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!).

- Late to the Blog: #OER24, Conferences and Everything But the Presentations Surely I am not alone in wondering if time has been following the same portal as lost socks. But it has been— checking the calendar and not doing the math– a “while” since I left the venue for the OER24 conference in Cork, Ireland. Secret tip: Whenever possible, skip the automated transportation and walk. Even […]

- Calling it… Feed2JS Time of Death April 22, 2023 I have more things to write about than old web stuff few care about, but since this was something that started 20 years ago as some of my first blog posts… I can say for sure today that my long running Feed2JS service is no longer functioning. Death has been declared a few times before, […]

- 6x6x6 Tiny Stories in the Rarely Seen Internet Corners With time and the accretion of stuff that accumulate from years of tossing things on the web, again and again I stub my toe happily onto very small bits of serendipity that quietly sits there, doing it’s own, unnoticed bit of marvelousity (yes web editor red underline, I made up my own word). Note: This […]

- Whispers and a Telephone Not that it’s that blog worthy that as maybe the most frequent SPLOT user, “I Did It Again”, but I thought this concept was nifty. Timely. Perhaps even resonating. And I am also going to violate the rules I set out by blogging it, but I think the site as crested (as in a tiny […]

- #ResNetSem at #OER18 Next slide. I’ll refrain from writing about the old days when I’d blog a presentation, and all the other ones I attended, the same day. Next slide. To cut the glowing short, the OER18 conference was amazing on all levels for the location, the venue, the conference organizers, the co-chairs, the weather… and above all, […]

- Spinning Albums from Reclaim Records Once a media idea worms into my head, it’s gotta play out before I can do other things. So it was this morning, leading to this: Jim Groom has been running fun and wild with the record store metaphor for Reclaim Hosting, fueled by the recognizable style of Bryan Mathers. My coffee was still brewing […]

- When You Set the Bar As High as “Easy”… The other day a colleague asked my thoughts on a system (yes open source) that makes it “easy” for faculty to create profile pages. Scanning the examples, I found relatively clean pages driven by web forms, standard portrait photos. But it felt as lively as a rental neighborhood that looks like creative commons licensed ( […]

- If Past Is Any Indication, 2013 Should Be… cc licensed ( BY NC ND ) flickr photo shared by nicola.albertini Thinking back on the 10 year mark of this blog, I’ve noticed the decades for years ending on “3” have been pivotal for me stumbling into some good things, in the usual unexpected ways. So I am due. Oh, I am supposed to […]

- You’ve Gone Too Far When You Pick On The Dog I just remembered another gem from today’s trip today to the National Portrait Gallery – a video display showing examples of Presidents on TV from FDR through the present. I just loved this bit of FDR being humorous (but he looks so serious) about his opponents slandering his dog Fala, a Scottie to be reckoned […]
- Bullitt Chase & Green Bug DVD Menu Getting back into the ds106 creative mood, I was inspired recently to create not only a new animated GIF but make it a new ds106 Design Assignment. Last week, Jim Groom and I watched The Conversation, a brilliant 1974 movie from the conspiracy genre (the slow slide into craziness of Gene Hackman’s character is brilliantly […]
- The S Word cc licensed ( BY NC ) flickr photo shared by hey mr glen The worst kind of blog post opens with some sort of apology for not blogging. It’s a good thing I am not doing that correctly? Because the only one I should every be sorry to ius myself, my personal audience of me […]

- There’s Got to Be… No There Is a Better Way cc licensed flickr photo shared by J. Star This has to be so common an experience I almost don;t have to trot out the narrative I contrived below. Can there be anything more inefficient, annoying, cumbersome, time sucking, exasperating, numb headed than… group scheduling a meeting by e-mail? No, then why the bleeping bleepity bleep […]

- Now This is a Conference Bag! Now This is a Conference Bag! by cogdogblog posted 22 Apr ’08, 11.38pm MDT PST on flickr They don’t make them like the used to… most of ther bags I get at conferences end up in the filing cabinet. This heavy duty tool box was the cool giveaway at UCON97, the 1997 Macromedia Users Conference, […]

- IM This Entry I just added a new feature to this blog’s templates, likely the last tweak I will do as I am rather dead set on moving soon to WordPress (especially after seeing D’Arcy’s demo of the flickr gallery plugin). The new feature is a link along the front page and archive pages (and individual entries) where […]
- Serendipity or Just Dumb Luck: Finding By Not Searching Google is good. Google is great. I wish I kept better records of this, but I have vague recollections of finding some of my most favorite web discoveries at perhaps 3 links downstream of a search, or just by following a suggested link to one source and happen-stancing (random clicking) elsewhere. So I use search […]

- Ideal Gas Law Multi-User Game This experimental site form 2000 (MLX Item #372), a multi-user application designed to teach students the interplay of variables in the Ideal Gas law, has been getting a fair bit of action lately. Check it out.
- Blog Etiquette: Get The Source I’ve noticed quite often as I read more blogs, that people are blogging on another person’s blog on an original post… Why do they not go to the bother to credit the source? Here is one example from Xplana that not only mangles the credit, but does a crappy link job.
- RSS Feeds for MT Categories Well it was not easy but with a little help with this link sent by D’Arcy Norman, I have managed to set up separate RSS feeds for the category areas of this site…
