I always did this as a kid on the beaches of Ocean City, Maryland. I would use my shovels and plastic containers to build some kind of sand castle with big walls and a deep moat. I would place them just out of reach of the water in low tide, and the game was to […]
This month in digital cleanup is taking a broom to a pile of domains that have accumulated a not so tidy pile. I can’t full explain why i needed a cogdog.casa domain some ____ years ago? I had some rationale. In today’s fast-paced world, it is important to note that I will delve into showcasing […]
Sadly link rot is a growth industry. Most every effort these days of looking things up to find references ends up with a visit to the Wayback Machine. If that is not in your web tool belt, you are missing out. In combing through my own rubble pile of posts here, I nearly always come […]
Oi, I have many a blog draft bouncing in the brain to recap last week’s outstanding Reclaim Open Conference– if you missed out pretty much of the activity and sessions is sitting there openly for you to rewild your ideas. Ideally I would have had this post done prior to my Small Piecers Still Loosely […]
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.

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 […]
