Stop being a pawn of third party web hosts who only care to use your content for their own gains.
Hey, it’s a tiny post, just like 2004 days. Short. Sweet. If you are actually reading this post, not just clicking a like button, you hopefully notice a bit more “zip” to it? Like a purring sports car engine. Like… …being now hosted in Reclaim Cloud. It was maybe a year or more ago, when […]
For reasons to be seen soon, I am tending to some domain cleanup. Okay, I am moving this blog from shared Reclaim hosting to their cloud hosting. Over 20+ years with this tank/barge a lot of stuff has piled up that can be better left in a quieter corner. Mainly it’s because for at least […]
Today I am wearing my Get Federated t-shirt as my attire as a guest on an Open Education Week panel on “Where are OER conversations happening anymore?” I sing of a Bridge over some kind of waters: Oh, social media gets brokenAnd followers just can’t be foundLike a bridgy over federated networksI will connect me […]
The humble hyperlink, ever it be so unassuming humble. Click here! It’s an invention, a pending adventure, for me, a potential distraction of the better than the machinery of social media attention sucking.

I’m easy to toss shade at web sites who move/ change structures leaving swaths of linkrot or just do not flex their power of maintaining their own links. But in the pot name calling kettle department, I’ve got plenty of bad links under my name. So I get focussed on fixing them. One came to […]
Oh my, the Ai sauce is oozing from Google’s search, for which many are predicting the Fu of Google Search is gone. Yeah, it’s a mess, but frankly, I still have my fleet of hone bookmarklet gizmos and customized search engines that I still get effective use out of. Quite a few of the wrenches […]
There is a myth. Cue the string section. That there was once a place for all to gather, share, be festive, develop new connections, every course a hashtag, topple a few governments, people power. Then came an evil billionaire who ruined it all, those who gathered were cast out, a diaspora. No end. Yes the […]
More in the little web joys of selk tinkering. Rewards you never get by pouring your houghts into some packaged medium sized substack of a LinkedIn space. Self-stylin; as it were. Way back in the pre lock down era of January 2020 I added a little bit of CSS to this blog thang that put […]
