In every project, playful remix, and blog post I do I am on the prowl for open licensed images. There’s an ever increasing number of sites where you find these. They are far from equivalent. There is some kind of profit game out there, byt would guess it’s ad-driven. Thus, Google’s allure is the tail […]
My memory may be operating at guess level here. The Office Wall Jacks Back in 1992, my first year as an instructional technologist* at the Maricopa Community Colleges, for exact reasons I forget, I was giving what now I know are subdomain names for all of the computers in our office. The how/why goes further […]
My chops may not be elegant, but it sure was fun this week to tinker with some Google Sheet formulas to deal with a tricky task. Not that this tweet explains it any more, but to me, it’s better meds than demon sperm. Does this tweet say enough for a blog post? Never. First, some […]
I should just end the post with this as a title. Leave ’em guessing, right?

I always (gently) teased my grandmother that she had to live to be 100. And this was no childhood thing; I am pretty sure I started this campaign in my 20s. I’m not sure why I did, and likely it was because I never could imagine a world where she was not in it, even […]
Nine years ago, an almost random brushing of one person’s story, even if immortal, so brief as to leave almost no remnant, ripples back again. Just because I left a little shred of information here in the blog pile. That someone far away could find. At once time this would be turned into a video […]
This blog post title likely makes no sense. I must have typed it in and backspaced it out eight times. Maybe nine. And if I can pull together what feels like disparate strands of ideas, that too would be an accomplishment. More likely a good breeze will send it flittering. Would you like more rambling […]
Alan Levine on https://prconnection.s3.amazonaws.com/ep012.mp3 Some recipes claim to be easy. This podcast was in the oven for almost three months, and the fault…
