Sometimes your own blogging can turn around and nip at ya. One of my favorite tags of posts has been moocmocking. Now I’m riding the train, gimme an “M”… That’s right, now my current project is helping eCampus Ontario run a new round of the Ontario Extend project, starting January 2019… as a mOOC (medium […]
Blogging about blogging is a repeated trope inside this blog and I’d bet commonly elsewhere. Why do it again? It seems appropriate for my last (and consistently late, but one of the things about blogging is making your own rules) of nine posts for the Ontario Extend 9x9x25 challenge. I actually realized I was more […]
Mystery numbers. It was a Lost thing, not lost on data fueled advertising. It was back in March 2016 I started noticing first the presence, than the patterned appearance of what Instagram calls “sponsored”, a fancy name for the kind of advertising that can be mistaken for content. I had a #count6 thing going, and […]
Yikes. Guess who is a week behind in 9x9x25 blogging. Good thing no one is keeping count. Right Terry? Mine was triggered by reading a 9x9x25 post by JR Dingwell, A different approach to the ‘video lecture’. Like JR, I’m not all that excited about video capture or lecture video: I mentioned that normally I […]
It won’t put much of a dent in the problematic aspects of the internet, but at least a reminder that it can still be that Wunderkammer, a cabinet of curiosities. Often without much thinking, in our web doings, we click the + button or more likely, command-T to open a new tab to do something. […]
Better than getting an A on the geometry test, it’s more exciting to use a magnet to attach Episode 218 of the Teaching in Higher Education podcast to the front of my fridge. I was excited when Bonni Stachowiak DM’ed me asking to record a session. I’ve seen a number of folks I know get […]
All this moaning and groaning of how bad, vile, deceptive, awful, broken the internet has become. Yeah parts are, but not all. Not all. Let me shed some alternative light your way. More than 10 years ago when I was building my collection of 50+ Web Ways to Tell Story (Wikispaces killed the site, but […]
Until yesterday I’ve been embarrassingly insecure about the security of my MacBookPro’s operating system. My friends in the field cringe when I confessed that on my 2013 machine I was still running the MacOS it came with, Mavericks. Part of it was that I heard friends mona about things lost on upgrades, and also, a […]
Webs are not just for http protocols. They are in life itself, invisible hyperlinks, maybe random generated coincidence. And once more, filed in the bulging web of serendipity tag pile on this blog is how I came to be at a screening of a brilliant documentary Do Not Bend: The Photographic Life of Bill Jay. […]
I keep suggesting to Felix that he should become the family breadwinner and pick up some modeling work. “Hey, someone should pay for all those Milkbones!” He just gives me that dismissive silent stare. 2018 sure seems the year that a lot of people are focused on how broken the internet is, as we wake […]
