I’m reading a book right now. You know the interface design? A written work of ideas, printed to granular containers of text (called “pages”) with an intuitive navigation system. Yet I am thinking in the back of my mind the recent discussions a bunch of us are having about the History of Hypertext led by […]
“Hey, why should I be on the Internet?” “By the time I am in college, the internet will be our telephone..” “television…” “shopping centers…” “and workplace.” “And it’s already got more stuff on it than you can possible imagine.” Pretty obvious, right? You might be reading this on your phone at work. Gartner already charted […]
My idea for this remix is likely better than the execution. The FineBros has a brilliant series of Kids React videos where modern youth try to make sense of past culture, toys, and technology. They seem to average like 9 kazillion views per video; I’m lucky if I hit double digits. In some research for […]
Heading into a latter (not last, not ending, not over) phase of the You Show, in unit 5 we offer/ask participants to consider how they move a site that looks pretty bloggy into something that might be outwardly facing more […]
Let’s just do some arithmetic. Let’s say the average cost of attending a big conference is say, $1500 (~$400 airfare / travel related, ~$400 registration, ~ $400 hotel, ~$200 food, etc all subject to question where these came from).

Add to that sign… “NO STEALING OF ONLINE IMAGES.” In my hobbled opinion the problem about reuse of media is copyright. Duh. No not what you think; our framing of what one should use openly licensed content is nearly always […]
Yeah, those free web services that give you so much if you give them your content. A salute to 35 Dead Web Services. I could have added many kore, but I got tired. Who knows where the idea came from? Maybe it was some media making tool someone tweeted named after nuts. And I got […]
Most of the time it’s intentional, but I do not always plan to use a dog metaphor. It just happens. In setting up the trubox multisite as a place for You Show participants to start their blogs, I came up […]
On my 2013 visit to Hong Kong, my friend Nick and his wife Kelly took me on a trip to this place called Stanley. When we were going through the market, Kelly picked out a shirt for me; she said […]
