Twas almost a year ago at the start of my fellowship at TRU that I started what would become the TRU Writer SPLOT, a tool I think has some legs, and maybe arms. This is on the heels of some demos Brian did last week at the 2015 ETUG Fall Workshop and what we will […]
Another part of my bag of tricks I brought to the UdG Agora was setting up a site modeled after the original DS106 Daily Create (which is itself a derivative of the defunct Daily Shoot). This idea is something I have kept close for quite some time, that establishing a regular creative practice done daily, […]
This presentation was almost a month ago, and is pretty much (at least for now) the cap of my TRU Fellowship, but we just got ahold of the video. Brian Lamb and I were invited to do a live streamed […]

The typical scenario for professional development is to invite people to come to your training room, lab, office, building, city. I decided to try something different (I refuse to say “flip”) for the Online Open You Show seminar at TRU. […]
