(warning: a summary of today’s presentation descends into a detailed accounting of the flaws of facebook’s violation of its own community guidelines and rules on accounts, and ends with me dropping f-bombs) Today I was asked to do a second presentation for Sagrado students on catfishing, following the one I did February 10. While much […]
I’ve noticed a few blogs I see in my RSS reader continually have something at the bottom of their posts like: This post ‘CogDogBlog Now With Authentic Seals of Sarcasm’ was originally published at CogDogBlog on February 20, 2016 My first thought was “duh” I am reading your blog, but have guessed people are doing […]
This morning’s “do the math and taste your antiquity moment” was before a workshop here at Universidad del Sagrado Corazón. In the euphoria of my first year on the web (which is honestly still euphoric) my first presentation about the web (and also on the web) was Providing Structured Multimedia Learning Environments- Mosaic for the […]
This may seem a backward step from my WordPress theming projects, where I am trying to customize that at a per-site basis with just Custom CSS- I am working on a new one using the Galactic theme I have done for a few presentations rigged as a WordPress site (e.g. This is Not a Blog, […]
Much puzzlement happens in setting up syndicated hub web sites with Feed WordPress, and one of the main tripping points is dealing with featured images. In many modern WordPress themes, these are what are used to generate those nice pretty front pages of sites, where each post is represented by a photo/image, or used to […]
Yikes, there he goes again blogging about attribution. Yeah. It is a frequent topic here. Sometime a little around a year ago (my searching through my backlog of posts pins it to early December 2014), I started added a photo credit to the bottom of my blog posts. I had noticed that with the featured […]
This is a pondering not a promise. I’ve been thinking longer on this, but have a dream of rolling a lot of the custom coding I have done for past Connected Course projects (e.g. ds106, Thoughtvectors, ETMOOC, Future of Learning, YouShow— all building a syndication hub in WordPress using the Feed WordPress plugin, e.g. Connected […]
OMG, the working conditions I have this month (/me ducks)… no that is my afternoon on Sunday at the beach I can walk to from the Sagrado campus (Sunday morning was spent working on web sites, ok?) Seriously, it is full on weekdays and evening prep in the first 1 days here. So far I […]
I have been asked to do a faculty workshop a week from Friday, where they more or less asked for “cool web stuff” (not quite what I did for students last week). The working title (because I Do Not Start Work Until I Have a Title) is “Silly / Useful Web Tricks”. This name is […]
This was my second open talk for students at Universidad del Sagrado Corazón — they are giving me free range for topics, so I chose to take them below the surface of the Facebook Pond to look at the world of catfishing. I was impressed with how many students knew the term (they knew it […]
