I woke up this morning to a Twitter exchange between Alan Levine and Ken Bauer about creating a plugin that points dead links on a blog to the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine:
I might need a WordPress plugin than converts all links to run them through the Wayback Machine. …
I’m not gonna lie, I have been spending the greater part of the last few days honing my karaoke game. Turns out I can spend endless hours on the web broadcasting to a radio/tv empire with no listeners or viewers and feel pretty damn good about myself all the while. …
Paul and I continue to churn out the cheesy Joy of ds106 weekly videos, and I have to say they’re a blast. No only do they take very little time and exude an air of sub-par quality, but they’re also fun as hell to record. Today was the first …
I’m starting to feel the ds106 creativity rise and hopefully crest here soon, and it feels good. Getting back into the groove is everything, and I figured it was time for a long overdue Daily Create to prime the pump. Today’s TDC features a wild project called Mystic Symbolic Art…
Paul Bond and I are starting to get into the flow of The Joy of ds106 and students are posting! We did a rush job on Week 2’s intro video, but I like that we are keeping it focused and a very manageable 7 minutes or so. Right now it …
I’m officially back in the ds106 saddle as a producer for the ds106.tv public access station. I think the last time I had any significant presence in a ds106 class was 2015 or so, so this feels good, especially in the wake of the 10.6 year anniversary of this craziness. …
I’m gonna try and make this post short and sweet because the conversation above says it all. In episode 24 of Reclaim Today Tim and I were once again joined by Andy Rush to brainstorm the design and structure of an open course we plan on running in the new …
As an update, turns out Zoom will work better than Jitsi in this instance, and I explain why in this follow-up post here.
I spent a bit of time this afternoon getting my rig setup for the KaraOERke event that will be part of ALT’s Summer Summit at the …
I spent some time Saturday and Sunday playing around with the Reclaim Cloud, I am spending more and more time in this environment, and loving it. Couple of notes here given I am prone to forget.
I moved the impressive Anth101 from a managed server into the cloud this weekend …
While I am still cleaning house, I wanted to share the new homepage I create for the ds106.club site.
While I would like to pretend I actually styled this site, I did nothing of the sort. I basically copied the index.html of tilde.club, and then grabbed the stylesheet. …
Part of moving ds106 to a new server is making sure you don’t leave a trail of dead links in your wake. With great classes come great responsibility I think I have the caching issues and some of the kinks worked out after the move, but one think I did …
As the tale of the bava can attest, I have been knee-deep in migrating projects to the Reclaim Cloud. It’s been equal parts exhilarating and frustrating given the possibilities and the necessary learning curve, but that’s often the cost of personal and professional growth. That said, after migrating …
If there is any wonkiness on the https://t.co/GeVkKB717O sites(or sub-sites like https://t.co/F8ktYX9tBW, https://t.co/tC57HjGa1g etc.) it's probably my fault, so just let me know. #ds106 #buildingabettertomorrow pic.twitter.com/Twb8YMjUMm

If the migration of bavatuesdays was a relatively simple move to Reclaim Cloud, doing the …
As you might have guessed from the bava recently, there’s something in the air besides COVID-19, namely the #ds106 reunion tour 10 years on! I’m not entirely sure how or why, but I am glad it’s happening, and I am going to unapologetically ride the wave for as long as …
Last week I talked with Lauren Heywood and Bryan Mathers on #ds106radio, and I had a blast both times. I started thinking why aren’t we doing more of this at Reclaim Hosting given #ds106 and Reclaim go together like chocolate and peanut butter. So last week to the day Lauren …

This is a two and a half hour tour-de-force of a free-ranging discussion about radio, art, and much more between myself and the great visual thinkerer: Bryan Mathers. My relationship with Bryan goes back to chance encounter in 2015 when I met him at a conference in Barcelona …
The #ds106radio has been on fire recently, and I am not going to lie: it gives me a lot of joy and hope in a strange moment. A lot of first timers are jumping on (tune in tonight (day? morning?) for a special sharing is caring broadcast where three friends …
Note bene: I started writing this post 2 days ago (it was actually the 11th day of lockdown, not the 10th), but things have gotten a bit more intense since. Tinkering with this blog and writing throw away posts has provided one anchor in the mental storm of the virus …
Hey @jimgroom South Pacific with music to help pass the days by. I hear that Italians are singing from their windows to each other. You can blast out #ds106radio to them all!

As I listen to Nigel Robertson (@easegill) spinning the …
Let’s recruit… @Autumm @suebecks @Bali_Maha @Jessifer @cogdog #ds106 @ReclaimHosting @jimgroom and more to help create @audreywatters memes!! #edtechAudreyQuotes GO

Seems to me finding an Audrey Watters quote in a ed- tech focused presentation is as common as finding an image of cats. Her …
We are big fans of the SPLOT at Reclaim Hosting, and Alan Levine has been doing a ton of work developing and managing these tools o er the last couple of years. Not so much because folks are paying him too, but because that’s who he is. He follows …
One of the elements of Reclaim Video that I am most excited about is exploring what is possible through the website. We launched the website as part of the world premier at OER18, and it’s pretty awesome. We had a rough idea that we wanted when we reached out …
