- Flickr Flips the Longitude: Greetings from Botsiy, Russia Flickr does some very fun things for me, and my pink and blue dot loyalty planted in March 2004 remains true. One of the fun things it has done numerous times over the past 6+ years is, without much a recognizable pattern, decides to locate my photos somewhere in rural China and remote regions of […]
- Back to the AI Past: ChatGPT and ELIZA on a Blind Date Perhaps there needs to be more romance in the world of Artificial Intelligence? For a while, I had some thoughts back to good old ELIZA. What does she think of all this stuff? Most likely she would not say but deflect back with more questions. I had not realized … that extremely short exposures to […]

- Bringing the Kitchen to Arizona The sounds and smells from the H5P/PB Kitchen are detected in far away places. Today I was fortunate to bring the concept, support model. and examples from our…

- CogDog It Company Report Maybe it’s that impending tax time of the year. As an independent self-employed company of (rounding up) 1.0 I start the tax forms around now, just in case it looks like a refund might be in the works. If the numbers tilt the other way, as it looks, I shelve it til April. My friend […]
- Can Wordprezz Embedz GIF? It seems like WordPress can auto-embed giphy URLS although it is not a service listed in the codex. Nicely done, WordPress, nice. Yup that is an auto-embed simply by putting on a blank line: https://giphy.com/gifs/9D1k9OnAkt4zWXvuAf Look out!

- A New Dimension of a WordPress Theme I’m fairly sure this blog post and the README write up a new WordPress Theme are going to take as long as it took to do the coding. That’s okay, it’s important. The path I took was similar when I was looking for a simple landing for the main site of the WordPress Multisite for […]

- A Catfishing Page Tonight I got another distraught and ashamed email (“You must think I’m stupid”) (No I do not). This message someone who just had the veil lifted from their eyes and found they were a victim of a catfishing scam from a fake person wearing my photos. I decided to copy Alec Corous and set up […]
- Doling Out URLs Still in Style This morning’s “do the math and taste your antiquity moment” was before a workshop here at Universidad del Sagrado Corazón. In the euphoria of my first year on the web (which is honestly still euphoric) my first presentation about the web (and also on the web) was Providing Structured Multimedia Learning Environments- Mosaic for the […]
- A Farce Performance: Honor a Request to Remove Old Blog Comment Spam? Believe it or not, web kids, there was a time when you could put a form on a web site with a text area and not worry about people blitzing it with spurious irrelevant links to Chinese metal manufacturing companies, porn, pharmaceutical supplies, etc. What Google provided us in search results rests upon an economic […]

- Google Wakes Up and Smells the Animated GIF In August I noted the oddity that you could upload animated GIFs to Google Drive but you could not insert them in any documents. A comment on that post had me re-checking, and woah, you can directly upload an animated GIF anyplace you can upload an image, here is a gDoc with two GIFs I […]
- Experiments in Open Courses You Won’t Find in the New York Times, A Cheesy Edudemic Infographic, or Among Davos Champagne Sippers cc licensed ( BY NC SA ) flickr photo shared by Johan Rd When will that MOOC[cow] finally hump over the Gartner peak and slide down to its valley of disillusionment? Is it after the last article published the cites the birth of MOOCism to the Stanford AI class? Might there actually be something out […]

- Week 5 in Review This past week’s Daily Creates I seemed to have done more this week with my iPhone camera than my DSLR, and dod a bit more experimenting or playing with 2 apps – PhotoGene for editing and ToonCamera for making cartoon effects.
- Get Infected ds106 Propaganda posters— they seem to be calling from many places; I came across a great collection at Shorpy (another mint archive for visuals from the past). Hence a warning poster about ds106: This one was rather easy to work with- the original poster was a warning against the dangers of syphilis: The backgrounds of […]

- Jane… er, Google, Stop This Crazy Machine Even with spam fighting plugins, on a daily basis, I am spending time I’d rather be doing sometime constructive, and deleting, moderating, click through the relentless barrage of blog comment spam. I am feeling like the dutch boy and I am getting weary of trying to hold back the dam. The killer was one that […]

- I Wish I Were Canadian I am soooooo envious: Northern Voice Blog Conference
- Podcaster Request: Feed With a Summary I continue to put my pennies in a piggy bank towards a future iPod. Until then, in scanning more and more RSS feeds that contain references to the audio enclosures, I am bothered/irked/annoyed by the scant details available to the summary in an RSS Reader: My Views on the Cheese Curdling Controversy Today’s podcast on […]
- I Can Snow If I Want To flickr foto I Can Snow If I Want Toavailable on my flickr The thermometer is pegging 35+ degrees, but snow is falling in nice big clumps this morning at our cabin in Strawberry. A big wet storm is sitting on top of Arizona, the second in a week (I am convinced somehow our weather delivery […]

- Syllabus onTrackBack: What Train? Wrong Track? Just getting bounced around RSS-space is Phil Long’s Syllabus Feb 2004 column on TrackBack: Where Blogs Learn Their Places . Some are saying tat it explains Trackback well, but to be honest, you cannot really understand it until you use it. We are glad that Phil is giving TrackBack some limelight (waiting for those to […]
- Ahhh, this Makes RSS More Understandable Amy Gahran, publisher of CONTENTIOUS (all caps) thinks RSS is confusing because of the acronym. So she is running a “contest” aimed to “rename” RSS (this dog thinks the cat, er, meme, is out of the bag). So here is the update on the “front-runners”, and judge for yourself how much the label affects the […]
