- Fetching Stuff from Mastodon (simplest brute force approach) The clock is ticking for me to modify the WordPress theme that powers the DS106 Daily Create given that the slippery slope timeline for free, unfettered access to the Twitter API will sooner? later? tomorrow? hit the bottom. Just to be clear, nothing here stop the DS106 Daily Create site from publishing it’s 4050+ day […]

- The Challenge of Non-Disposable Assignments I might not refer to making Open Educational Resources (OERs) as “easier” but it is more familiar to educators than the idea of creating Assignments that are not “disposable”. David Wiley described the term “disposable assignments” in a 2013 post on Open Pedagogy. It’s a brilliant approach to talk to educators about designing open materials, […]
- Get Centered, WordPress Auto Embedded Tweets! Oh web design vanity, thy name is obscure CSS class. This is something really really visually petty, but, you hopefully know you can in WordPress you can embed a single tweet by just finding it’s URL (it’s the link on the time/date stamp) and putting it on a blank line: blah blah blah blah blah […]

- #HEYFACEBOOK Why Won’t You Talk About Catfishing? It’s just another night, and just another email from someone who did a reverse image search on a man she was being courted by online only to discover all his photos belong to a guy named Alan Levine. These victims emphasize their shame at being fooled and seem focused on feeling bad for me as […]

- A Long Running Project Revisiting Net Art Almost a year ago I started a project that has no real purpose beyond my own curiosity and interest in web history (if I were to invent a new dream job it would be something like Web Archeologist). During a […]
- BorderXing Guide Keith Bunting and Kayle Brandon’s project challenged ideas of boundary crossing in the physical world (supposedly made freer by formation of the European Union) as well as the online world (supposedly made freer by open, global access). But this freedom is not equitable, it comes with social and economic privilege, and not for activists or those seeking asylum.

- MOOCs are The Baby Ruth in the Bushwood Pool of Higher Education I cannot think of a more fitting MOOC-a-phor. “It’s no Big Deal” reports David Carl Spackler Wiley. DOODIE!

- Slice 12: Playing for Team Celsius cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by olga.palma The title here has no real reference to anything I talk about, besides me babbling as I talk, walking in to campus on February 14 at the “crack of 10:00am”. The class is consuming me, and at least one person about there is wondering, “Will […]
- Slice 11: Sigh cc licensed ( BY NC ) flickr photo shared by Bondseye This was from two weeks ago, still catching up on my back(b)log of audio reflections, back in my second week of being here at the University of Mary Washington teaching my section of ds106. I can give you a prelude that the next episodes […]

- Through the Lens cc licensed ( BY NC ) flickr photo shared by Derek K. Miller I had way, way too much fun (as if there is really such a measurement) with my presentation yesterday for the ITC 2011 conference here in Florida. On the beach. Under the sun. Maybe it was because this was all brand new […]

- Window Closing Soon on Proposals for NMC Symposium on Mashups Hurry up and submit your session proposals for the Apr 1-3 NMC Symposium on Mashups! This online conference will take place in both Second Life and on the web at LearningTimes.

My role is to represent the blogging interests of the Great Unknown Canadian Southern Province […]

- Reading Spammerish Among the steady stream of spam for acne treatments, continued gambling and substance fetishes, apartment rentals, disaster recovery software is a new variety that I am left dumfounded in trying to interpret– these are one line messages of unintelligible alpha numerics. e.g. JKzw7GIFFsiglB wfedcfy80EZR FXku7fmkbyn0t or SABok8o1e5aYn A9CuXC4vvFU8c YbMFRUk A23NLhe
- Social Software In Action (no real software required) Actions speak much more clearly than definitions. It was D’Arcy at the UBC Social Software Salon who described it something like being removing or downplaying the “software” portion of online social interaction. Whatever your way of describing what “social software” is how, submitted below is a nice example of the informal way the web, blogs, […]
- Podcasting Demo Call For Help (The Lamb Approach) I’m scheduled to do next week two demos at our colleges on the latest buzzword sweeping the educational technology landscape… podcasting. Following a cue from Brian Lamb in asking the internet for help, I’ll put out my own call (imitation == flattery). This is just an overview (I think) of what podcasting offers for educators, […]

- Another Bookmarklet Tool- Quick Furl Search I cannot claim this was an Urgent/Important task, but my curiosity got the better of me… I made a new bookmarklet tool that allows me to run a search against my furl-ed sites either by entering the search terms or by highlighting the words in any web mouse-selectable content. This avoids having to load a […]
