Now who the bleep is generating my titles? Oh (spotting a mirror). This was a bit of sideways fun, but come to appreciate a bit of likely Google actually goodness woven into my blog. Hang on, there’s a story. After the last post (I know you all read it!) on the good old MOOOOOOOOC machine […]
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 […]
It’s one thing to mutter promises of being back, it’s quite another to actually do it. Through an unlikely path (again), I have finally managed to resurrect the wall of media web presentation tool I ran with for a long while, that which was once known as CoolIris. This was something I fleshed out first […]
So I am listening to Dave Winer talk about WordPress and The fediverse, and just had to try Wordland and I am now using it to write a post— it’s gonna happen! What happens next? Is it perfectly imperfect?
Like Archimedes never said, “Give me a Javascript Bookmarklet short enough and a browser bar on which to place it, and I shall jump over the web world’s paywalls.” I blabbed recently about the extraordinary story and service (archive.today) created by an elusive figure that lets you easily jump the paywall. It includes what i […]
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 […]
For all the eager fans (perhaps that is singular) looking for the latest video from the dog drone in the sky, CogDogDrone, we had scheduled a spring flight to take the first overview of the land since the winter. However, we had technical difficulties (aka, a pilot over-estimating skills to fly through a barn). There […]
I get a little grumpy when I open a new browser tab and am not greeted by a random public domain image from the Library of Congress. It’s like someone taking a knife to my IV drip of small joys. This is enabled by a little gizmo I have taken under my tech wing, the […]
Likely a mis-applied generalization, but in a few different education spheres I am sensing that both the overload of new tech and the adoption of pre-built systems are contributing to a decline in the will/awareness to look being what an interface presents us. Thus the shiny front allure of GenAI to vibe the work for […]
The days of lamenting linkrot seem quaint and prosaic. Right now, as I type, the world is witnessing the wholesale strip mine clearcutting of the web for the ego-flexing kicks of the lunatic in charge. Not many of us can do much as individuals (besides feel the musky stench weight) but luckily many Good People […]
