Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
Like many folks, I was interested in comic guru Nick Sousanis’s call for participation in a week of Grids and Gestures Quickly, have a look at your ceiling tiles or other grid-ish things around you. If you then imagine putting these features to music, you might have regular long notes on the tiles, some shorter […]
For as vast and fast expanding as it is, the web ends up being rather friable (that’s my geology vocabulary surfacing). All set off by a seemingly simple tweet by Rob Reynolds https://twitter.com/xplanarob/status/720697804969111553 It reminded me of a paper from a colleague I met way back in my own way back machine, back to my […]
Like a classic MOOC dropout artist, I’ve fallen so far off of my #western106 horse I can’t even see the dust any more. I had grand hopes of running a DS106 in a genre of Western films/stories. I was doing trailers back in October for a planned online class to teaching at Kansas State University, […]
That’s my new dog Felix, inside my fenced-in yard. The people at the Humane Society told me his owners left him alone in a backyard, and he had escaped several times by jumping the fence. The last time he jumped, his collar got stuck, and he was found hanging there. Brought to the shelter, and […]

I’ve been dog-less since 2008. There was extensive travel in those years and moderately extensive excuses not to have a dog. That phase is over as of today. Meet Felix, a 22 month old Australian Shepherd / Catahoula Leopard Dog mix. Yeah I had to look up that breed: Louisiana’s “hog dog” is a jambalaya […]
In my last long scroll post I went over the steps for forking and editing a silly GitHub page to mess with the lyrics of “Home on the Range.” That is like, so, not really useful. This one might not be either. But it could be fun. When you use a bookmarklet tool created with […]
Many are dismissive of nostalgia… until they have racked up a few years and have some to look back on. If that’s not your shtick, click on. In 1999 I was 7 years into my career as an instructional technologist at the Maricopa Community Colleges, working in a central office of faculty development for the […]
Long ago, long before the web, as a Geology student, I was on a trip to Los Angeles. On the return drive along I-10 I saw this billboard that read: Barry’s Bail Bonds: We’ll get You Out… Even if it Takes Us 20 Years! Why does this memory stay in my little brain some 30 […]
Late last May I was driving north from home when I saw a car coming down the hill with a prominent tower atop its roof; I was pretty sure it was a Google Streetview vehicle, but could no get my phone out of lock mode to take a photo, but I did the next best […]
