- Creation as Deletion: A Dozen #ErasedAmerica Photos My favorite act of creation after many many globe spins, still remains photography, whether it was on film in the old days to digital cameras to now often the mobile phone camera. I have claimed somewhere? nowhere? That photography, like and yet unlike say Blackout Poetry, is creation by deletion. How? In taking/making a photograph, […]

- Under the Hood of WordPlace Over the last 8 months I’ve been tinkering on a WordPress site made for my wife Cori’s high school program. It’s a place for students most at risk of not graduating across three local schools to write, reflect, connect. It’s a web site but there’s much more to it. If you think Central Canada is […]

- Best Conference Ever This is just a wee bit of example for a presentation on Not So Stupid WordPress Tricks at April 18, 2019 PressEd Conference, here showing how a post can be used a web direction trick.

- Open Web Presentation for BC Campus This presentation was almost a month ago, and is pretty much (at least for now) the cap of my TRU Fellowship, but we just got ahold of the video. Brian Lamb and I were invited to do a live streamed […]
- The One, The Only, Rhizome Cowboy Only rhizomes can explain why this idea popped into my head. Maybe it was seeing the #rhizo15 tweets. But there it was, a song going in my head. In the middle of the day I was looking up the tabs. I waited at least until after dinner to write some lyrics. And then practice a […]

- On Web Thinking Yesterday’s serene country side drive to Blacksburg was the perfect set up to attend the 7:00 pm talk by Jon Udell — who is here as the first Virginia Tech Distinguished Innovator in Residence. I was invited down by Gardner Campbell, who first connected many of us in education to Jon’s work. As that story […]

- Be Part of Crowd Sourced AR Video Making I was here trying my best to stay on target on my list of tasks, when The Twitter® distracted me with A Life Eroding, a cool project from the Tokyo campus of Temple University As described there: This is a video call to participate in the first ever crowdsourced augmented reality music video, produced in […]
- Sterile Professional Videos in the Era of YouTube cc licensed ( BY NC ND ) flickr photo shared by Jim Blob Blann Disclaimer: I have no training in film critique or production, cannot cite obscure Peruvian directors nor dissect plot structures of obscure Norwegian dramas. I just see a wide range of web videos. And I find myself more and more bored watching […]
- Do You Feel Lucky, Wabbit? For my attempt at the ds106 El Mashup assignment, I stuck with a subject used twice so far for other ones- the legendary Dirty Harry. Previously done were Soiled Harry web story page redone from IMDb, and a little audio play with Dirty Daffy. My plan was to mashup up Inspector Callahan with a Warner […]

- iRrational iPolarization cc licensed flickr photo shared by cogdogblog Yeah, I go an iPad with the coolest wallpaper available. Heck, I’ll share it with anyone who wants it. Frankly, I am uttering a collective yawn at the irrational exuberance at one end and the irrational vitriol at the other of the iPad spectrum. It’s just static filled […]

- (almost) Effortless Photo Blog Doing the photo a day for the 2009/365 photos group is not all that much an effort; it has become more of a daily habit than regular dental care (don’t tell Dr Fow!). What almost takes more effort is keeping my count organized; I am naming them all this year with a title of 2009/365/x […]
- Five Card Flickr Stories: Code Updates While shaking off the thick layers of coding dust in my Feed2JS efforts, I also took some time to update the code for my Five Card Flickr site- you can play with it now at http://web.nmc.org/5cardstory/. Again, this is a variant of Five Card Nancy, where you are challenged to assemble 5 photos randomly plucked […]

- NMC Two Point Oh Hey, I just finished my 2006 summer project! When I joined NMC, I projected having a public version of a new web site ready by September. I lied. Or grossly underestimated. Or lied. But this morning we flipped the switch and lit up the tree. I could blog about all details of this process (and […]

- The Dog Ate My Comments Yesterday I was trying to clean out a swath of comment spam on a blog we set up for one of our college’s sites, wiping directly from the database, e.g.: DELETE FROM mt_comments WHERE comment_blog_id=XX AND comment_author like “%poker%” DELETE FROM mt_comments WHERE comment_blog_id=XX AND comment_text like “%cialis%” DELETE FROM mt_comments WHERE comment_blog_id=XX AND comment_email […]
