A One Time Political Bark

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this October 22nd, 2006 9:54 pm

One of the long simmering blog posts not yet written has to do with the settling on of some personal self defined rules of their own blog. If you keep at it long enough, you settle into a self defined rule set, maybe not even knowing it.
One of mine is that I do not [...]

PicLens Photo Viewing Plugin

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this October 21st, 2006 7:19 pm

I think this came via TechCrunch- PicLens is a web browser plugin that allows you to view photos form several services ( Flickr, Facebook, Photobucket) and image search results from Google, Yahoo, and Ask.com in a full screen mode, that keeps a record of images viewed (an icon strip below).
Right now it is available [...]

The Levelator Rocks!

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this October 19th, 2006 10:19 pm

Thanks to a del.icio.us for:cogdog tag from Scott Leslie, I took a quick peak at the Levelator, a free tool offered from GigaVox Media. It’s a tool developed and applied by the pros at ITConversations, designed to adjust audio levels common in interview situations where one person’s audio levels are much higher or lower than [...]

dog blogged out

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this October 19th, 2006 12:21 am

I guess I’ve had nothing to write.
Actually, my attention has been corralled elsewhere, with multiple daily posts for the NMC Campus Observer with our 12 day Second Life Symposium on Impact of Digital Media. I’ve been recording all of our streamed live audio sessions, making sure chat transcripts get posted, taking tons on in world [...]

Wikispace Wonkiness?

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this October 15th, 2006 5:28 pm

Is it just me or is anyone else having trouble accessing their Wikispaces sites?
I am scrammbling to post content for a session I am doing next week for the K12 Online Conference, and for the last few days, Wikispaces is unable to keep track of any of my wikis- in editing, I am asked [...]

Cleaning Gigs

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this October 7th, 2006 10:18 pm

I was doing some very short video editing last week using iMovie, and could not figure out why I only had 4 Gb of space to import from my DV camera (which shrank to 1.5 after grabbing 10 minutes of content)– until I looked at the info on my MacBookPro– and saw that my 80 [...]

Autumn is EduConferencePalooza Time

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this October 5th, 2006 2:09 pm

Leaves are falling (somewhere) and it’s time to get the luggage out and truck off to an educational conference. Or not, stay at home, put your feet up, and jump into an online conference! This dog’s bowl is a bit full the next few months of conference, and conference-like activity.
Sorry, but I am likely the [...]

PowerPoint is 2.0-fied with SlideShare

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this October 5th, 2006 1:40 pm

Very cool– after reading on TextCrunch about Introducing SlideShare: Power Point + YouTube I checked out the site to see its one of those betas. But you can ask to get in, adn I got an account before I had finished lunch.
TextCrunch is right- this is YouTube for PowerPoint, even the interface is a dead [...]

India to Arizona

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this October 2nd, 2006 12:41 am

It’s easy to blog about bad tech service/support and even easier to glaze over when it goes the opposite way. I’ve had flaky experience with my satellite internet connection at my cabin (the last time I even tried customer support, I was 2 hours on hold before expiring from fatigue).
So I was ready for more [...]
