Darth Vader is baring his soul in blog format

Darth Vader is an immaculately conceived knight-bastard imbued with magical powers who rules the known galaxy at the right hand of the merciless and brilliant Emperor Palpatine I. Though he maintains palaces on both Coruscant and Vjun, Vader spends most of his time travelling aboard Executor, the [...]

On The (Beach) Road

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this June 10th, 2005 9:30 am

The blog may be blinking in and out for a week. I’m currently visiting family in San Diego through Monday (look for some pix soon of Sani, my step-son’s cute ‘little’ Great Dane puppy) and a hope flight back to Phoenix to catch a Tuesday morning flight to Hawaii for the 2005 NMC Summer Conference.

Wiki Live Now Dead

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this June 9th, 2005 9:10 am

Will deftly spotted and posted about a site that showed in real-time the update action over at WikiPedia:
You can see the line for each edit in Wikipedia as it’s made. In the few moments it’s taken to create this post, over 80 edits have been made about everything from the Pakistani Coast Guard to Keropok [...]

Self Spamming

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this June 8th, 2005 10:33 pm

For an upcoming presentation, I was doing some random clicking at Blogger to find some tacky or “bad” blog examples (they are out there, stuff you’s not want to be on screen when the boss wanders in).
It’s sad how many URLs there are wasted by lik spammers who create Blogger.com sites just to spam them [...]

The Un-Truth at the Uncyclopedia

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this June 8th, 2005 10:08 pm

If anyone is more into sarcasm than myself, they are hanging out at the Uncyclopedia “the content-free encyclopedia that anyone can edit”. A total loving mimicry of the WikiPedia, at the Uncyclopedia at least there need be no debates about authoritative resources since it proudly claims to be full of lies. Just look at [...]

Scott Shot Object

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this June 8th, 2005 6:23 pm

In Executing Learning Objects, Resurrecting Sharing and Reuse, Scott Leslie takes some well thought shots at the sacred cow term of “learning objects” (and his animation of the “execution” could use more blood, guts, and squeals).
As part of a workshop for the BC Educational Technology Users Group, Scott has nicely posted his materials in wiki [...]

Stopped Jots

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this June 7th, 2005 7:46 am

I was experimenting with the Jots.com bookmark and publish to weblog API, but as duly noted in comments by Will and James, it was turning my blog reading into more of a linkatorium:
I’d rather get it by subbing your Jots feed rather than your blog feed.
True, so I am shutting of the publishing of “Today’s [...]

The New Spam Book’s Here!

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this June 6th, 2005 8:48 am

Borrowing again on my vast array of literary resources, paraphrashing from 1979’s Steve Martin’s The Jerk:
Navin C.D.B. Johnson: The new spam book’s here! The new spam book’s here! This is the kind of spontaneous publicity I need! Casino, Pills, and Porn links in my blog! That really makes somebody! Things are going to start happening [...]
