An Option for dealing with CORS
As we do more things with JSON, I run into CORS access issues. They can be solved in various ways but it’s often a hassle. It often irritates me as I build demos in COde After wanting a simple solution this AM, I made this tiny, insignificant PHP file that I think might be useful to others. Name this file cors.php.Or name it whatever you want. I’m going using bossiness as a shortcut to clarity. Put this file on a server. You can now append some JSON URL to that URL like so … https://yourserver.com/cors.php?url=https://someurl.com/data.json and it returns drama-free JSON for your use and enjoyment. Assuming you have HTTPs on your server it should also deal with HTTP/HTTPS conflicts as well which is very handy at times.
ANTH101 v 3.ish
“You cannot think your way into a new way of living. You have to live your way into a new way of thinking.” – Mike Wesch You can’t beat that quote as a way to frame a course and it’s nice to consider how digital content supports that kind of perspective on learning/living. It’s also a key consideration in how I think about building courses like this. You have to do it. You shouldn’t expect to be perfect the first time, or the second, or ever really but if you’re doing it right improving it should be worth the investment. You should get some joy out of the process and it should alleviate things that cause you pain. I’ve had the opportunity to work with Mike Wesch and Ryan Klataske at Kansas State over the last few yearsThe earliest email I see is Aug. 7, 2016. It looks like around 357 emails. on the ANTH101 site. It’s been an interesting progression over time as the course has continued to evolve. We’ve gone done a variety of paths and dealt with human and technical issues. It has been interesting to participate in the ongoing co-evolution of aesthetics, mechanics, and content. It’s also a scenario where I wish I’d have done a much better job with screenshots so I could more accurately […]
Simple Content Restrictor Plugin
Origin Story I had a number of emails from people trying to restrict content in various ways. One person wanted to restrict access because they were editing previously published content. Another person wanted more of a traditional membership-style option with the ability to restrict certain content based on user roles. I looked at some of the plugins out there but felt that building something a little less corporateThe desperately grinding e-capitalist will become a villain hated by our children’s children. would be pretty easy. It’ll likely evolve as I get some people using it but it’s here now if you want to mess with it. Making It This plugin uses the Advanced Custom Fields plugin as it saves me tons of hassle building custom field interfaces. ACF Stuff First, these two pieces enable me to sync up ACF field data without the drama of import/export or hard coding it into PHP.I regret doing this very much on another project as I then started hand coding changes and now am stuck hand coding ACF data stuff. Less than desirable. Now, I started off hand-writing the user levels as items. While easy, it felt wrong because there might be other user levels created by other plugins and they’d end up left out. I realized I could just add the user roles automatically […]

I know you are going to turn these into a video, but the comics are really effective and focused. I hope you find a way to use them to spread the word, as well!
Definitely got my attention!
Glad you all like it. I’m not sure how I’m going to go about the movie. I’ve got chunks of “The Night of the Living Dead” I may mix in but I’ve got a pretty tight deadline so we’ll see how it goes. I figure I’ll include both so as to differentiate for those that don’t like movies. Might as well practice what I preach.
Thanks for taking the time to comment. It means a lot to me.

You should really put these together for a presentation for the k-12 online conference. I swear, each comic gets batter; to the poibnt where I want to start printing them out on archival paper and store them away with boards and plastic baggies with my old comics 🙂
Now my wife will have someone to blame when I quit my job and become the first full time flickr comic creator!
Thanks Ben. I’m having fun with it but I still worry how well it’ll convey the information to some . . .
Terrific work!!!!
