Easily voted Best Dog in The Universe, our dog Felix, now pushing 12 human years, gave us a wee scare recently. Breaking the patterns, he had not even come downstairs at dinner time. At bed time, he was laying on the floor, breathing abnormally deep, almost wheezing. He could not seem to lay his head […]
I remain unable to do presentation slides from templates. When they nust happen, out comes the cloak of sarcasm. For her graduate seminar Cori had to lead a session on Poststructualism. As we talked, it just became ironic to think of doing a linear progress of Bullet Point Slides. We jumped to a club concept […]
I’ve been pretty happy with my discovery of using archive.today as a means to jump and read stuff hidden behind subscription and paywalls even niftier with my bookmarklet tool. Knowing that its likely to be ripped down, I accepted it was to maybe be shortlived as Publishers have to bucks and the muscle, as reported […]
Welcome back to an old song around here, the ideas and ways of giving attribution when reusing the creative works of others. My approach is ABA, Always Be Attributing. The hyperlink is perhaps the simplest and easiest way, as perhaps it might be coined by some weirdo as “linktribution” (yet one more stillborn neologism). But […]
For no good reason have I been fiddling with a silly, old web site that has no bearing or real use beyond my own amusement. Can there be ever more a reason to domain your own web stuff? To do or not do what you wish? I’m not even sure why I even went looking […]
Sigh, it used to be an every day thing to not only do a DS106 Daily Create but blog how it was done (e.g. backtrack to 2017 on Shatnering a song). But given tomorrow’s Reclaim Open conference session celebrating the DS06 Daily Create at noon EST on “Remix is #4Life: We We all Love the […]
Today the Best Dog Ever* turns eleven or as Lorne Green would calculate “that’s 80 for you and me” — depending on your calculation. I always went with human years * 7 plus 3. I math digress. Felix is older but not old. I adopted him in April 2016 from the Humane Society in Payson, […]
Apparently writers with orders of magnitude more readers than I are penning saga length whinging rage posts about how terrible technology is. Oh they keep moving the buttons on me! Teams Sucks. Google Search is junk. Technology is terrible. I don’t counter the disgust of bad software interfaces (oh reminds me I have a post […]
Getting rid of crap is very satisfying. Especially large piles of stuff that maybe once had value, but now just reeks with the stench of rotting, wet discard food. Pressing the dump lever was quite easy. In fact, after dumping, I went on, and forgot that I had done this. Done what? It was actually […]
I feel father comfortable swimming in HTML and writing the stuff by hand (I thought at one time everyone would learn to write HTML). It never tops being refreshing to learn one more trick. This started with a Mastodon post by Bracken Mosbacker: It reminded me that I have many times in the last few […]
