All about the TRU Collector SPLOT WordPress theme
I can’t explain the why I did this much less why I am blogging about it, but I aim to skip some of the blather, and let you, humble visitor, just take a click at what I hatched yesterday (warning note, there are images that shake and flash a bit). So yeah, I have this […]
I was in conversation this week with the folks concocting an AI flavored DS106 making use of the remarkable monster spawned of Michael Branson Smith of a generated Dr Oblivion All I can say is try it. But there was a round of group fatigue, ennui, fill in another synonym towards AI. We are not […]
So you have decided to join in and write some kind of post, article, thought piece about Artificial Intelligence. Of course you have something to add to the pile. And in a flash of brilliance, you turn to one of a kazillion AI Image Generators (according to Google, 1 kazillion = 959,000,000) and you toss […]
I just can’t stop the SPLOT, which has been into my blog veins since late 2014. Speaking of late November, that was when I got a kind email from Daniel Villar Onrubia asking to guest author an article on online infrastructures for open education for the EDUTEC Journal he is co-editing.

Please Steven Johnson, take my blog post and remixed photo as an honor and tribute to your book (which I have purchased, read, and scribbled notes in the margin).

The notion (and act) of shaping your technology1 rather than limiting yourself to what a tool provides still (or always) is resonating with me. I’m thinking about the width of the spectrum from complete control by code to almost no freedom except what a GUI provides, for me WordPress is my go to for many […]
Like some shiny dress shoes, my SPLOT themes just got a wee bit of polish based on some needs others had. I also made an effort to make sure the three main ones TRU Writer, TRU Collector, and SPLOTbox all got the same shine. This also reinforces what has been true since the first SPLOTs […]
Coming uo with solutions to WordPress needs often means finding a different tree to bark at. I’m never surprised to discover along the way some dusty niche in the code. For example, in the tale I spin out here, I never knew there was a limit for the number of tags the default tag cloud […]
Well it’s more like a day dream that Gojira would rise up with a roar and — this started as a bit of a rant and play at the way Twitter quote / unquote addresses accessibility for tweeted images. I can’t fix twitter. Even Twitter can’t really fix Twitter. But I can do something about […]
