Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this February 28th, 2008 5:38 pm

Today I spent at UBC, first an informal meeting with some course designers where Brian Lamb and I did some blog talk, and my bit from Northern Voice Not Cat Diaries / Lets Rip WordPress Apart to Make a Web Site, and an informal romp through Second Life.
Then it was over to the Land and [...]

Where in the World is Google Reader? by cogdogblog posted 28 Feb ‘08, 9.24am MST PST on flickr
Why has Google Reader been banished from my navigation? Its not even listed on the More Google Products - it seems to not exist.
Though it is alive and well at

Search ‘n Spell by cogdogblog posted 26 Feb ‘08, 9.16pm MST PST on flickr

Google is so damn smart- it took this mangled low light typing and managed to sort out what I was looking for:

Northern Voice Emergency Warning

Northern Voice Emergency Warning by cogdogblog posted 26 Feb ‘08, 12.26pm MST PST on flickr
The signs at UBC needed some updates

One more NV thing- I loved the explicit warnings in the UBC auditorium for Fire and Earthquake, but felt there were not enough warnings for Northern Voice.

I’m relishing the fantabulous reflection on Northern Voice by Chris Lott and Jennifer Jones and Brian Lamb and Jim Groom and …

The Moose Has Left The Building

Visual Facilitation art by Nancy White
Such a high was the 2008 Northern Voice Conference and how quickly it seems gone. By far, this surpasses by experience her two years ago, my first Moose ride. Its as much for the gathering of creative people that seem to be everywhere in Vancouver, the low overhead personal way [...]

Trackback Love

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this February 22nd, 2008 4:12 pm

At the Northern Voice Tiki party, Scott Leslie wowed us (well I was wowed) with his rendition of a poem only geeks could grok, called “Trackback Love”. I grabbed some video with my little Canon Powershot- the lighting is awful but the audio is not bad.
