Things done during my stint as an Open Learning Scholar at Thompson Rivers University (Oct 2014 – March 2015)
A few weeks ago, as a favor for a friend buying a computer, I did something unusual. I went inside a mall. My formative late teen age years were spent at Security Square Mall in Baltimore (named for its proximity to the headquarters of the Social Security Administration). My last job before leaving Arizona was […]
A meandering romp through the relationships of us and our tools to what it means to develop/use technologies that are what Audrey Watters write as “habitable, sustainable, and healthy”. So oft uttered in the edtech field, having done my share of uttering in the early years– “Technology is Just a Tool.” It’s. Almost. As. Frequent. […]
An endless theme in the CogDogBlog House, promoting the radical, all so time consuming habit (invisible sarcasm tags here) of giving other people attribution for what they share. Eight years ago I hoped I had coined linktribution. Never caught on. But since I’m on a flickr roll as it seems from the confusion of licensing […]
I’ve done my research. It’s a trope- Everything’s Better With Cows. Watch the elegantly (student) produced animation story below. Retweet it. Facebook it. StumbleUponIt. It’s great. Yes, I landed there via a Guy Kawasaki tweet to his link farm. https://twitter.com/GuyKawasaki/status/538020816420888576 And that’s where most people aim. The Big Final Shiny Thing. I appreciate these kinds […]
Out of a great meeting today arranged by Michelle Harrison with a group of TRU Instructional Designers, came a new idea for our SPLOT collection. Blame/credit Brian Lamb. But it would facilitate a space where someone could seed the beginning of a ? story? discussion ? brainstorm? and anyone could click to clone a copy […]
Two weeks ago I was in Vancouver for the ETUG Fall 2014 Workshop, what a great gathering and with their un-conference format, a refreshing experience from the typical conference grueling treadmill present-o-rama format. I was not sure I would stand up an pitch a session, but I was sort of prepared, I had brought the […]
There might be some value in my sloppy keyboarding skills beyond humorous typos and misplaced punctuation that drives Sandy Brown Jensen batty. I just mistyped a WordPress URL and cracked a lid on something. I even forget know why I was looking at the WordPress Settings on a project site, maybe I was checking something […]
Insert here placeholder for dogfooding metaphor That’s my weak play at irony. I’m fleshing out an idea for a project I hope to start tinkering with; normally I might want to have a bit more to show before talking about it, but oh… the irony. The name for it came to me while driving around […]
Trying here a test of my Comparator Tool blogged/flogged yesterday. While brushing my teeth last night, the idea came to me I was thinking about doing this the wrong way- an iframe is the route. Let’s see if this works. The code that does that looks like (yes it needs a noframes option):

creative commons licensed ( BY-SA ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog I knew my photos from the Gopher Hole Museum would come in handy one day! Blame D’Arcy Norman, he sent me there. Advanced warning of a long scrolling post with lots of screenshots and smattering of technobabble. One of the project-ish things on my […]
