I’m hard on my laptop keyboard. That photo is my 3 year old MacBook Pro. Gone are e-r-t-i-o-a-s-h-n plus the Shift key and space bar are showing fatigue. You will see similar patterns on my older 2009 one, and the one before that I managed to crack the shift key. Several people at the Creative […]

If you are attending the NMC 2017 Summer Conference in Boston, I have a media/fake factoid challenge for you. By taking it on you can finally solve a vexing (what I believe is a) chimerical myth. And you can win CASH money. I have been chasing down this media myth since 2012, the oft repeated, […]
Warning: possible technical jargon will follow, all efforts are being made to keep it to a minimum.

An issue on a site leads to a solution that almost no one besides me can figure out, so we go at it again. Now there is happiness (infer). One of the more confusing aspects of running WordPress as multi-site is the meaning of the role of Administrator. On a self-hosted single WordPress site, as […]
I’ve had loose shoe laces all my life. For a number of years I never even tied my tennis shoes, wearing them like slippers. I lost count how many friends. stranges would make a point to ask, “Did you know your shoes are untied?” I have a memory as a kid, maybe 4 or 5, […]
