My Big Left Toe is in Facebook

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this July 20th, 2007 2:45 pm

Last time I checked, the toe was into learning objects, but now it is FB bound? Why not. Flickr is in Facebook. Slideshare just entered Facebook. Twitter has been there a while. My dog is in there. The parade goes on and on.
I am nodding in agreement with Stephen with some skepticism as to the [...]

No More Bad Behavior with Bad Behavior on the Prowl

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this July 16th, 2007 10:36 pm

Over the years, angry blog posts about spam is my most frequent blog post activity (well, until Twitter came out). I’ve been long resigned to scripted onslaughts of attempts to insert unwanted content into the comment space as a SFOL (Sad Fact of Life).
For the most part, I’ve had excellent luck with Spam [...]

Sick Mashup

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this July 16th, 2007 8:12 pm

No, this is not something to gross you out.
Who is Sick is a mashup of google maps and people’s self reports of their illness– it provides some data so supposedly you could find out if that queasy feeling in your stomach is…. well something a lot of people in the hood are keeping [...]

Beth Made Me Do It

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this July 16th, 2007 8:03 pm

What could be better than a good bone? How about Dogbook? Cadu is now part of my profile! Woo!

Linktribution to Beth, thanks!
So will everything find its way to Facebook? Will it consume Yahoo, Google, the very earth itself?

Spam Haiku

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this July 16th, 2007 12:30 pm

To the “person” who laboriously took the time, thought, passion, to craft this slow- roasted comment:
jshucwk muenyzck lfdjrkzv
pjirmq hyakosr
jcrensg fvdtahqo
I can only reply:
obɥɐʇpʌɟ ƃsuǝɹɔɾ
ɹsoʞɐʎɥ bɯɹıɾd
ʌzʞɹɾpɟl ʞɔzʎuǝnɯ ʞʍɔnɥsɾ
It will simmer forever in my Spam Karma 2 steamer, never to see the light of anything google-able.

Make That 9,999

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this July 15th, 2007 7:36 am

I pretty much just delete most twitter friends requests… I already track most of the folks I want to. But after about the 6th or 7th “Xxxxxx is following you” message from the same person, I got a creepy feeling like someone was breathing bad breath down my neck.
If I have little patience for blog [...]

3 Graphics + 1 XML Edit: Skin Your Twittercamp

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this July 15th, 2007 12:21 am

Okay, tonight’s blog parade is back to back twitter-a-thon. Among the tweets, Darren mentioned getting Twittercamp to run on his laptop. I chimed in a smart remark about stepping it up a notch and modifying the app with a custom skin.
Oops, I may have jumped ahead. Twittercamp is a nifty desktop application created with Adobe’s [...]

Time for a Twitter Blog Post

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this July 14th, 2007 10:55 pm

It’s just an un-scientific hunch, but twitter seems to “got game”. Jaiku flickered and faded. Pownce came out with a nice interface, threads, but I’m still tuned to twitter. It’s this dog’s rule that there is never a ‘best’ technology, just the one you happen to be using at the time. It’s going to all [...]

SlideFlickr- At Long Last

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this July 13th, 2007 11:17 pm

Just when you think you’ve seen enough cool flickr add on tools, 20 more pop up in your reader. SlideFlickr is very handy- ir can generate code for emdedding and flickr set into an external web page, but you can also create embeddable shows based on tags an d other parameters.
Or as the site [...]
