Again I will spend more time writing up a blog post about some little thing I did than actually doing the little thing. Maybe it’s my vanity, or just trying to capture how I go about my work. It’s my blog and I can blog what I want… Sometimes I take these little self dares […]
I’m wrapping up my work with Colin Madland at Trinity Western University creating a collection of clonable WordPress sites with custom child themes intended for the electronic portfolios TWU is proving for 500+ new students. As an extra piece of this work, I created for their WordPress Multisite a Network Admin dashboard widget that counts […]
Speaking of HTML5 Up Themes I’ve folded into WordPress ones, I have to say my favorite might be WP Big Picture. Check out the demo site. It has the lush design of the original HTML5up theme, but what you get in the WordPress version is adding new sections merely by creating new posts, easily changing […]

I’ve been working on a prototype web site I was asked to do for Tannis Morgan at JIBC. Beyond getting into some new code tricks, the best part of this was how she first approached me on it. With a metaphor. Meet a “Constellection” – my portmanteau for a collection of web resources arranged like […]
I’ve been tweeting since January 2007 (and am infasionable not yet a Deleter). Big deal. For all the times I have crafted a tweet thinking it would put some ripples in the pond, or make commentary, I can say the sum results of all this is crickets. No biggie. So it gives me some smile, […]
Among my fleet of creaky old hand coded web sites like Feed2JS one of my favorite is the Five Card Flickr stories site that is just a few stories short of being 10 years old. I cannot even recall last time I checked in on it. A few days ago, I got this alert Howdy […]
In the minor fiddling with code that probably no one will notice department… I include the Daily Blank WordPress theme as a SPLOT since I worked on it early in the TRU fellowship where all the others were spawned. Yup, I blogged about it December 2, 2014. It was created to make a generic version […]
(there’s a quasi Beatles reference in that title) What would you do if my code spit an error? Would you stand up and tweet out to me? Send me an link and I’ll try to replicate I will try to fix it quickly. This is how stuff works. Someone I don’t know tweets about an […]
URL reading and deciphering skills, plus some brute force Javascript, had me two hours making an animation. These things get in my head and won’t let me rest until I spend a chunk of time in the rabbit holes. I entered this activity for yesterday’s Ontario Extend, a spawn of the DS106 Daily Create that […]
