Much puzzlement happens in setting up syndicated hub web sites with Feed WordPress, and one of the main tripping points is dealing with featured images. In many modern WordPress themes, these are what are used to generate those nice pretty front pages of sites, where each post is represented by a photo/image, or used to […]
I’ve been enjoying listening to more doses of classic Ike and Tina Turner funk and R&B; these are in my collection thanks to @easegill sharing me his entire South Pacific music library when I visited New Zealand in 2015. This one song came on today that really caught my attention with it’s groove: (It has […]
Yikes, there he goes again blogging about attribution. Yeah. It is a frequent topic here. Sometime a little around a year ago (my searching through my backlog of posts pins it to early December 2014), I started added a photo credit to the bottom of my blog posts. I had noticed that with the featured […]
I JUST FINISHED READING A BOOK? Can I get a badge? As much as I enjoy reading, I am a pathetic xMOOC-like reader- I keep signing up and rarely complete. I have at least 3 books on a table at home with a bookmark in the middle, and on my various apps, at least 5 […]
I was not going to do today’s DS106 Daily Create task to add a modern context caption to a Frederic Remington painting: I had already done the one that appears there. But I am just sipping coffee, and in much less time than this blog post will take, I made a simple meme image (I […]
This is a pondering not a promise.

OMG, the working conditions I have this month (/me ducks)… no that is my afternoon on Sunday at the beach I can walk to from the Sagrado campus (Sunday morning was spent working on web sites, ok?) Seriously, it is full on weekdays and evening prep in the first 1 days here. So far I […]
I have been asked to do a faculty workshop a week from Friday, where they more or less asked for “cool web stuff” (not quite what I did for students last week). The working title (because I Do Not Start Work Until I Have a Title) is “Silly / Useful Web Tricks”. This name is […]

(help us make an #oer16 promo poster) ((calling #ds106)) https://t.co/znKl9N8dPr — OER Open Education Conference (@OERConf) February 10, 2016 Of course a response needs to be made The #oer16 conference sent a #ds106 Bat Signal for poster design help… now an […]
This was my second open talk for students at Universidad del Sagrado Corazón — they are giving me free range for topics, so I chose to take them below the surface of the Facebook Pond to look at the world of catfishing. I was impressed with how many students knew the term (they knew it […]
