Scrolling back the blog in time, inspired by John Johnston to see all posts posted on today’s date in previous years. This is achieved via the WP Posted Today plugin (that’s one I made!).

- The SPLOT Goes On (as never sung by Sonny & Cher) I can hear a dated 1960s beat from the back of my brain… something to rev up the blog again. Yet different lyrics? The SPLOT goes on, the SPLOT goes on I keep pushing updates to the repos. La de da de de, la de da de da MOOCs was once the rage, uh huh […]

- The Small Random Things That Openness Affords This kind of small act of near random #ds106 connection will not increase enrollments, will not “fix” education, will not improve institutional metrics… yet I just cannot let it slip by without a small “wow”. And the ironic thing is that the tweet in which I saw it came into my view about 5 minutes […]

- Am I Switching My Creative Commons Licenses Back to BY Again? That dog named “Loki” is not rolling over, she is flipping (?) In my last post, I suggested questioned perhaps that The Chronicle of Higher Education was not following the guidelines of reusing my flickr Creative Commons Share-ALike licensed photo. With some twitter nudges by Bryan Alexander, I did get an answer from the Chronicle […]

- Get Ready For #ds106 Summer Camp cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog Jim Groom and I are in the last home stretch of ds106 at University of Mary Washington, final projects and last blog posts being due Sunday, and next week being individual review sessions. After an intense semester, as hard working academics we ought to head […]

- Lazy Dog’s Screencast cc licensed flickr photo shared by [cine]diego While I see the value of screencasts to explain technology or web sites, I don’t do them very often– there is something about having something explained to me at someone else’s pace that scratches me a little sideways. But a reason did come up lately over at NMC […]
- WordPress Code Circles cc licensed flickr photo shared by M.H.ick9s Arrgh, just spent about an hour and half chasing myself in silly code circles. Not that it matters, but just to document my sanity/lack thereof… I have a few WordPress pages hanging off the top banner, and I’d previously had them use PHP code in the pages, using […]

- The Presentation File != The Presentation (and 3D Foolishness) As I follow links and burrow around presentations on places like Slideshare its invigorating that a lot of people are embracing a more visual presentations style, where in fact a lot of the sones you see are all images, nary a bullet point to be seen. There is, however, a pitfall. On its own, these […]

- Wired. Tired. Expired. Expired Passively sitting in the glow of an overhead projector watching a presenter read words from a yellowed transparency. Tired Passively sitting in the glow of an LCD projector watching a presenter read words from a PowerPoint word slide. Wired Actively twittering in the glow of a laptop listening to a presenter read words in […]

- Better Podcast Feeds with iPodCatter Plug-in Just found the WordPress plug-in WP-iPodCatter which creates iTunes ready RSS feeds from a WordPress blog. This became necessary as I dabbled with posting my first enhanced podcast file, and noticed that WordPress never put the *.m4a file in as an enclosure. It turns out, WP is pretty limited on what it seeks for enclosures […]
- Personal Broadcasting, Education, and the Remix Culture I am trying some live blogging from the NMC Online Conference. Now up is a keynote… Personal Broadcasting, Education, and the Remix Culture Laura Blankenship, Bryn Mawr College (blogs as Geeky Mom) Wired Magazine feature– not new, there is a history that goes back even to Shakespeare. Now- Writer’s Duel (harry potter Fanfiction) Sampling, remixing, […]
- eLiterate on ePort(able)Folios Michael Feldstein has written in a few concise paragraphs, one of the best frameworks for looking at electronic portfolios, via a “box of stuff” in the basement metaphor: Anyway, I’ve said on a number of occasions that ePortfolios are a lot like artificial intelligence in that they will be only a year away for the […]

- Don’t feed: the Tiger Well, humph, Apple, is well, updating in a rather… um… “Redmondian” way. The OS X 10.3.9 update has done a few things to Safari (I still cannot find the supposed HTML editor, but viewing RSS feed URLs looks even worse in the browser window). But here is a real kicker. While updating my new blog […]
- My First WP Hack I just wrote a itty bitty PHP script to deal with my 800+ imported MovableType posts- as far as my newbie eyes could see, the Permalink URLs contstructed from these were producing some 3 mile URLs because the format I used based on the post name. On new WP entries, I have options to create […]
- Hey I am Just Starting I feel like a gleeful, wet by the ears, just discovered blog software newbie. On one hand I hate starting over, giving up a system I knew insanely well, into a place where I am operating with 12 thumbs. Last night I jumped too quickly into the Theme land, so as WordPress is so easy […]
