I feel like I’m time traveling back to the good old days of Mother Blogs. Jim posted on Mastodon1 about wanting to be able to display the WP excerpt on posts syndicated via Feed WordPress in a Noir-themed #DS106 course he’s teaching. It broke my heart to hear he was doing it by hand. I […]

This is an interesting example to me for a variety for a variety of reasons. One of them being that I don’t really know enough about graph theory to evaluate the responses. That’s kind of fundamental, but I made the effort anyway. I did learn some as I went on and it does also reinforce […]
I know. So boring and . . . so predictable. I present to you a mix of things I’ve done and thought about related to AI as we try to figure out what we’re doing and how to guide others. They are totally not in the order the title implies and I do not care. […]
I did three AI workshops last week. One was focused on AI in a world building class, one for productivity and one was focused on creativity. You can tell I’m doing too much with AI based on my ads. All our AI presentations will start with the same pattern. This is a condensed version because […]
I took photos for my youngest’s soccer team this year. I publish them to Flickr because I like Flickr still and have been using it for 17 years (!?!). One of the parents put together a gallery for the seniors using Flickr. They then wanted to show it as a slideshow at the upcoming senior […]
We had a request to be able to make Panopto videos show the captions automatically. I thought that should be possible. The first thing I did was try to Google an answer. I ended up on the Panopto embed API page. It has enableCaptions as an option so I tried that in the URL in […]
About a month ago, I did round one of the form-to-Google-Docs scripting post. Since then, we’ve done some testing and things are working well. There was a desire to have the ability to rename documents. That required some rethinking. It’s also quite possible that the add commenter function wasn’t working. In any case, it had […]
We found that a Google Form that was restricted to “Middlebury users only” was having issues displaying in Safari and Firefox. It returned a 403 error. It worked fine in Chrome. When it was open to the world, it worked in all browsers. The issue was the way in which the browsers treated cookies. In […]
Back in April, I did the first version of this presentation. That’s roughly 4 months ago. It feels like a lot has changed since then. As I revisited the presentation, I changed quite a bit. Some of those changes were due to the technology changing. Some changed based on my experience. I listened to 7 […]
I saw someone posting about how ChatGPT 4o kept miscounting the number of r’s in strawberry. They went into a long series of attempts to get it to count the correct number of r’s. It was very similar to the struggle I had trying to get ABCABC rhyme patterns. When I came across this particular […]
