Here I go again. That darn crazy internet. One link catches sparkles my curiosity. I’ll just click and peek. I swear I won’t get distracted and start looking things up in weird archive. Just one more click… Two hours later I emerge from the rabbit hole smiling. And later I go back to where I […]
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 […]
Stay with me intrepid, devoted, or robotic scraping readers. I’ve got an associative trails journey to lay out here, all of which is made possible by the free, open web, the people who build onto it chunk by chunk, and the sheer joy of exploration. A highlight for me from last month’s OEGlobal 2024 Conference […]
Here we go. Again. That old web magic is still there, the stuff I lump as web serendipity, what happens when unexpectedly, something tickles the curiosity, it leads to something else, lather, rinse, repeat. It’s my variety of Vannevar Bush’s associative trails, what I like to play with the title “As We May Link”, especially […]
I have a problem. Last week, instead of investigating an issue with one of my project platforms, I was exploring via Google Streetview a town in British Columbia verifying that photos of certain mysterious creatures inexplicably had their faces blurred by Uncle Google’s algorithms. In an upcoming “thing” in a few weeks I hope to […]
January 1 was not only the day that relieved us of 2020, but also a celebration of works entering the Public Domain so works published in 1925 are finally available to all (celebrating that it takes 95 freaking Sonny Bono years to make this happen is bittersweet). I have a several times a day ceremony […]
I’m finding an interesting hyperlinking experience without any hyperlinks, from all things, a printed book. The idea of linking ideas is not limited by stuff you can wrap in an <a href="….">…</a> tag. The book I am just starting is Jill Lepore’s The Secret History of Wonder Woman. I was somewhat clued to the book […]
creative commons licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by xJason.Rogersx Does anyone set out to go down such a hole? It all started because Matt Rafalow contacted me- he was hoping to use medium.com to publish his work for Connected Courses. Simple, I thought. I knew medium publishes RSS feeds for user accounts. RSS […]
Is the background music “Let’s get metaphysical” ? Nah, Just playing my own name game. I had to refrain from writing what is in the vein of declaration of blue as the sky color, but indeed “I like podcasts”. And I mean listening to them. My time for doing this in while driving, often on […]
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 […]
