- Land, Love, Loving Land, and Letting go to Grow A good few strides into 2025, it’s time to do real Blog Blog Blog. The backlog blog blockage is about to break folks, head for high land! My brain is full of drafts, and a window of left open browser tabs is calling to be used. This one shall as usual be chock full of […]

- Right? or Choice? To Repair (or Joy Thereof) #DLINQDigDetox If anything teaches you about being able to do repairs, it’s going for long distance bicycle rides or using one for commuting. You end up refining a set of small but flexible tools that you can carry, and sometime, far from anything, you find yourself improvising. Or there was a time I was camping alone […]
- Looking for the House on Barrington Road The internet doth giveth, but sometimes you need to turn over some rocks. And get lucky. Today I saw the house my grandparents lived in around 1940… with some help from Google Streetview. I’d mentioned in yesterday’s winded post on amazing stories about how a blog post about a friend of my grandmother whose paintings […]

- In the Rear View Mirror: OE Global Conference 2020 When this blog was young and it’s author attended a conference, it hardly took any time to write a post about the experience. Heck, there were usually several done while on site. insert pithy image representing that was then this is now Rambling Pile of Blogcuses But still a month… er two months later, a […]

- Hammering at OPC (Other People’s Code) I’m not an elegant programmer. My stuff is verbose and rarely, if ever “refactored” (meaning I know it’s a term but fuzzy on the meaning). What follows is a recap of my wandering path in trying to fix someone else’s WordPress plugin. There may be PHP spilling on the screen. You’ve been warned. This all […]
- Ontario Extend mOOC: the soft opening Yes, life gets curse-like interesting when after mocking something you end up using it. But here we go, the edX hosted mOOC (medium sized Open Online Course) I’ve been working on is getting its first visits. The making of this remains to be blogged (can everything ever be all blogged?), but I assembled a short […]

- SPLOT You’re a Rich Text Field I’m SPLOT tinkering and feel a wave of totally un-necessary but irresistible song plays… How does it feel to be One of the beautiful splots How often have you added video Often enough to know What did you format when you were there Everything that WordPress can Captions you’re a rich text Captions you’re a […]
- Notes for #NetNarr Gee whatever happened to venerable “yellowed lecture notes” that profs supposedly rely on decade after decade? I dunno. I don’t have a yellow pad. Tuesday was the first class of my Networked Narratives class at Kean University. It was more than wild and thrilling last year when I co-taught with Mia Zamora; she was in […]

- The Short Life of Grumpy The Cowboy Snowman A cowboy made of snow showed up on my deck on January 6. He was not much of a smiler. Over the next 11 days, Ole Grumpy (as I called ) him, lost his clothes, then blew up in weight (from a later snow), but then started wasting away. By yesterday morning, he was gone. […]
- Hanging Up The Western106 Hat and Poncho It’s not the first time I lost my head, hopefully not the last. But DS106 is an infectious lovely parasite that for a few of us… well at least me, is something I cannot shake. Heck it got me buying a poncho on Amazon to play my part. I’ve had a blast doing up nine, […]

- Assignment Bank: with Media Uploads! cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by epSos .de I’ve been sleeping on my development work to finish out a WordPress theme that gives someone the functionality of the ds106 Assignment Bank but for any kind of content. But I’m back in the game (track the prototype at http://bank.ds106.us/ the content is meaningless). […]

- Help Me ds106 Don’t Stop This Crazy Thing My class of ds106 UMW students are off and running. If anyone sees them, tell them to keep going. The semester start pulls at both ends for me. It’s exciting to bring a new group of (now 26) into the fold; at the same time it is daunting to realize that they are starting from […]

- Glitter Blog Bling cc licensed flickr photo shared by FatMandy The other half of this week’s ds106 assignment is to experiment with amping up the Campbellian locker decor of your blog– this is fitting for the participants new to blogging, and probably something others revisit every now and them (unless some mad tyrant tries to tell you what […]
- Freediving For Gold Bear with me on a metaphorical stretch. Seat belts are not required, but we will practice our breathing. Wikimedia CC licensed image As a kid, I always liked being in the water- I never enjoyed swimming per se, but I loved seeing how far I could go, how many laps I could do, underwater in […]

- Am I A Blogger Domain Squatter? Is that Bad? A long, long, long time ago (maybe not in a galaxy far, far away, it is about 90 miles from where I sit), maybe 2003, 2004, while in my role at Maricopa, I was doing workshops and trying to promote the potential of blogging (how novel, eh?). I created an online set of resources I […]

- Popular, Dugg, and a Gnarly Vrowd Today there was a glut of comments in my Google Reader subscription for What Can You Do With flickr? part of the session I did in October for the K12 Online Conference, so being always in need of some ego brushes, it was pretty cool to get a long string of them — did someone […]

- Mickey’s Tribute We interrupt the regular stream of yammering about rss, wikis, flickr, tags, learning objects, eportfolios, spam (actually it’s been a while for that, don’t ask why) for something meaningful to me (well it is my blog). It’s been more than 3 months since my companion and subject for the “dog” part of this site, Mickey, […]
