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. Needed steps would be: Create a Tooting account […]
“Does Alan only blog these days about Creative Commons images?” It. Seems. That. Way. But it’s a break from SPLOT, SPLOT, SPLOT. But look, for this one you get a tool out of the deal, here it is before you have to wade through all my type-ridden, long-winded, whinge tinged verbiage. Because it’s been around […]
I have been lazy in not getting into the IndieWeb game here, but look who is catching up! I activate the Activity Pub plugin but no idea how it knows who I am in Mastodon- this post gave me the clue that is not listed elsewhere- in my WordPress profile at the bottom is a […]
I’m still quite on the toe of the learning curve with the DJI Mini 2 drone I got for a gift a few months back (thanks Andy Rush for the recommend). The video quality is stunning, and we are using it to get high and wide views of our acreage. My navigation needs practice though […]

For whatever neurocognitive reason ideas just linger on the periphery of my mind, fading in, fading out, but maybe just waiting for the right moment. As typical, I start writing the backstory and the process and the development of something I made, then bunches of code tossed in, before you even see it. In the […]
Just using those words in the title sends the warning flag that this is a grey bearded old man of the internet post. So the idea of connecting together independent bits of the web to do something useful might by yelling at a cloud (or The Cloud), but damnit, it all works for me. Sit […]
While my stint for BCcampus operating the H5P Kitchen has passed, I am still very interested in H5P as an open education platform. I did a short open discussion (aka free form) this week for Simon Fraser University, and spied a new H5P project over at MERLOT and was interested to see an H5P Studio […]
The audience who appreciates a subtle reference to recursion, a machine that makes machines, or going meta about something meta is sized down there maybe in the single digits… of one hand. Oh well, if anything I write to amuse myself. Insert laughter. So speaking of turning on a machine of productivity, Martin Weller is […]
