Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
My humble apologies- Two weeks ago I asked for recommendations for beach reading and got a great list— and I started one not on the list! I have a good reason- it was a Christmas present from one of my longest known best friends, who wrote inside of it: I hope you still find time […]
And here we go! ds106 is off the ground with week 1’s assignment, a post with typical Groomian oomph (‘this ain;t like your mama’s MOOC”). We are to do any kind of short story about something that happened recently. I was toying with some tech and came up with a half baked idea to try, […]

Now let me know when you do something academically valuable.” “Grow up.” “(I can’t do that, people will laugh).” With senseless violence becoming a sad norm, with the weight of a world dying of overheating or exterminating its own biosphere, […]
Almost as much as grey page backgrounds, under construction barricades, and nested HTML tables, few things define the web of the 1990s as the animated GIF.

Oh yawn, its that time of year when people start reflecting on their belly button lint and drawing out their highlights of 2010.

I’m cooking up a presentation for February I am calling (Not So Stupid) Browser Tricks – a ittle nod to Letterman’s shtick with pets. The premise is to show 10, maybe 12 things you can do with common web tools (or ones less well known) that do something, that, when you show someone else, would […]
