Lessons from Rewilding Landscapes… in the Wild

Profile Picture for CogDog The Blog CogDog The Blog on November 4, 2025November 5, 2025

If all the technical widgetry works, this post will be published November 4 at the time it will be revealed as its own post on the Reclaim Open Conference, as my slot on the “Blog-a-thon” day. In the saturated metaphor nature of this post, consider this post having being rooted here but transplanted to the […]

Dog Tricks, Doing It Daily

De/Reconstructing a DS106 Daily Create

Profile Picture for CogDog The Blog CogDog The Blog on November 3, 2025November 3, 2025

Sigh, it used to be an every day thing to not only do a DS106 Daily Create but blog how it was done (e.g. backtrack to 2017 on Shatnering a song). But given tomorrow’s Reclaim Open conference session celebrating the DS06 Daily Create at noon EST on “Remix is #4Life: We We all Love the […]

Coming up in a few days, me with a band of other DS106 Never Quitters, are on tap November 4 for a live conversation session for the Reclaim Open Conference – in that session sharing our love for and refusal to stop being part of the DS106 Daily Create aka The Daily Create (TDC). In […]

Doing It Daily, Photography

And Then, Ten (months of daily photos)

Profile Picture for CogDog The Blog CogDog The Blog on October 31, 2025October 31, 2025

Following an on time monthly post for September, BOO! Before the end of the last day of October, I’ve already got the full month’s photos posted, tagged, and organized. Indeed, things are looking positive for a 365/365 for the Daily Photo habit in 2025. Indeed on the 304th day og 2025, that is how many […]

Ask TomGPT For Getting Featured Images into Syndicated Posts

Profile Picture for CogDog The Blog CogDog The Blog on October 24, 2025October 24, 2025

Against my better judgement (oh it was against the judgment of the web site owner) I am setting up the old school FeedWordPress syndication bus for the crew painting the Confabulating/Combobulating site for the upcoming Reclaim Open conference. I have discovered finally a Chat AI thing I can live with and love, TomGPT which yes, […]

Get That Syndication Bus Rolling!

Start this thing up! For the Reclaim Open Conference there is a bunch of Conflabulating going on. Someone one had to get the FeedWordPress thing going, might as well leave it tot he dog. It’s been three or four forevers since I messed around with the FeedWordPress plugin but that old C Johnson magic might […]

CoolIris is BACK!

Profile Picture for CogDog The Blog CogDog The Blog on October 20, 2025October 20, 2025

It’s one thing to mutter promises of being back, it’s quite another to actually do it. Through an unlikely path (again), I have finally managed to resurrect the wall of media web presentation tool I ran with for a long while, that which was once known as CoolIris. This was something I fleshed out first […]

Right on Time, Nine (months of daily photos)

Profile Picture for CogDog The Blog CogDog The Blog on October 1, 2025October 1, 2025

September brings the season of change, and after almost missing the cut for August and July calling for last day uploads, the Daily Photo habit changed back to getting it done. Well that’s because a week or so ago I caught up on the backlog. Yes, no one I am sure gives one hoot or […]

The Far [AI nope] Side

Uh oh. It happened again. Another slide down cogdog rabbit holes of associative trails that cannot be created by any statistical means. It started with a podcast I did not even listen to (until later), one that I saw Wes Fryer post in Mastodon. Wes may have hear his ma talk about The Far Side– […]

Greetings From Wordland

Profile Picture for CogDog The Blog CogDog The Blog on September 24, 2025September 24, 2025

So I am listening to Dave Winer talk about WordPress and The fediverse, and just had to try Wordland and I am now using it to write a post— it’s gonna happen! What happens next? Is it perfectly imperfect?

Here I bark and growl about the web, edtech, photography, and other stuff that gets under my fur (more…).

Keep those e-cards and e-letters to coming to me via (finally in 2022!) my Bark to Me web contact form-- except requests to add links, insert ads, or write guest articles. I don't do that. Look around. If you bug for stuff listed here, and worse, repeatedly ask if igot your message you likely will get the treatment. Each message you send me with these requests that ignore this obvious warning will incur a $250 handling fee and a pile of dog poop left at your doorstep.

How do you like these inspirational quotes about blogging? (look to the right or below on a small screen) They are 100% created by a human being, no chatting AI was put to use, These are famous quotes about writing where I have just done a little bit of editing to change to a blogging theme. The idea is the same. For your entertainment, see the full set of Quotes On Blogging.
