Never underestimate the potential outcomes and echoes of a shot from the hip, mostly uninformed blog post. A few clicks back I blogged some thoughts, questions, and over generalizations on Seeking Evidence of Badge Evidence. To be honest, I looked only at a scant handful of badges, and was a tad dis-appointed in those that, […]
Last month I managed to clean off two partly read books, now I am moving on to a book I really have enjoyed, but has been sitting, partly read, on my coffee table, Jill Lepore’s Secret History of Wonder Woman I got the book last June, when I was getting ready for a project visit […]
When I hear folks in my stream sharing stuff for Open Education Week, my inner cynic wonders what they do the rest of the year. Or speculate a world where we do not have to draw attention in this way to Openness. I get it. The whole idea is to raise awareness, and most of […]
I think it was Mariana Funes that share what I think is one of the best GIF’s I’ve seen pic.twitter.com/S9wtnaYs8M — Amy Hoy (@amyhoy) March 10, 2016 There is so much to like about this play on the final shoot out scene from The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly– the unexpected insert of the […]
I’ve been playing a tiny tiny miniscule game with tweets of no context with the tag #count6 4,15,46,57,70,85 #count6 — Alan Levine (@cogdog) February 28, 2016 Yes, it is fun to see who pays attention (nods to @DrScherf and @twoodwar) but actually I just wanted to have some time stamps for the things I was […]

In my last six weeks of travel, and right now sitting in an airport terminal, I noticed how much I am surrounded by people hunched over their phones. In the airport. In restaurants. On the beach. On the beach. On the beach! I bet all those people hunched over their phones in public think, "I'm […]
It’s quite possible I finished four books this month; two may have been started in January, but four in a month is a recent record for me in finishing. Both of these books I bought as part of my interest in westerns and #western106. While both are in the range of western genres, they could […]
Malle Gottfried’s Facebook account, active since November 2015, supposedly of New York City, passed away March 5, 2016 in the anonymous vacuum of reason called Enforcement of Facebook Community Standards. Visitation is not possible and only an ambiguous message of account unavailability remains. Malle supposedly was born in San Salvador. After losing his parents early […]
Most people will never need such a thing in a WordPress site, but outside the boxes of blogging, where WordPress is a Swiss Army Knife, there are situations where you need to run a script or do something on a regular interval.
