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 the other versions we have set up (in addition to […]
Stuff Reflected
The story behind some of the stories
Inside the RSS Magic Box
Wow, I thought I had written this up somewhere, but because Ken asked, and he is doing cool stuff with his Connected Course… Can anyone share the code for the Magic Box #CCourses http://t.co/lv3QFzS45M @cogdog @mburtis @timmmmyboy ? — Ken […]
Sitting in on Stormy Mondays Blues Radio Show at CFBX
After last December’s visit to the CFBX radio station on campus here at TRU I signed up for their program to be trained as a DJ. While my time here is likely too short to put the name on the […]
Listening to Brother West
I was certainly curious last week to attend the Cornel West talk that is part of the TRU Student’s Commons Voices series, not knowing quite what to expect. I have only a weak association of West with his music and […]
Highs and Lows of Technical Problem Solving
There is little like the satisfaction, no that is to tame a word, the exhilaration of solving a problem that you had never addressed before, or thought you could not figure out. That is no great revelation. In the realm […]

Randomizing the SPLOT
The theme I set up for the SPLOT site is a landing page style one called Onsie (free one page responsive theme from Graph Paper Press). There is not much to it, a large welcome page, an image gallery for […]
On Theme Shopping
“What’s the best theme for my WordPress site?” Is there a equivalent to the “Best Camera is the one in your hand” assertion? Probably not. In our work on The You Show open seminar and providing sites for TRU staff […]
Building a Portfolio By Not Trying to Build a Portfolio
Doth I blog in riddle? I doth do. Any assertion made here is a squishy subjective question. But I’ve been coming to grips with this in the first weeks of the You Show Open Seminar I am running with Brian […]
Reversing Course Again, Doing it Dudley Right
In a post on my approach to building The Daily site am not thinking I was wrong about being wrong… does that make me right? And in a process of working on projects, does, does being right even matter? To […]
Theme Settling
I’m starting to settle into this Moesia Theme (you can see it in action on the Mickey test blog, this is one I set up to allow switching of themes). I like the big splash welcome: This can have text […]
And Thus, Dog Food Shall Be Eaten
Sure it’s cliché. And I have a dog house full of metaphors. But it seems a tad hypocritical to be asking participants in the You Show to be creating portfolios and sites and not be doing it myself. It’s one […]
