Almost more than anything on the internet, I love Flickr. Weird, eh? Maybe one of the first media sources to full embrace and integrate Creative Commons licensing, Flickr is not only the main place for sharing my own photos but also the place I usually dip into first for finding photos shared under open licenses […]
This was just another one of those stories where someone made use of one of my public domain flickr photos shared under CC0. If you follow the typical convention as taught in those woekshops, this means you can use an image, and not even need to give credit. Just grab and go. But that’s what […]
SPLOTs. Who can’t get enough of them? Most of the internet, I am sure. It’s been a while, aka five years, since I cued up Cher and Whats His Name for that funky toe tapping beat. It’s been literally years since I touched the WordPress themes that power SPLOTs. Yet weirdly, and with all the […]

Strap your self in for another wild old crazy link tour, real audio echoes from the web past, and an anomaly of a free web storytelling tool that not only is around after a start 8 years ago, but quite useful. This web rabbit hole goes deep, deep, deep, including some browser source inspection of […]

I’m just over the wild and fun rush of organizing the strings and gizmos for last week’s Open Education Week including my own self inflicted plan to organize 12+ live streamed un structured open conversations (10+ hours worth). In many places and one particular where the questions along that lines of “where do we go […]
One major branch of my family loses a key limb yet many more now are now connected, growing. On Saturday, I made the journey down to that trouble some country that a one time was united, to drop into home town Baltimore to be a my Aunt Dorothy’s funeral. She was the last living of […]
A three line title! There you go. I’ve written a few times about a favorite web diversion/excursion, triggered by a 6+ year old browser tool that does something magical. Think of how many times you open a new browser tab/window. What is there? White space? A few logos or thing the browser maker wants to […]
Gotta love a spontaneous series of posts. This began with Bryan Alexander sharing his late 2024 podcast listening habits -kudos for both his non-diminishing blogs style and attributed reuse photos, sometimes mine.
