If you were born in a century beginning with a “19” then you likely have a box or two or twelve like I do in my closet. A box full of old photo albums, or boxes of print photos. All memories. All un-digitized. Or the better ones hanging on a wall, stuck inside glass. I’ve […]
We have a new community area for people interested in talking about the certification project. Creative Commons recently announced the opening of their new real time conversation place on Slack. It’s quite active and a bit easier to use then the existing IRC channel (though if you love IRC, the two spaces are now connected). […]
For the second time (first was in 2014) I have deleted my Facebook account. It ought to be the last, but as they say about saying “never”. My reactivation in 2015 was a need to have an account for a course project, then I had a few web sites for clients where I needed to […]
I have been nursing a small, un-stated, un-announced, un=tweeted media project. It occurred to me that this is an interesting way of being creative. Just do something. Don’t make a splash. It’s a secret. Or it is a “recondite” project: This word has been in steady decline since it’s peak in 1850 Oh, yes, the […]
I never wanted to live in the plot of a dystopian present, but as those stones sang (a song swiped by the Orange Chupacabra), I’m not getting what I want. For weeks Jon Becker pined for the day Is it November 8 yet? — Jon Becker (@jonbecker) September 12, 2016 The day looked, sounded like […]
Like most internet rabbit holes, the opening door was innocuous. A colleague in a Slack channel made a cheery reference to something being like Jello (or Jell-O depending how you feel on product names as words). Jiggly, brightly colored, fun, playful jello. Almost by reflect, I was compelled to respond with a reference to how […]
Does anyone talk about WordPress Trackbacks anymore? They were the glue of blogging in the day. If I wrote a blog post with a link to something on your WordPress blog, you would get a notification and a link on the post that went back to mine. Maybe as close as we got to two […]
This one issue 2016 comic novel has zero value, it will be lost behind the couch, forgotten, and tossed into the recycling bin. We have had enough of mythical creatures, right? Enough? What is El Orange Chupacabra? Check WikiFibia: El orange chupacabra or (English pronunciation: [t?upa?ka??as], literally “attention-sucker”; from “chupar”, “to suck”, and “cabra”, “goat […]
This could not be a more cool surprise to see in my twitters this morning, on all days, one of uncertainty. Hey @cogdog – thanks for supporting our Visual Stickery campaign. Here's a doodle just for you 🙂 https://t.co/W989urusbA pic.twitter.com/E3h7xJ5I3O — Bryan Mathers – @bryanmmathers (@BryanMMathers) November 8, 2016 This I am certain of, though, […]
Some stories, films end so neatly, clearly understandable, leaving me not much to wonder. Others are so dense, artsy, deep, complex, that I’m left stunned, shrug, and move on.
