- Playing Clue with Professor WordPress for #PressEdConf21 On Thursday I managed to do a presentation for the 2021 PressEd Conference (WordPress in Education) at the same time I was co-hosting a BCcampus H5P Kitchen webinar. The former was easy because of the refreshingly unique mode of this conference as all “presentations” are done as a series of tweets in a 15 minute […]

- Digg Shrugg Talk about recursive web history… Digg Reader bit the dust this week, five years after it came to be in the aftermath of Google burying its own RSS reader. I won’t even search my own blog, I know there are many rants about Google’s decision. Yet on seeing the notice just two weeks ago that […]

- For #OpenEducationWk Take a CC Certification Unit for a Test Drive During our recent project team meeting we had an idea to share the status of the Creative Commons Certification for Open Education Week: You are free to browse the current completed Core Certification units published here in WordPress or the same source content that originates in GitHub. But we are asking as one that fits […]

- Playing With Programmable URLs One of my weird hobbies is figuring out web tools I can manipulate from just changing something in the URL. In my just ranted piece on Instagram I sought out a thing that would tell me when in time a certain date was that was like 247 weeks ago. Research Maniacs had just the thing, […]
- Instagrump:
ShareGive Away Photos You Cannot Find, Search, or License In the affirming spirit of the US elections, let’s talk about winning. By the metrics of internet success, one might say that Instagram pretty much is winning the photo sharing corner of the internet. Gulp their own sheer numbers: Instagram should be the poster child for what Mike Caulfield characterizes as StreamMode: I’ve been talking […]

- Coming Soon to TCC 2013: The ds106 Show I’m bringing ds106 to the 2013 TCC Online Conference (the 18th Annual “Technology, Colleges and Community” Online Conference). This keynote session (look at my along side Terry Anderson, I cannot wait for some of his trademark jokes) is listed as Dim the Lights: The ds106 Show. My original thought was to build a presentation metaphor […]

- No MOOC Respect When I was a kid I got no respect. When my parents got divorced there was a custody fight over me… and no one showed up. MOOCs are on fire. They are a tool for democratizing education. They are crumbling the Higher Education Monopoly. And you know what hear? Stanford. Udacity. MIT. Massive. Numbers. And […]
- teh awesome ds106 video work My wild ride of teaching ds106 has been a bit like riding a crazy horse on speed. We are in the intense part of the course where students are working in video, and while they talk about how hard/challenging it is, I am seeing in many of them that fiery drive to create. In already […]

- Join Me- Ban Spam Supporters Ubiquity Hosting From Your Sites I am not a happy pup. The volume of blog comment spam coming into my quiet little dog house is has reached DEFCON 4 on the scale of annoyance. So I am taking action against one company, Ubiquity Server Solutions which coddles spammers (see the updates and comments below- I cannot stand by this initial […]

- Spammer Leaks Secret Among the cleanup I am doing here is continual emptying of the comment spam on a site I created, blogged about, but will not link directly, but it is more or less a publication, perhaps even, a “forum” that “i” created at MCLI. But I am not writing about the content. Nooooooooo, when would I […]
- Blog + Furl + RSS: Cinema Class Glu’d Where did all the conversations go about “EduGlu” apps? Maybe people are doing it rather than writing about it… Well, here is a nice example from the Maricopa trenches– Shelley Rodrigo teachers a Cinema Class at Mesa Community College and has pretty much set up her class across a trio of Web X.0 tools. The […]
- Why Did I Ever Waste Time Studying in College? I could have done something in those four, make it, five, make it several college years, when wonderful offers like today’s email spam brings: Obtaining a DIPLOMA has never been so easy! Call today and find out how you could get your DIPLOMA from a highly credible college, Full Transcripts, A Letter of Recommendations, and […]

- Tell John about Do Not Call About every three-four works, my non-friend John leaves a message offering his services from “Credit Foundation of America”. His recorded voice has a faux concern about why I have not called him back regarding their debt consolidation services (did I ever tell anyone I needed this? noooooo. Do I now John? Noooooo. Why does he […]
- SciencePORT: Scientists Get Fed Here I think that SciencePORT is a directory/search site of RSS feeds in the sciences. It is hard to tell since the “About” link is just a bunch of links to RSS aggregator downloads. Well it does have “bugs” on the logo and a BETA stamp. Nuff said. But they have a directory structure that lists […]
- The Lost Art of Reading Directions We are coming into Week 7 of our 12 week faculty course, Web Based Teaching, and thanks to the return of my co-teacher, we are mostly caught up on back grading of assignments. We had to provide some mea-culpas as our stated turn around on grading had lapsed– a good part as I had to […]
