Episode 10: Low Frequency
https://prconnection.s3.amazonaws.com/ep010.mp3 It’s been 148 days since our last episode; does the low frequency of publication mean we are no longer…

Maybe the WordPress Dashboard is Not Always the Best First View?
I’m staring at it right now. No big deal. I log in to my blog, and boom! Black menu bar left, lots of links. Menu top, more links. Boxes of information. It’s all familiar. If you’ve been there before. The WordPress Dashboard. But what happens for the very very very first time you log into […]

The Map is Not the Territory nor exactly the Metaphor
It’s time I back blog on a project I have been dabbling on since April. There is a WordPress site to be shared soon, but this is part of a new series of posts about the development (because I did not do it as I worked, I fell off of the narrate your work train). […]

Net.Art Now.Web
What does the quirky web art of the 1990s, an era before networked video was viable, palettes of 256 colors… have to do with the web of 2019? Maybe everything. Through my old tech ways of scouring the web (RSS Reader) today came another gem from Jay Hoffman’s History of the Web project. It’s not […]

That Time I [mistakenly] Impersonated a Media Lab Funder
In light of the scandal, the stench of pocketed dirty money at the MIT Media Lab, it’s time I confess an act of fakery of actually no consequence (or to be honest only a shred of relevance). I remember the incident well, but the timing eludes me as I found no flickr photos of the […]

Now With Post Publishing Mods: TRU Collector SPLOT
My data suggests the world is definitely post-SPLOT, it’s fallen to the bowels of the hype curve? I am almost ready to offer bribes to what I thought was a major accomplishment, blogged here a month ago. But the SPLOTs go on in development right here. I have as of this morning a working prototype […]

Bot the Author
Meet the AI storyteller? I could not resist the try of StoryAI after seeing this mention from Zach Whalen. After nothing the first results were “conventional”, Zach gave it a good test to see how much I was in the AI. I was as curious, but not maybe as clever. For a prompt I was […]

A SPLOT Fork in the Road
Can you believe this is yet another blog post about SPLOTs? Has anyone stuck a fork in them yet? Not me. I’m considering a rather major change which ultimately make them less complex to set up. This is all about the need for them to use a secret authoring account that the user never sees. […]
Memories
8 and 18
They made everything easy for me, from entrance to this world right up to today, the single day I can mark their exit. Today in 2001 Dad took his last breath in hospice, the cancer winning the battle [for what?]. Today in 2011 Mom too, maybe her missing him that much, hers an unanticipated heart […]

Web Writing… like it was not 1995
Some colleagues are pegging one of the best blogging genres, blogging about blogging or writing about writing. Kate Bowles started a wave with lamenting the weight work related writing, Martin Weller cues the Fab Four , Alyson Indrus is focused on writing writing, and while it’s more indirect, D’Arcy Norman’s observation of Apocalyptic Chic is […]
