Like the image above, I find it not so neatly define, it is a swirl. Bear […]
A few clicks back I coined the made up term “linktribution” to represent the recommended way of thanking someone for use of their open licensed content by linking back to the original. It is the least one can do, eh? Sadly it does not happen nearly enough, note this article on Psychology Today — not […]

Sure, I am in Canada, and people have that "nice" thing going, so I’m ready to believe. And their money is […]
cc licensed ( BY NC ) flickr photo shared by sayhellotojessica Well, actually I wont be there unless you ask. I’ve had some people request a means to get updates from here via email, namely for the upcoming road trips. Yeah, e-mail. that dead thing. I looked at adding a subscription plugin (likely Subscribe2), but […]
Don’t ask me why I tooled around in Firebug, but my sarcasm spot sure needed some itching. I was looking at some of the works done for the web story assignment in Martha’s ds106 session (wither the URL for the class blog?). I was wondering if this time I could do the whole thing in […]

It lulled me into a trance, mumbling zombie-like “Must make animated GIF… Must make animated GIF… Must make animated GIF… Must make animated GIF… […]

That was my first mistake. Apparently my hippy neighbor, one Maynerd G. Cosmo, decided to make himself at home in my […]
cc licensed ( BY NC SD ) flickr photo shared by Gary Denness I did something dumb on the internet. I should have known better. I should not have clicked. I should not have filled out the form. But, I did. The thing is, when you are cruising through the z-space, your 99.99% vigilance is […]
cc licensed ( BY ND ) flickr photo shared by Lori Greig Ye old CogDogBlog seems to be teeter-tottering long; I am seeing a lot of 404s and Internal Server Error 500s, and the error logs are rife with unhelpful details like “premature end of script headers”. My last round of tweaks aimed at memory […]
