A typical scroll trip through almost any social media stream. People share a link to something from the New York Times. Clunk. Another from the Washington Post. Thud. MIT Technology Review? Splat. Almost anything resembing a newspaper? Clank. Sure you might get one free read a month, but with every annoying frequency, reading most sources […]
Strap your self in for another wild old crazy link tour, real audio echoes from the web past, and an anomaly of a free web storytelling tool that not only is around after a start 8 years ago, but quite useful. This web rabbit hole goes deep, deep, deep, including some browser source inspection of […]
For reasons to be seen soon, I am tending to some domain cleanup. Okay, I am moving this blog from shared Reclaim hosting to their cloud hosting. Over 20+ years with this tank/barge a lot of stuff has piled up that can be better left in a quieter corner. Mainly it’s because for at least […]
Getting rid of crap is very satisfying. Especially large piles of stuff that maybe once had value, but now just reeks with the stench of rotting, wet discard food. Pressing the dump lever was quite easy. In fact, after dumping, I went on, and forgot that I had done this. Done what? It was actually […]
Howdy web partners. Sad to say, the domain renewal reaper came a’ knocking, and I let my old friend the 106tricks.net go off to the graveyard. That there web site was spun up with great dreamin’ for a Western Movie Flavored DS106 (aka #Western106) as a pardnership with Bill Genereaux for a class at K-State […]
Since I know not which will be last, I am doing my own archival work here. This was my first day twittering on January 31, 2007: This first day’s glorious messaging says so little about the future. Here is that fateful day, with tweets in chronological order: Looking at a long list of Cole’s twitterstwittering […]
I started my habit in 2005. Yes, I have accumulated more than a few domains (details in my domain interview). I can stop at anytime. Im fact, I am shucking one this month. I credit a colleague I’ve not crossed paths with in a long time, Steve Dembo (he still has his own http://www.teach42.com/ sadly […]
Breaking with the usual long winding blogging, let’s go directly to the demo. What was once a hand spun web site with some funky, no longer plugin called Cool Iris then a template-tweaked WordPress site with a google form to collect stories, is now, an open collection available to take stories in video, audio, or […]
All of my web work from 1992-2006 at the Maricopa Community Colleges was wiped from the web after I left. It was big pile of stuff for sure but it was the first of several experiences which informed me that institutions care about preserving the web much less than individuals. But when I left that […]
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 […]
