I always did this as a kid on the beaches of Ocean City, Maryland. I would use my shovels and plastic containers to build some kind of sand castle with big walls and a deep moat. I would place them just out of reach of the water in low tide, and the game was to […]
CogDogBlog awakes from a case of the techno-flu. It got into the server and the database requests were coughing for 2 weeks — no just the tired blog operator. The only way out of not blogging is picking the thing up (old story). In that flu fog many key dates were missed – the date […]
It’s easily taken the 20+ years I have known Dean Shareski to figure out the secret to be on his podcast — I had to be a Canadian, which is something I finally accomplished in September 2019. The big moment for my fame happened April 22, when we met at the Hive Coffee Shop on […]

I accept being way out of sync with the current state of connected communications, holding stubbornly to ideas as old as a well chewed bone that no one else desired. An old bone, indeed. Hey, beyond bloggingaboutblogging I invent bloggingaboutnotblogging (newly minted tag)? A well worn topic here is the idea of commenting on blogs […]
It eeked out today. Why even mention? I have a reason, a plan. But it was meant to be this past week was old school blogging the way I wrote them in say 2004. Short bits of anything. Everything. Mostly text. Where the “blogiverse” as it was called poured attention, into their own blogs, and […]
Howdy May day for all those dancing around the poles. My dance was for getting the last few photos uploaded tonight to for another perfect month of daily photo action seen in the album and blogged like the months south of April– that’s 120 on the 120th day of the year, April 30, 2026. I spot a […]
