There was a song in my head ever since I heard the news that the overzealous Proctorio was SLAPPing Ian Linkletter for his revealing their company IP by tweeting their unlisted YouTube links. Surely I’m not the only one. It was time for a long overdue (as if anyone is really waiting, I mean to […]
The title is not a typo nor a bad pun. Yes, it’s the fourth Thursday of November. The emails have gone quieter. My twitter and instagram are full of photos of the baking I see friends and family in the US are busy doing. The memory reels cue up like an old thumping 8mm film […]
With technology work I find Need is more of a spawner of Invention than Desperation (or Necessity). Not only did a need for a screen timer for the Open Education Global Conference spawn some productive play with OBS, earlier in the planning I came across another need where the pursuit added some new tools to […]
As best I can find from old posts, I started messing around with making a WordPress theme to provide a functionality of the ds106 Assignment Bank in July of 2013. So while lumped in as a SPLOT, it was actually pre-SPLOT. Like anyone cares. But it’s really one of my favorites to use in projects […]

There’s some old saw about “timing being everything” right? What about lucky timing playing with a screen timer? Is that one taken? I got some luck this week with a setup I have been using for the Zoom work for the OE Global 2020 online conference. I experimented with it… the night before You might […]
I may have to put on my code dog cone of shame for finding out I was missing a feature in the SPLOT themes that should have been there a long time ago. But shame is for silly humans, so I just shook it off, and went about fixing it. This came about in conversation […]
Conferences are in the air right now, heaps of them. Just in the rear view mirror is Creative Commons Summit, EDUCAUSE, Open Ed is coming up, and after that one I am involved in, OE Global. And that’s likely a small bit of the overall conference pie. Everybody is trying to solve out the riddle […]
Dave Cormier had a serious question. I cared. I provided a legitimate answer. This one’s for you, Dave. Are you here? Featured Image:
