Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
Maybe I just keep cranking out the copy web sites. If you invite me on to aproject chances are I will make a case to do something derivative of DS106 — maybe it’s blog aggregation or some kind of bank. But the one I love the most is introducing the Daily Blank, a WordPress theme […]
Beyond photos and dog walks, maybe the most enjoyable thing I do away from the keyboard is working in my yard, my 1/3 of an acre of land. I have done a lot this year after expanding the fence to the whole tard, making stone walkways, “wee walls” and new leveled out areas for plants […]
I’m home yesterday from an almost month-long road trip sojourn up and down a bunch of western states, covering some 3600+ miles in the mighty Red Dog truck, with Felix my co-pilot. By far, driving is my favorite mode of travel, especially when I can drive non-interstate roads and camp along the way. Even in […]
For my newest next (unblogged) project happening all too soon, I am helping an organization in a project where educators most likely new to the concept will be setting up a Domain of Their Own (yes, of course, supported via Reclaim Hosting). And as many know, the result of people’s first peek at cpanel is […]
If all goes well with the mechanics of scheduled posts, by the time this one reaches the front page of this blog, Felix and I will be well on our way. Where? A few places, but mainly just on the road. About 6 years ago I posted too of a longer trip, with a first […]
Here I share an idea for a Fall course that has almost no substance yet, but at least it has a hashtag 😉 This is all a direct consequence of the collaboration between me and Mia Zamora in running the open Networked Narratives course at Kean University where I co-taught and got to know brilliant […]
Maybe you missed the kerfuffle. As kerfuffles should be missed. Unsplash dropped their use of CC0 on all those gorgeous photos on their site then Creative Commons fired back in response. This is a classic example of what I was trying to argue / suggest about so much focus on the opposite end of Creative […]
I’m quickly drafting a unit for the Creative Commons Certification on “Legal vs Technical Openness”. This is to address the difference between something that is shared according to license language but is not quite re-usable because of the file formats things are shared under. e.g. proprietary software ones, ones that may not have a long […]
What’s the name when a simple expression or word in someone else’s writings triggers a cascade of thoughts, related and tangential? This happened when reading Maha Bali’s rich party-hosting metaphor in Lines Not Drawn – and Invitations of Sailors #digciz. I skip most of her post (well I did read it all) her description of […]
Fatherless Father’s days, round 16. Of course I do have a father, I just can’t call him on the phone as I last did in 2011. I can still write, and think, and remember. I continue to come across small things of his that I have in my home, or my tool shed. Those two […]
