Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
I should have known better. It was just 2 hours (plus blog post writing time) down the coding rabbit hole. Right now Ken Bauer is working on the Virtually Connecting blog post for the sessions they (me too) will run at the 2016 DML Conference. If you look at the announcements you will we create […]
A few weeks ago I shared some results of fixing a leaky faucet by using a choral explanation approach (nods to Mike Caulfield) when one looks at how to videos in YouTube. In that time I also thought that we deal with this very often when looking at say products on Amazon or almost any […]
I don’t need in-flight entertainment on a digital screen. On a flight from Phoenix to Seattle today (and on to Vancouver), seated in 30F, the window shade is up. My head is pressed against the window like a kid on his first flight ever. Other passengers are looking at device screens, books, sleeping, and nearly […]
None of the homes had fences in the suburban Baltimore neighborhood where I grew up. The kids ran freely from yard to the next. The C’s were a family around the corner, 3 boys, the middle Adam was a year younger than me. I spent a lot of time at playing at their house. They […]
There is less of me going around. I’m talking technically about mass, of which, as we recall from high school physics, combines with gravity to give as what we call weight. It’s not the gripping horror story Jim wrote about as The Shrinking Man. But I am closing in on being 20 pounds lighter since […]
I’m on R&R time visiting my good friend Mike in Durango. We both share a background in Geology but careers in technology, so we do tend to talk about geekery. When I showed up he gently teased that he had a project for me, and as it turns out, it was just the right size […]
Dear Mom and Dad, I knew August 27 was looming. It was not going to not get here. While walking the dog his morning I looked at the ground. And there it was. This blog post is being written on the 26th, scheduled to publish on the 27th, because I will be off camping in […]
I bought this little house in Strawberry, Arizona, in 2002 with my then wife as a vacation home when we lived in Scottsdale. Even now, as it was then, it’s staggering to think of the adult responsible idea of owning two homes. I’m sure it was one of our early trips up here, working outside […]
Sigh, I am again reaching into my past for a metaphor. But hey, this is my blog, my game board, and I get to do what I want. My older sister and I have always been a bit competitive in playing games. Harriet and I go head to head with each other in Words with […]
How much history do we know of the exact place we live? What was going on at the place your home is sitting, say 100, 200 years ago? We literally walk around on hidden histories, not seeing, not even knowing them. Through an unexpected series of events, tonight I found myself for maybe 2 or […]
