If you create content in any system, you likely have ways of organizing them into, say WordPress Categories. This is nothing new under the sun. But the typical organization is rather tree like, creating links to drill down, then out. There is an alternative interface, you have likely seen it. I’m not sure what the […]
I saw Martin Weller’s tweet out for a randomizing text generator: He got lots of replies (which is what make twitter useful when often it can not be), though many were just offering tools, not necessarily web producing ones (cough Excel). Were I not busy with other tasks Sunday, I would have liked to not […]
As the second part of a series of posts about a leadership model web site created for project managed at JIBC, this one is about some of the early interface explorations I dabbled with. In the first post, I laid ground for the map metaphor for leadership, there would be three “regions” corresponding to the […]
It’s time I back blog on a project I have been dabbling on since April. There is a WordPress site to be shared soon, but this is part of a new series of posts about the development (because I did not do it as I worked, I fell off of the narrate your work train). […]
This dog’s head has been deep in code in preparation of what I see as a next big step for SPLOTs… (update as this post lingered in draft, the plugin is out and about, please test, please. Please). Usually I toss a lot of technical discoveries into a full post; but as an active reader […]
Sometimes a SPLOT just needs a little more kick. Well maybe, but I do have a working project with an interest in using the SPLOTbox in a case where the media is from much lesser known site on the other side of the world. I could have just tossed this in as a new case […]
I cannot say I have the itch to glitch, but have always dug the kinds of things my colleague John Johnston does with adding glitch effects to digital stuff. But one link leads to another, and an idea sparks, and then next thing you have been dabbling a bit long, it’s been an unknown amount […]
Not everyone is up to running a daily _________ kind of site (like the original DS106 Daily Create). It’s a tough pace! So now you can make it Every Other Day or heck, even Weekly. This was out of my own need, there you go. I’m running two of these sites now, a Daily Digital […]
Although I have used GitHub regularly for a few years, it remains mostly to me a Rube Goldberg like machine, I still get push and pull interchanged, and frequently munge up commits. This matters less for my code, where basically I am the only developer. Something like the WordPress JetPack code is a different beast […]
Do you remember the scene of Web Apocalypse Not Now where Lieutenant Colonel Bill Feedmore boasts, “I love the smell of an RSS feed in the morning!” I hope not. But tinkering with RSS never tires, the technology that is always declared dead, but just keeps working. A current project I am doing with Gardner […]
