Oh noes! A favorite thing was broken today. The subject or object of a number of posts here I think of as the Opener of Glorious Rabbit Holes is the Library of Congress Free to Use Browser Extension. Each time I open a new tab in my browser (like 50 times a day), rather than […]
I had a tab open for months (no one paid it off) (no a browser tab) in the vein of ones about shaping technology (insert a Tom Woodward style footnote that goes to his blog). What am I babbling about? It’s a way of using technology working within its abilities to shape it to do […]
In a fit of desperate desire to not be awash in social media slush of the twitter muskification as explained via ChatGPT, I am resorting to perhaps the worst blog post title since… (searching them all in vain) ever. Yes, to be honest yesterday’s foray into coding some means to extend what WordPress could do […]
Oh WordPress, how I love the, let me count the ways… well one of the ways is the ease of embedding all kinds of media sources just with a simple URL. I am surprised seeing so often authors on WordPress sites adding a link to a YouTube video, when it is even simpler to embed […]
Taking the green pill, as all the crowd is doing. I have stuff to write about Mastodon, but for now, I am trying to figure something out — is there a way to extend the capability of the DS106 Daily Create (TDC) to include participation from Mastodon.

Or don’t. I always forgot about this domain, but smile when I see the renewal notice from Reclaim Hosting. They gave it to me in 2014 as a twitter contest to pick a novel vanity name.

I must get a dozen or two emails a week from so-called SEO experts asking if I want guest posts or will insert their clients link in my site. So I almost too quickly read this one from Emma at TasteWP: I have a cool WordPress tip for you! I see that you’re linking to […]
My speed of blogging is one of those limit curves approaching a large stretch of time. But hey, no one really notices but me. I thought I had not even written up this first fun tool I made, to make it possible to generate a random mixture of different voices, reading the same text, done […]
One tweet somehow manages to send me off to the web experimentation rabbit hole for building a new gizmo. But the bigger lesson is that knowing how to read, edit, and modify URL parameters can give you the power over the algorithmic lords. From One Tweet… I managed to just click this out of curiosity […]
As many of the blog posts here blabber on about, I rather enjoying both figuring out web tech solutions thought often, given my internet- and self-taught skillset, I end of more often than not fixing my own stuff, ongoing. This happened recently after being excited to blog about my latest bookmarklet tinkering. I tend to […]
