On Conferencing

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this January 31st, 2008 4:03 pm

My current report card might read, “Alan needs to improve his attention and focus at professional conferences, and perhaps work on a more positive attitude”

On the heels of the 2008 ELI EDUCAUSE annual conference in San Antonio, it’s time to reflect once again on the conference experience. Be reminded, this is my own take, and [...]

A Fracking Understatement posted 31 Jan ‘08, 8.30am MST PST on flickr
Twitter is surely loosing fans left and right, and really ought to be sharing more info than this crappy screen. Heck, I;’d rather see the cat in the server picture.
I know! It was the severe twittering at the ELI EDUCAUSE conference that did [...]

I’m woefully, no utterly, no massively badly behind on any sense of conference blogging at EDUCAUSE ELI Conference, but am eager for some plan time tomorrow to support back posting from the plane

Blow Up Your Photos With Piclens

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this January 30th, 2008 11:27 pm

No, the title is not a bad TSA joke (are there any good ones?), but a lovingly statement of joy for yet another cool photo tool. Piclens has been around a while but only for Safari on Max OS X, but now it works as an extension for Firefox on Mac or Windows.

When Life Gets Your Down, Despair

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this January 26th, 2008 11:42 pm

It has been a loooooong time since I looked at the Demotivational Posters from Despair, which I can remember from way back when the web was young and we spun HTML by hand. For a lover of sarcasm, this is one of the highest art forms, taking potshots at those motivational posters the PHBes put [...]

Off to San Antonio

Plenty of Instructions at the Alamo posted 7 Nov ‘06, 9.40am MST PST on flickr
Do quiet non smoking men only have to remove their hats? Why do women get to keep their hats on? Can we take pictures?

This sign from the Alamo hopefully is not hung at the ELI conference venue.
Tomorrow (or is [...]

Ignore the Numbers?

Ignore the Numbers? posted 24 Jan ‘08, 2.26pm MST PST on flickr
If Hasbro is strategic, they might do something smart to acknowledge almost 50,000 game players of Scrabulous.
Or if they listen to lawyers and PHBs, they will piss of 50k people. I’m one.
Cluetrain, anyone?

Crikies, they can likely run the whole company off of [...]

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this January 23rd, 2008 12:00 am

Dusty, Neglected Social Networking Web Sites

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this January 21st, 2008 12:13 pm

So many social networks, so little time… I do not know about you, humble blog reader, but I have truly lost track of all the social networking sites I have signed up for over the last few years. I am using the term “social networking” sites loosely, maybe they are social software, maybe they are [...]
