I’ve had a 14+ year loving relationship with flickr since joining in maybe March 2004. I’ve seen all of the prognostications of its death after its sale to Yahoo and absorption into Yahoo and more recently the sale to SmugMug. I have over 61,000 photos sitting there which has benefited me many times over in […]
Thanks to Colin Madland I got to co-present out work on creating a system for WordPress hosted portfolios for over 500 new students at Trinity Western University. I was unable to attend in person, but Colin submitted us a proposal and got me in the room via his Zoom room. Waving back at you @cogdog […]
Yikes. Guess who is a week behind in 9x9x25 blogging. Good thing no one is keeping count. Right Terry? Mine was triggered by reading a 9x9x25 post by JR Dingwell, A different approach to the ‘video lecture’. Like JR, I’m not all that excited about video capture or lecture video: I mentioned that normally I […]
When someone loves you fully they often read you better than you think you know yourself. I’m blessed to have that in my life now. In a recent dinner conversation where I was sharing with Cori some of the latest US news I had been following, she looked deeply into my eyes and said, “I […]
Pesky WordPress bugs, this is how we take care of them. It’s all about isolating the problem, some keyword searching, and a smattering of luck. This post just for my own reference. I’m helping my friend Mariana Funes with a collection of sites in her WordPress Multisite at http://marianafun.es (note she is using my WP-Dimension […]
A good jukebox can always stand a few more kinds of music put into the rotation, right? I’ve just made some updates to the SPLOTbox media collector in response to a request from Dave Quinn. @cogdog really love the Juke Box #SPLOT layout & want to use it to collect + share participant creations @ […]
There’s little end in sight for fixing all the dead links I have to Content Previously Housed on Wikispaces since they went and pooped their own web bed. Another one today when Ken Bauer tweeted an old image: Working on finding the original but this is better. #Conisoft2018 pic.twitter.com/YQ3Z251AMj — Ken Bauer Favel (@ken_bauer) October […]
It was one thing to be in a discussion about Creative Commons license and then right after, get an email request to use one of my CC licensed flickr photos for a music group’s release, but last night’s email brought even more wonderful irony. A rep from an ad agency asked if their client could […]
I’ll always take “Serendipity for 500”, Alex. There was a healthy, many pathed Twitter conversation yesterday started with a statement by Robin DeRosa Thinking of changing my @creativecommons default license from CCBY to CCBYNC. I get that CCBY is the more open technically, but I'm thinking here about my vision for open (in particular as […]
Actually it’s just switches, like things to turn on and off. When I wrote the title, “switches” by itself sounded like things were changing. So imagine the gizmos. As it likely has been written before, the best things about seeing SPLOTs get used are the ways people use it that I would have never anticipated, […]
