CogDogBlog

On rummaging through some bookmarks, I saw a number of sites I could barely remember, and a number of them were ones I had created accounts. This is the beginning of social software amnesia. For some reason, I decided to go back to one, slidez, which is not all that unique, but certainly works elegantly [...]

I love the idea of dotsub.com user generated video captioning — In the spirit of blog efficiency/laziness, I am copy/pasting what I‘ve just posted at the NMC Campus Observer:

A few weeks ago we shared about a nifty new web video concept where uploaded video is set up so speakers of other languages can add localized [...]

Some interesting and funny too comments came in to my mini exploration of twitter friends to followers ratio. And vavoom, todays inbox has about 6 more friends notifications; of them maybe one I know and added.
But get this, for those want to push the ratio even higher, is TwitterAdder with a new record of [...]

I think this is worthy of a t-shirt, an award, a bumper sticker, a cartoon, a short story…

Let’s take a vote. I vote for… “shunned”.
My mom is not on facebook!

At one time I bemoaned a future of having multiple blogs to spread my self around. That was so 1.0. I have two personal ones (one just for running or complaining about it), three ones at NMC for various projects, plus our main drupal site which has blog like writing duties, plus others I am [...]

I’m too tired to even properly research this, but lately (?? weeks) I’ve been unable to get flickr to properly post blog posts to several of my WordPress blogs. Flickr keeps reporting my password may need to be changed, which is bunk as I know they are correct.
With a little digging, I found an answer [...]
