Here is another one of those small winding internet trails I found myself on without anticipating of it. Back of the mind, this leads me to wonder about highly structured learning __________ systems, where everything is precisely detailed and specified, and leaves no room for wandering off trail. But that’s another post. Or not. This […]
I will project I spent more time remixing the featured image for this post than writing it, but the reward of both is something I can likely never fully explain. It was the best of software, it was the worst of software, it was the age of the metaverse, it was the age of foolishness, […]
The audience who appreciates a subtle reference to recursion, a machine that makes machines, or going meta about something meta is sized down there maybe in the single digits… of one hand. Oh well, if anything I write to amuse myself. Insert laughter. So speaking of turning on a machine of productivity, Martin Weller is […]
Mmmmm memes. I love that I do not have to explain them. Yet there’s much more to just passing them around or responding to someone’s tweet/email/text message with one you yank off the web. I’ve tried to make the case that there is a use for silly media (and again). We put them to use […]
I’m allowed to shame myself here, right? It’s my blog, my domain, hell yeah! By my own and flickr’s reckoning, this is the 14th year of my daily photo posting habit. It does amuse myself that the flickr feature of collections, meaning a group of albums of photos (which is meta meta) is not anywhere […]
That’s a total clickbait title. Or maybe more cleverly, mis-direction. To me that is one of the key elements of storytelling, the hook, the draw into something, the nibble taste that makes you want more. So no, I have no truths to tell/sell you about education. It’s more about what I got from an episode […]
I am composing this in the way the ancient ones blogged. Archaically, pen to paper. Content-wise, nothing is different than writing here in WordPress, it’s just a jumble of words. In what I conjure as an annual semi-tradition (i have convinced myself I have done this before, now that I think of it, last year’s […]
I’ve already written this blog post! Shall I cite myself, ibid infinitum? But just to show as an example, in my previous post I was able to reference the 2018 Mural UDG Project I was part of. A few days ago that was not possible, and also on the digital chopping block was years of […]
What could be better news that Kirby Ferguson is launching a new wave of Everything is a Remix? Even if I do feel old seeing Tik Tok (I’m not there, but I get it) (that of course cannot be true) (except for being old). What happens when something you created long ago gets peeled back […]
Note: It’s rare around this blog that something lingers in draft as long as this post. There is a reason for everything, right? But this one needs to get squeezed out of the Easy Blog Oven for another one to follow. The very same desire I heard in my first week (1992) as an instructional […]
