Academic conferences are getting some scrutiny about environmental impact of travel. Some. While a valid concern, I think it’s the a misplaced one. Nor is it one of face to face versus online. Are we really doing the best we can for the convening to share practices and ideas? And while there is a privilege […]
I’m one month in to my 13th year of a daily photography practice/compulsion. While perfect attendance is not the goal (only achieved in 2015 and 2016) there usually looms a major year end task of rounding up the strays and ones missing from my yearly album. So as a goal for 2020 (I did not […]
The math on my parent’s anniversary was always easy since they were married in 1950– on February 5, you just needed to subtract 50. Today would have been a party for their 70th. Alas, no party when they are both gone. But twenty years ago it was, my sisters and I had a party for […]
I’m gonna need a bigger tool. And I have been dragging my heels for a while, despite warnings from being registered on Have I Been pwned? (which I think now also sends warnings via Firefox). Yes, for many years I did that lazy thing of using the same password on many a free web site. […]
Maybe it’s not much news to have a media uploader used in a WordPress site… but what if I said you can do that on a site without needing an account or a trip to the ugly dashboard? That’s been a big round of improvements over the last 3 months, a revamp of the TRU […]
I forgot what I was looking for in my flickr photos, but the browser tab has been open to this one for a while. “A Book About Me” would have been published (by crayon) in 1971, as I gather a second grade assignment. That would have been in Ms. Foreman’s class. I was diagnosed as […]
The internet is big enough I can nearly always find any answer when my software does not do what I want it to do. I know video guru Andy Rush my snicker but I use Apple’s iMovie for all my video editing. It’s been years, maybe a decade since I used Final Cut Pro (so […]
Each week I buy a package of cheap storebrand sugar cookies, I call them my “Horrible Cheap Cookies.” I eat 2 or 3 when my blood sugar dips. My wife laughs at me, but I kind of like those no-name maple cookies. I have no idea what’s in them. I can guess, but do I […]
It’s back. It’s dark, reflective, you are looking into it. It looks “off”. But it’s not. It’s looking at you. Is it? This is the 2020 iteration of a recast Network Narratives, the course I’ve co-taught (completely remotely) at Kean University with Mia Zamora. Things are different this time around, start with the intro that […]
Ever since I did some fiddling to make the SPLOTbox WordPress theme be a way to collaboratively create podcasts, I’ve had another dream tapping away. I could hear it. Tap. Tap. Tap. I wondered if it was possible to put a thing right in the page to record audio and have it save to the […]
