A Levine family thing, well mine, was when asked what I wanted for a gift. Cleverly I strategized a means to get many gifts; I would request “A big box full of a whole bunch of little toys.” My parents always obliged. The calendar and later in the day my older system reminded me that […]
Did Mrs. Tharpe know what she was unleashing when she gave me permission to do a music video for an 11th grade English project? Or even more when she watched me play it back in class, a music video with no sound track. Did she have a clue about the odd song with lyrics we […]
Never brag about your health; Rod Serling will tap you with some Twilight Zone stick. At a few days short of 55 I had been talking among friends how good I feel- no aches, no replaced body parts, good energy, and not bad for someone 48 years as a Type 1 diabetic. Saturday morning, while […]
Webs are not just for http protocols. They are in life itself, invisible hyperlinks, maybe random generated coincidence. And once more, filed in the bulging web of serendipity tag pile on this blog is how I came to be at a screening of a brilliant documentary Do Not Bend: The Photographic Life of Bill Jay. […]
Next slide. I’ll refrain from writing about the old days when I’d blog a presentation, and all the other ones I attended, the same day. Next slide. To cut the glowing short, the OER18 conference was amazing on all levels for the location, the venue, the conference organizers, the co-chairs, the weather… and above all, […]

Friday marked the 2nd year since I adopted Felix, and since he turns four in May, that means now almost half of his life has been with me. On Monday I will take him for a hello visit to where I found him, the Humane Society of Central Arizona. And following the lead of Pat […]
I keep suggesting to Felix that he should become the family breadwinner and pick up some modeling work. “Hey, someone should pay for all those Milkbones!” He just gives me that dismissive silent stare. 2018 sure seems the year that a lot of people are focused on how broken the internet is, as we wake […]
Syndicating blog posts with Feed WordPress is a good tune, an old song here, from the heady days of early ds106 to my current class. But what about aggregating comments from multiple blogs? It’s come up often over the years, and recently in the Twitters by fellow RSS junkies It'd be interesting to look at […]
It’s one of those things to keep your attention on long drives. From hundreds of miles away are billboards enticing you to check out The Thing in southern Arizona. From a piece in Vice: The Thing is advertised on billboards stretching hundreds of miles, from Arizona to Texas, but it’s impossible to understand The Thing […]
