Watching the responses roll by when […]

- 6x6x5 That One Thing Now I slide down a potentially slippery incline plane to make a case for a life philosophy based on a line from a cheesy comedy-western film. Hardly the fodder for rigorous academic inquiry. Note: This is another installment in my participation in the 2022 Write 6×6 Challenge, they must sometimes shake their heads at what […]

Maybe you do not know this. but WordPress does it’s best to connect the name for a post if there is not an exact […]
- Did you hear? FeedBurner Subscriptions Bite the Dust Cue up the music, because Google again does another round of creating dust of your web services. I got an email from Google letting me know that Feedburner is getting dusty. Well, maybe they are not deleting the service, but taking away from it. Sure grandpa, who cares? What the heck is Feedburner? It stems […]
- So *That* is What Was Inside the Wix Box? Flatter me and offer to ship a mystery box? At some level I was intrigued, but at the next level down, skeptical. Choose one – curiousity or caution? I went with the latter. In January I got an unsolicited email message from someone at Wix. (I respect their privacy, and changed the name). Hi Alan, […]

- It’s April, Which Means it is TCC Time of the Year Since it has been on going for almost as long as I have been in the ed tech field (going back to 1996), the annual Technology, Colleges and Community conference feels like a regular part of the changing seasons. This annual online conference may be the longest running international technology conference (I am sure someone […]

- TLA, Ergo Sum In education, and technology, but no different from most other fields, we sure can get mired in definitions. It seems… that the mere fact of identifying something with a TLA (Three Letter Acronym), that it exists. Like last Decemberm when I got invited to be on the planning committee for the EDUCAUSE ELI Focus Session […]

- The Dog Barfed Up Some Comments Although I noted yesterday that my own technical gaffs had erase all of our blog comments going back to September 2004, I did comb through the last database dump from early March 2005 and sifted out the legit comments for Sept 2004 – March 3, 2005, so the loss was the last month and a […]

- The RSS Winterfest Will Not Stop (Annoying Me) The party from the January RSS Winterfest seems to be lingering on- but I am not festive. I get daily emails notifying me of changes on their site, which I am not following nor interested in. Four freakin’ times I used the link on their messages to set up email notifications to “never” .
