Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
Dumb idea. Why did this little worm crawl in my head today? New silly idea brewing for a cover song that mocks moocs… — Alan Levine (@cogdog) June 1, 2015 Someone was tweeting about the end of an open course. I have this thing about talking about the finality of something. Some things should end. […]
My long term infatuation with flickr may be my undoing… (skipping past the gripes about flickr’s design changes) (also skipping past whatever monkey goo that Google is offering for your photos) (anything else?). To me, what’s more important about flickr is what you do not see on the site or the (still partly crippled) mobile […]
Those people on the east coast were tweeting early, before I even rolled open my eyes, but this caught my attention: My website in a Dropbox cc @twoodwar @timmmmyboy http://t.co/hZUrdB7PaE — Gardner Campbell (@GardnerCampbell) May 30, 2015 Dave Winer created this interesting PagePark thing, if I grok it correctly, it’s a bunch of standalone files […]

I did not ask for little stickers on my fruit. I do not want to eat little stickers on my fruit. I spend time peeling off little stickers on my fruit. I toss in my trash those little stickers on my fruit. Those little stickers on my fruit do not grow there. Someone working minimum […]
That photo looks a little like me, but that is my grandfather, who passed away 59 years ago today. I can picture that framed image as it was in the wood paneled basement of the house I grew up in Baltimore. It sat in a space on a wall of bookshelves, sitting above the old […]
In my workshops and materials on finding images licensed for reuse, I do explain how google image search can be used to filter out results that are licensed for reuse. I use this quite often myself, in fact I recommend making a browser search shortcut to make this easy to do. But be wary of […]
This happened at the happy hour Tuesday after being at the Maricopa Teaching With Technology Conference. Across a noisy table, Bill Farrar posed an inquisitive question my way.
