Nearly every WordPress theme since the dawn of time has in part of it’s footer template something like “©2020 Blah Blah Blah” the “Powered By WordPress” assertion, and often a theme credit link. Maybe no one pays it much attention, but it seems forced to me to have a copyright statement and then somewhere else […]
Images of text are not useful when all you can do is look at them. How can you get text out of something like this if you need a chunk of it to put to use? Go ahead, put your cursor there and try to grab a chunk. I have a current project where a […]
As soon as Chris Gilliard shared the flying Ring drone my mind went to free association.

As those great O2 ads went… “Be More Dog” The other morning as Cori and I went outside, with Felix following, both of us humans saw the rabbit. Felix was oblivious as he scampered about. Even the rabbit was aware. But once Felix looked at the critter, he took off in chase. Full force. He […]
Here we go with a blog post about blogging (maybe the most popular topic ever) as part of participating in the OERu open course Open education, copyright and open licensing in a digital world (LiDA 103). As an introduction, I have my calling card site at another domain, maybe the best internet address I could […]
Twitter is nearly universally accepted as a dumpster fire of hate, misinformation, and just badness. And this is just said by people in Twitter. But it can excel in small ways perhaps lost in the noise. If you ask for with something specific, people you do not know like to offer answers. This is not […]
Cue up the NCSA Silver Browser Band… Just take those old web sites off the shelf I’ll click and watch ’em by myself Today’s sites ain’t got the same soul I like that old-time HTM&L Don’t tell me about web standards What fun is there without a tag for a blink Or a marquee to […]
