It’s been more than two hours since all connectivity went down. Electricity is on and I am getting news from NPR via my old boom box radio. It’s just regular stories- dogs, schools, Glen Campbell tributes, local politics. No klaxons or announcers urging everyone to be calm. So the North Korean bombing has not started. […]
Cue up the BTO opening power chords… You see a broken icon hole in a post five years old What were you thinking using Flash? There was no HTML5 and Adobe seemed alive, Now that video’s as good as trash. And that link to what you read is now just a 404 dead. Keeping the […]
I was not going to do this until a little later, but in one of those late night self conversations of “I wonder if I can do this quickly” I’ve dropped a new theme on this blog. This one is a free one in the WordPress bin, Cover which I first saw used by Clint […]
For no real or sane reason, was moved to do a cover version of Donovan’s Season of the Witch in my own variation as homage to DS106, which like a witch, cannot be killed. I play it differently than the original that’s what makes a cover version and not a copy. Just two chords, with […]
It’s a very satisfying thing to succeed at digging. While I am way way behind Tom Woodward in API wrangling, I’ve put them to use in projects- using the FLickr API for pechaflickr and 5 Card Stories. I also put the twitter API to use in the Daily _____ sites, e,g, the DS106 Daily Create. […]
Somewhere on my road trip last months I managed to loose my iPhone ear buds. And somewhere earlier I had lost my backup pair (if you know me, you know I believe in backup backups). I use these all the time for my online video stuff, and for a few days I was using an […]
Hello flickr explore, it’s been a while…. Perhaps you were hungry The thing is there’s not a whole lot to say about the photo. It’s a pie. It’s the first home made apple pie of 2017, as my tree has a pretty good amount of fruit on it. The recipe is not a family secret, […]
Big news. Hah. To save a whopping $10 a month I have let go my line for the Verizon Wifi Hotspot (left in featured above). I’ve not used it nearly as much as in years past, my contract is up. I’ve been testing tethering from my iPhone (which years ago required arcane jail breaking). I […]
It’s been a while since I blogged a breakdown on the making of a DS106 Daily Create. I was lagging a bit on energy this afternoon, and that’s when I see if I can publish a Daily Create response in less than an hour. TDC2027 was a fun one: #tdc2027 Shatner A Song: William Shatner, […]
Maybe I just keep cranking out the copy web sites. If you invite me on to aproject chances are I will make a case to do something derivative of DS106 — maybe it’s blog aggregation or some kind of bank. But the one I love the most is introducing the Daily Blank, a WordPress theme […]
