I knew my photos from the Gopher Hole Museum would come in handy one day! Blame D’Arcy Norman, he sent me there. Advanced warning of a long scrolling post with lots of screenshots and smattering of technobabble. One of the project-ish things on my table here at TRU is an idea hatched with Brian Lamb […]
I can trace a path from what we are trying to generate via Connected Courses back to my work creating syndicated courses to ds106 to early work at UMW Blogs all the way back to one dedicated writing teacher at Middlebury College who devised what may have been the first syndicated course. Barbara Ganley has […]

I’m feeling some restless urging for a new WordPress theming here. Checking my changelog it’s been almost five years since I changed things up (for which I received plenty of Jim […]

Many of my best friends are reclaimers. Boone is so hip he went to a dumb phone. Tim sez Ghost is better for blogging than wordpress *ASTERISK if you can get used to writing in Markdown. I mock not maybe a little– I respect these folks and their taking a stand. I’m trying to better […]
Of all the creative assignments from DS106 (of which there are more than 730, that is so un-massive) maybe my favorites are the re-edits of movie posters. If any institution ever wanted a class taught in remixing old movie posters… well contact me, ok? I can talk about the many layers of these creative tasks, […]

Mostly this blog has no trouble squirting out quarter-baked thoughts; this one has been more… constipated. Same result. Here goes.
