Warnock’s Dilemma and Variants

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this May 5th, 2006 2:35 pm

By sheer acts of curious link following, I ended up today learning about Warnock’s Dilemma via Classy’s Kitchen:
Warnock’s Dilemma is the situation you face when people don’t comment on your postings:
The problem with no response is that there are five possible interpretations:
1. The post is correct, well-written information that needs no follow-up commentary. There’s nothing [...]

WordPress Theme Philosophy

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this May 4th, 2006 11:33 pm

I thought it was longer, but it was only a bit over a year ago I switched from my MovableTyle CogDogBlog over to its incarnation in WordPress. Having rolled out perhaps 5 or 6 other WP blogs I was thinking of blogging out my strategy for dealing with some of the coolest aspects of Wp, [...]

PodPress is the Plug

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this April 28th, 2006 10:28 am

My commenters Joe and D’Arcy were right- PodPress is dah thing for generating iTunes ready feeds from WordPress. I should have looked no farther than my own blog here which is where I had installed it! It does not require a custom replacement file for the WP standard distribution, has better configuration, and built in [...]

Better Podcast Feeds with iPodCatter Plug-in

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this April 27th, 2006 5:37 pm

Just found the WordPress plug-in WP-iPodCatter which creates iTunes ready RSS feeds from a WordPress blog. This became necessary as I dabbled with posting my first enhanced podcast file, and noticed that WordPress never put the *.m4a file in as an enclosure. It turns out, WP is pretty limited on what it seeks for enclosures [...]

Stepping In My Own Poop

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this April 7th, 2006 9:01 am

Sometimes, or maybe frequently, a post here is done rather rashly, impulsively, and often stupidly wrong. I step in my own dog poop.
There’s nice places on the net where nice people say only nice things. Not here. Hopefully reader glean my “style” as my way of trying to provoke discussion, controversy, and get a reaction. [...]

When Silence Is Loud On The Net

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this March 30th, 2006 12:03 pm

Like thousands, tens of thousands, maybe just short of McDonald’s order of magnitude (Billions and Billions) of other people, I am feeling the gaping information void of Stephen Downe’s hiatus. OLDaily been a mainstay of my ed tech input for so long I cannot remember, and it was Stephen’s work that opened my eyes to [...]

Blog + Furl + RSS: Cinema Class Glu’d

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this March 28th, 2006 1:21 pm

Where did all the conversations go about “EduGlu” apps? Maybe people are doing it rather than writing about it…
Well, here is a nice example from the Maricopa trenches– Shelley Rodrigo teachers a Cinema Class at Mesa Community College and has pretty much set up her class across a trio of Web X.0 tools. The course [...]

Hey “No Cat”- Just What is Conversation?

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this February 22nd, 2006 11:31 am

The notion of “distributed conversations” in blog space seems to rear its head on some cycle. It always seems to boil down to a polarization of those who find some level of comfort in the chaotic widely distributed notion and those that seem to covet the notion that it needs to be nicely organized in [...]

Tagged Too

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this February 18th, 2006 6:42 pm

Like Scott, i believe I was tagged too by Sir D’Arcy. (Hah Scott, I’m not letting you kill the game of tag!)
Four jobs I’ve had

- Soil Compaction Tester

The Dissonance of “Blogs in Education”

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this February 14th, 2006 10:15 pm

It’s only been a few days since a number of fabulous presentation as conversation sessions on blogs, social software, and education here in Vancouver (I am still lingering at chez Lamb). D’Arcy has already posted a superultimate summary that distills the summaries quite nicely, and I am one of many where at our UBC and [...]
