I admit it- the web has ruined my ability to read long papers. Okay, that is a cop out. But like conference presentations that are 90% background and bullets, in reading published papers, I get the twitch very quickly if I cannot find the concrete, the stuff I can see, touch, click, feel, experience. Hence […]
Be giving away everything I’ve tossed on to the web for not only free, but without really any requirements, I have mastered opposite of a knack for web entrepreneurship. I refuse to use that word that turns money into a verb than a longer noun. Here is my latest version of un-capitalistic strategies This is […]
Podcasting, it’s still a thing, eh? Everyone is doing them, posting them in their substa– no not everyone. But to play my old man internet card, I was rambling Podcasting Schmodcasting back when the people who would spin out the bird site were deep into making Odeo. I was recording with that bubble gum pack […]
I can’t use my favorite words “share” and “open” too much, though these days… well, I will skip the droll comments. There, its twice in the title. This post started and is mostly (at least when I start writing, I tend to wander) about sharing [openly] a very nifty service / feature / tool for […]

There’s more to the Fediverse than trying to rejig your foregone twitter experience into Mastodon, indeed it is a party of distributed platforms. Given my love of photos, I’ve been casually exploring Pixelfed, the platform for photo sharing. Not that I will ever tear away from my firm flickr love, but I was curious to […]
My blog draft is up in the old grey matter, and I can’t seem to start typing in this box (not a prompt one) until I have a metaphor image and a title. Hardly efficient. I have done that. Just because it is 2023 and I loathe doing this, I asked the weakest LLM (free […]
I’m playing with words. As usual. I ain’t no chat ai thing just a frail human. “Right” here is not in the sense of correct or justified (although someone on the internet might be correct at this very moment), but right as plugged in to its essence, the original wizards staying up late sense, as […]
I actually am not ready to blab about the Twitterpocalypse- instead I am experimenting with a “toot” from Brian Bennett, who I have been path crossing (pre-Twitter)? via ds106. I remembered there was once a JavaScript bookmarklet for quick posting built into WordPress… it’s not in core anymore, but available as a WordPress Plugin Once […]
