I never saw this one coming. And it’s not really going anywhere. But I have a shop. I have items for sale. I have a whopping seven t-shirts for sale at cogdog’s tees. And I do not make a bloody cent of profit. I am aiming to show I have zero business savvy, not a […]
Nobody but me is tracking, and a delightful thing for my streak to keep on its Bond-like precision in going purrfect for daily photos in 2026 (on the heels of a purrfect 2025) as recorded in the album and blogged on the 90th day of the year March 31, 2026. And this month there was […]
For an ever diminishing number of web heads, this phrase will generate a connotation with not even an explanation or link needed — “Bags of Gold.” Anyone? I for one was in that Robson Square conference room in Vancouver at the 2009 OpenEd Conference, for Gardner Campbell’s talk on No Digital Facelifts: Thinking the Unthinkable […]
I saw the link to Anil Dash’s End Game for the Open Web shared Friday, scanned it quickly. I’ve been a long fan of this man’s writing and staking a position. He sure outlined the ills of the game. The open web is something extraordinary: anybody can use whatever tools they have, to create content […]
Some obsessions are healthy. That’s what we re-assure ourselves. Thanks of course to the King of the Blog Jim Groom for posting today a photo to jump started this post. If you are confused, well, better just stay that way. But Jim shows the ds106 call sign but noting where it lives in the world. […]
Among the best reasons to own your own domain and host a web site is to be able experiment, acts that are verboten on your easy, slick, hosted spiffy site. I will take tinker-ability over ease any minute of the day. If you are unaware of the Small Web, maybe just stay that way. You […]
Sometimes I spot things in my information flows that just feels like I have something akin to spidey sense, not the sensation of danger, but the sensation of, let’s call it “web woah.” I claim no accuracy nor super power (c.g. relevance). I felt that when I read a post by Terry Godier about his […]
Hello and greetings as far as one could be from the hub of Being Relevant. It is blissfully calm here, away from the bright lights of LinkedIn and its burdens of reposting liked comments. I am so out of the latest news on Blue Sky, how can I breathe? I also am free of having […]
So many times I was at the 33rd Street in Baltimore to watch sports at Memorial Stadium and no one told me it was The World’s Largest Outdoor Insane Asylum. Fitting, the inmates never know. The structure I knew is gone; I never knew it was first called “Venable Stadium.” Apparently in this very englightening […]
On Saturday morning I was stuck getting a machine to work. For a change this was not a web thing, it was a real machine. A few years ago, we bought a Champion Semi-Trash Water Pump but I had never used it. With the lack of snow, our front slough (a pond) is really low, […]
