Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
I hope you enjoy this teaser for my presentation next week at the Open Education Conference: I could not help selecting the D’Arcy Norman Bigger Than Life glare for the freeze frame! These quotes from colleagues near and far were taken from the 34 longer interviews I collected for Amazing Stories of Openness, and the […]

I use the sucker almost every day. It takes what used to be about a 5 click, 4 copy/paste operation to give me, in one motion, the […]
After years of publishing snippets of HTML and PHP code in this blog, I’ve yet to find an elegant way to represent the code when published- there’s a bit of a trick, since you don’t want the HTML or PHP to do what it normally does. For a few years I have used the Preserve […]
One of my web hobbies is peeking at the source code of web pages– and I love it when you find something there that does not make the front page, and HTML Easter Egg if you will. I actually do this if I am trying to see how something was coded for a page or […]

I had not responded to their first […]
cc licensed flickr photo shared by crabchick There’s something afoot abut data. Whether it is Sir Tim’s vision of a Web of Data (or is it the W3C Linked Data?), there is something emerging with not only the availability of more data (heck even the government is on it http://www.data.gov) but more what we can […]

Yesterday’s addictive diversion was flipping through my old analog photo albums pulling photos to scan for Remembering Dominoe. But I missed another major back story part of the story. It was in 1986 when my room-mate Kevin […]
