Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
It’s almost been two weeks since I brought home Felix, a two year old Australian Shepherd / Catahoula mix, from the Payson, AZ Human Society. My routines now are adjusted to walks, feeding, and giving attention. None of this is any kind of problem, this dog is so sweet and playful. I love him dearly. […]
Today Virtually Connecting hosted it’s one session at the OER16 Conference in Edinburgh. We typically would have done more, but Virtually Connecting has a pile of sessions at the overlapping OLCInnovate Conference. I leaped at the chance to host today’s one with keynoters Jim Groom and Catherine Cronin. Jim of course I have known and […]
So you think education is plagued by solutionism, evangelizing experts, and extreme viewpoints that make people choose camps– it’s nothing compared to the world of information about… dog training. Talk about voracious blog commenting and virtual rock tossing! My new sweet dog Felix has one major problem- he does not like being left alone. This […]
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 […]
Darn you Daily Create sending me down a creative rabbits hole. Thanks. And I’m responsible for today’s challenge #ds106 #dailycreate #tdc1552 It’s 4/8/16 Make Art to Celebrate the Power of the Number 4 https://t.co/hMegpYbuET pic.twitter.com/SW4CiurJfC — ds106 Daily Create (@ds106dc) April 8, 2016 I look for patterns in numbers, and while loading future Daily Creates […]
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 […]
