Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
Drawing conclusions about human nature based upon a small spike in YouTube comments is maybe as questionable as predicting election results based on polls. But hey, this is my data! For a likely inexplicable reason, I have gotten a small burst of comments recently on one of my YouTube videos (a burst on my videos […]
People doing Bryan Alexander’s Blog Along Book Club reading of We Make the Road by Walking are already done chapter 3! I just made it to the end of the second one, but there was soemthing that jumped out at me towards the end, and that’s always something to pay attention to. (note: I am […]
I’m just emerging out of the internet hole. Stand back, this is Yet Another Post Laden With Nostalgia and a rally for self documentation. Feel free to go back to stroking through social media. It started with a silly tweet. Meaningless. Just word play. It's a fact that there are no facts. — Alan Levine […]
Even before knowing what the book was about, the title of “We Make the Road by Walking” (being run now by as a Bryan Alexander dispersed book club) intrigued me by its rich metaphor title. Sidebar: I’ll be tagging these posts hortonfreire after twitter hashtag of same name When I get to teach students who […]
No accounts, no logins, no personal information needed. It’s almost SPLOT-like, this zen-ish http://telegra.ph/. Almost nothing on the screen. There is no resemblance to some other mid-sized writing platform You can put your name on the author line or not. Once you publish, you can only edit while your session is active in the browser. […]

I’m still working through the adaption to TapeWrite of her telling them recorded in 1994. Another long ago memory came to me a few weeks ago, the taste of her thick split pea soup. As a […]
It does make a decent news story to announce the offering of a free, as in no cost to taxpayers, database of local photos for a city. https://twitter.com/ResearchBuzz/status/800020936380403713 “Freely Available” is… well ok. As told in the story from Albuquerque TV station KOB4: Stunning images of Albuquerque and surrounding areas aren’t hard to come by, […]
If you were born in a century beginning with a “19” then you likely have a box or two or twelve like I do in my closet. A box full of old photo albums, or boxes of print photos. All memories. All un-digitized. Or the better ones hanging on a wall, stuck inside glass. I’ve […]
I have been nursing a small, un-stated, un-announced, un=tweeted media project. It occurred to me that this is an interesting way of being creative. Just do something. Don’t make a splash. It’s a secret. Or it is a “recondite” project: This word has been in steady decline since it’s peak in 1850 Oh, yes, the […]
Like most internet rabbit holes, the opening door was innocuous. A colleague in a Slack channel made a cheery reference to something being like Jello (or Jell-O depending how you feel on product names as words). Jiggly, brightly colored, fun, playful jello. Almost by reflect, I was compelled to respond with a reference to how […]
