There might be some value in my sloppy keyboarding skills beyond humorous typos and misplaced punctuation that drives Sandy Brown Jensen batty. I just mistyped a WordPress URL and cracked a lid on something. I even forget know why I was looking at the WordPress Settings on a project site, maybe I was checking something […]
How much does it really cost to provide cellular data access? And in providing it as a service in other countries, how much does it take for your home provider to keep you connected? It’s a closely guarded industrial secret. How much can providers charge? As much as they can. My provider (Verizon) provides one […]
Insert here placeholder for dogfooding metaphor That’s my weak play at irony. I’m fleshing out an idea for a project I hope to start tinkering with; normally I might want to have a bit more to show before talking about it, but oh… the irony. The name for it came to me while driving around […]
I ought to be the last person to get wade into the waters of arguing over definitions. By definition I loathe quibbling over definitions. But c’mon, Chronicle of Writing Poorly But Great at Oversensationalizing Headlines About Higher Education, I cannot event tell what topic el Chrono is writing about. Blame it on the weak wifi […]
It’s been a few weeks since the Blog Brothers were yakking but they did let participants (well anyone) know that their garage would be open for those angling to create a Connected Course.

(Yes I know I mangled the French language in the title. That’s on purpose.) This is a scarf. Just an object.

Not until this morning, looking at […]

Let’s see if this works. The code that does that looks like (yes it needs a noframes option): Rather than […]
It’s a reasonable but largely unanswerable question. For teachers pondering setting up a Connected Course following the WordPress / Feed WordPress method I’ve shared— will web hosting company Y be able to support a site with X blogs syndicating? @cogdog can a server for 12$ per year handle #ccourses data/traffic? http://t.co/lGs4P77NtP — Simon Ensor (@sensor63) […]
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 […]
