I always thought bookmarklets were cool. I still think they are cool. I like the idea of little tiny tools that live in a place reserved for something else entirely. Alan has 89 posts mentioning bookmarklets. That’s also a clue that they’re interesting. What drove this was that Panopto removing the RSS feed option in […]

Round of the parallel practice tool was done in Google Forms/Sheets. Things went pretty well and an internal award was given to help take the project to the next level. I did a bit of early sketching with the form a little while ago. This week, I’ve been working on it more diligently and I […]
In the Domain of One’s Own workshop yesterday, Ed Beck‘s work around integrating Omeka and WordPress came up. It led me to check out the Omeka S API. I made a functional example in CodePen and a couple of things came up that might be of interest. First, why do something like this? You have […]

I find it good for the live/interactive aspects of the conversation but when I was looking back over it, it was hard for me to read and organize in my head. I decided I wanted the text from the various sticky notes in a spreadsheet so that […]

It deals with users, logins, uploading media, writing to the database, etc. On the other hand, WordPress themes can feel […]
I’m working with Greg Pask to make a lab website. When I asked him for some visual inspiration he sent me two comic book covers by David Aja. That was a first! It’s driving me to do some interesting things in Illustrator for the first time. I’ve long promised myself I’d learn vector drawing but […]
The following is what I wrote for this year’s DLINQ Digital Detox. It was strange writing without footnotes. It’s also a lot less of my normal writing voice. I was writing for a bunch of strangers rather than you, my dear readers.1 It’s easy to use the web without thinking about it much. Modern processors, […]

This is for the Domain of One’s Own Roadshow workshop/conference thing. Reclaim stuff is always fun and I should have gotten this down earlier but I didn’t so I’m just trying to get down some ideas on assessment and data. I read it now and I’m kind of bored myself but overthinking the value of […]
