Way back in the paleolithic web era (1994) on a visit to where I grew up in Baltimore, I made some audio recordings of my grandmother sharing stories of her life. These were recorded on a dictation microcasette, but as she had passed away in 2003, I’ve been very very pleased I captured her voice. […]
Today I pulled put the trowel and mortar mix for some work on the DS106 Assignment Bank WordPress theme, my pile of code and stuff so you can make a bank of anything (not just assignments) that works like the original DS106 Assignment Bank. I’ve got some reason as it looks like we might use […]
This photo got picked today for Flickr explore rather mind boggling for an iPhone pic sitting among so many stunning photos. The magic of explore is you cannot expect it, I thought maybe something was up when it showed 20 favorites this morning from people I do not know. And then shortly after I got […]
While I revel in the joy of life changed with the introduction of my newish dog Felix, my calendar bittersweetly reminds me today is the day 23 years ago I put down my first dog, Dominoe.

Perhaps it will never be used and / or no one really needs to know this technical minutiae, but I’m documenting as much as possible the work that will lead up to this Creative Commons Certificate. Yesterday I wrote up a bit of this duct taped system to collect via a Google Form resources as […]
On Monday night I tuned into opening day festivities of the 2016 Republican via the NPR Radio live broadcast. There’s been much (rightful) talk of plagiarism in the speeches, but the more I listened to the stories boomed over the microphone, the more I had a feeling that I had heard this all before. The […]
A key characteristic of the Creative Commons Certification project is a goal to, as much as possible, use openly licensed content and activities within the activities people will do to earn a certification. There is, of course, much material out there to explain, demonstrate, and help people learn about copyright, fair use, the public domain, […]
