per·mu·ta·tion p?rmyo?o?t?SH(?)n/ noun a way, especially one of several possible variations, in which a set or number of things can be ordered or arranged. Often I am asked if “this is the right way to do attribution” for something openly licensed. Most of the time I am tempted to reply, if you are attributing at […]
While I have a fairly well-formed image in my head how the Creative Commons Certification system will flow, at times (many times) despite efforts to sketch and explain, I wonder if others do. I will keep trying. And I think/hope it will be clearer as we roll out in the next month or two, more […]
A tweet of ends #digitalstorytelling gem @cowbird to shut down: https://t.co/IRIyymTJcYThis makes me so sad. — Bryan Alexander (@BryanAlexander) February 8, 2017 The standard opening lines here would be my woeful admission of how little I had written in that special storytelling space.
