Using TRU Writer for a Portfolio for Published Work
In a bit of a self test, I am using the TRU Writer SPLOT tool to build a collection of papers I have published: This is a little different from […]
It’s always show time here at the edge of the stage
Most of my experiments with web publication have been experiments with form. My late-and-unlamented blog on Blogger, my Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ presences, even my DS106 blog (which needs a daily create before it starts pining for the fjords) – all primarily attempts to understand tools through their constraints. So the act of planning the … Continue reading It’s always show time here at the edge of the stage →

Down the Rabbit Hole
Looking inwards and reflecting on personal choices made is a lot like falling down that wondrous Rabbit Hole: a spicy mix of pride for risks taken, self-doubt and regret for actions and words said (or unsaid), fear for doors closing, and excitement for doors opening.
