Like a breath of fresh air comes the human created, not machine text extruded, words of Jay Hoffman’s post on The Free Web. That’s the thoughts of someone pounded out on keys, on an individual owned and managed web site, something I do not have to scrape through ads and pop overs to read. Fresh. […]
Punful titles for $200, Alec. What is the word to describe when something tastes really, really good? Savor the question. And get ready for more dusty old web era meandering. I’m writing about maybe one of the oldest web 2.0 (can I even use that phrase without sounding out of fashion) concepts- bookmarking web sites […]
Cut to the scene of “On the Bloggerfront” where in a taxi, a tired old blog post sits dejected next to its former friend, Google, looking smug and dapper in an overcoat: Google: Look, kid, I — how many readers you got, Slick? When you posted one hundred and sixty-eight times in a month you […]
Composed while offline 14 hours on a trans pacific flight… While I playfully gasta-cated at OER24 for folks to put on the Get Federated t-shirt, I knew then and more now that it’s not going to be for everyone. “It’s too complicated reigns”. Where to Go? Hence the ongoing gnashing of “where to be”? The […]
Hey, it’s been a while. As if anyone but me noticed. But yikes, the blog-o-meter slowed down to 1 ppm. All the social media wrangling of “where to be” online, and maybe some forgetting (self-included) that the first stop is right at home, the front step. Blogging about blogging, blogging about not blogging, always works. […]
I’ve not made much noise about traveling, but for what its worth I am in Brisbane, Australia where my organization is hosting the OEGlobal24 conference. I have skipped the long flight, the cute koalas, to try and quickly publish something that for weeks has felt like a mad idea. With a bit of virtual duct […]
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 […]
Growing up on the east coast of the U.S. (Baltimore, Maryland), I knew nothing of Northern Lights. Perhaps there was a blip in a science class, or maybe a glorious National Geographic photo. Nor was it anything I experience after I moved to Arizona. But when I had that wild opportunity in November 2008 to […]
Countless are the posts of people showing off the “coolest” AI thing, using Google’s NotebookLLM to generate a chatty podcast of your uploaded book, blog post, paper, shopping list. Woah. Wow. You click and listen hearing a male and female voice banter back and forth in conversational tone. Neato, you are so onto this AI […]
A lot of presentation slides just slide on by. They just keep flowing. Next slide. Next presentation. Next gushing about AI solving… oops, not this post. Yet, every other once in a while, you hear a talk, indeed the kind that a person speaks, not just reads, that well shatters your status quo. That was […]
