Oh the mysteries of having a photo appearing in the flickr explore… The tell-tale sign is seeing a huge spike in the red dot notifications, but sometimes it’s a stream of a few folks who routinely like a bunch in a batch. But then one of them is a notice that a photo was added […]
Speaking of HTML5 Up Themes I’ve folded into WordPress ones, I have to say my favorite might be WP Big Picture. Check out the demo site. It has the lush design of the original HTML5up theme, but what you get in the WordPress version is adding new sections merely by creating new posts, easily changing […]
It won’t put much of a dent in the problematic aspects of the internet, but at least a reminder that it can still be that Wunderkammer, a cabinet of curiosities. Often without much thinking, in our web doings, we click the + button or more likely, command-T to open a new tab to do something. […]
Among the list of “wow it was 25 years ago” was this Fast Company article that came across my twitter stream, “Myst” at 25: How it changed gaming, created addicts, and made enemies. In Myst, you explore an ornately detailed island that leads to other vaguely Victorian sci-fi worlds (called ages) created by a character […]
Here is another new experimenting in porting a Creative Commons licensed HTML5 Up template into a WordPress theme, say hello to WP-Lens. This joins my three previous HTML5 Up to WordPress themes, I was thinking recently of what other templates might be useful inside a WordPress site. The static html site Lens really puts images […]
Since August I’ve been working on an up to now unblogged WordPress as portfolio project with Colin Madland at Trinity Western University. Let’s dash the “un”. I remember hearing of electronic portfolios from my very get go in instructional technology in the 1990s. I remember getting to know Dr Helen Barrett who even then billed […]
I opened up WordPress to write something. As often it goes, I got curious about something, fell into rabbit hole, and find myself writing a different post. This is my oft repeated experience on the internet. I’m not stats obsessed, but I did glance at the JetPack plugin’s dashboard widget. It was not the numbers […]
It’s rather exciting to finally see this available on my Reclaim Hosting cpanel… As if I need another reason to say how awesome @ReclaimHosting is- there is a second one click install of my WordPress calling Card themes available. This is way beyond "Hello World" in Twenty-Seventeen https://t.co/WOPKvEZOod pic.twitter.com/GDtuDunH2l — Alan Levine (@cogdog) September 11, […]

I probably said elsewhere that something else I made online was my favorite thing, but today I am going to say it’s the pechaflickr site I made that combines random images from flickr with pechakucha. Even trying to describe it in words does not help, give it a spin. It’s built all from open pieces […]
