- Yes! Post by email lives (and finding hidden Jetpack modules) I am forgetting who’s blog post I read recently asking about doing blog posts by email… ah yes, thank for Inoreader, it was JR Dingwal who mentioned this in a new post about revitalizing blogging. Part of me was tempted to respond to JR and say Try Posterous! (old timer internet joke) Posterous was a […]

- The Irony of Out (according to old reruns) I was never a full on fan of the Seinfeld show, and likely saw more of the later than the earlier ones. Just for something different, and avoid the plague of Netflix scrolling, Cori and I decided the other night to try a few episodes. We both were surprised at how much we laughed. But […]

- Digging into an obscure WordPress Error; not quite Brain Surgery You are working on some project and just decide to look at an older WordPress site that should be just sitting there humming along, and see this… Fatal is not pretty. My hunch is that since it is a reference to “undefined function mysql_connect()” that it’s related to the changes in PHP 7 – I […]

- CC Flickr Attribution Helper Now Helps Writers on Medium (while it lasts) Note: I posted this first on medium.com intended as a demo for this blog post. But it took a day to get around to this, so it might look like I am writing my stuff there. Not. This blog always comes first. Sort of. I often feel lonely fighting for attribution for photos openly shared […]

- An Unexpected Affirmation for Why I Teach Serendipity would have no magic if it did not sneak up on you and lovingly whack you on the side of your normality. On a beautiful Saturday when I ought to be outside playing in the fresh snow, I am instead pounding away at this #%$*@ keyboard working on web sites. Finally, after getting a […]

- DS106 in the MLA China Shop List crossing. Attending (and presented) yesterday at the Modern Language Association Conference here in Vancouver. I mingled with more rhetoricians then I usually do. I got to meet Sean Michael Morris and Jesse Strommel of Hybrid Pedagogy fame. My session yesterday was part of a panel on Visionary Pedagogies for the Twenty-First Century: Teaching the […]

- Getting Your Own Meta Data in Your Own Photos You may not be aware of it, but your digital photos have more in them than colored pixels, modern cameras, mobile phones attach extra information that travels with the photo. This came up with discovery because a commenter on my site about returning a found camera asked about finding her own lost camera. I came […]

- Lassie’s Trans-Species Truth on TED Stage Ben Rimes has coined a clever new ds106 assignment that plays with visual mashups – in Fantasy TED Talks you are given free reign to: Create a scene from a TED Talk being given by a fictional character. Obscure or well known, feel free to have your fictional character pontificating on their story, and their […]
- Wrong End of Credentialing Stick cc licensed ( BY ND ) flickr photo shared by Tambako the Jaguar I am riding on a train, watching the archive of Higher-Ed Live interview with Audrey Waters. She and host Seth Odell are bantering about the possibilities of the hither to change everything MITx, the Stanford AI course and Open Badges as well […]

- Even a Cat can Animate a GIF Almost as much as grey page backgrounds, under construction barricades, and nested HTML tables, few things define the web of the 1990s as the animated GIF. It’s been rewarding and nostalgic to see the wave of resurgence in the lead up to the ds106 open course that should lift off this week. It’s been fun […]
- Turn it up to 2011 by Kaptain Kobold I sit in the Vino Volo wine bar at the Oakland airport milking the last minutes from a vacation tacked onto the holiday break…. Who would want this to end? I am buying another ticket to Denial Land. Where did I miss the line to stand in for the life of idle […]

- I Give You These 15… 10 Twitter Commandments I leave it to Phillie Casablanca to issue the Twitter Commandments now available in pretty flickr form– to jump into parody mode, “I Give You These 15…. 10 Twitter Commandments”: I too think “commandment” is a bit strong, but the metaphor is not the point. And again, if you believe there are absolute “right” and […]
- Meeting Cole Finally Get to Meet Cole posted 9 Jan ’08, 8.52pm MST PST on flickr I’ve "known" Cole Camplese for a number of years, though we had yet to meet… He came to speak at Maricopa last May, and wouldn’t you know it, the same week i was at University of Mary Washington. So our "knowing" […]

- Blog Clog Not writing much this week. Looking for nouns. Must find noun…. Just kidding (not that the world would wobble off its axis if I focused on work rather than badly typing about it). January is ramping up with project intensity, still working with our drupal developers on getting the NMC Web site’s 2.0 version ready […]
- Multiple Browsers = Impact of Web 2.0 flickr foto Multiple Browsers = Impact of Web 2.0available on flickr For reasons likely harder to write, I now have numerous iterations of myself at multiple web application sites, including 3 Google accounts (mail, reader, docs, calendar), 2 del.icio.us accounts, 3 flickr accounts. I hate having to log in and log out to do tasks, […]

- Hero’s Journey Project Desperately Needs Web Programming/Design Update Help! I am in search of someone, some benevolent group, maybe a web design/development class project, willing to do an overhaul of a writing site that very much needs an update. Is this a lot to ask for? I just lack the time and resources to do it myself, and despite some flakiness, some 20,000 […]
- Thrice Warned: Piracy Shy? Who reads the fine print any more? From the Stamp Out And Abolish Redundancy Department (apologies to Mad Magazine) comes the fine print on the back on an audio CD: Like the famous multiblade razors, the first warning (1) gets your attention. FBI Anti Piracy Warning: unauthorized copying is punishable under federal law. Then, in […]
