I provided a legitimate answer. This one’s for you, Dave. Are you here? Featured Image:
Breaking with the usual long winding blogging, let’s go directly to the demo.
