That’s a phrase I never expected to be using as a kid growing up in the Baltimore burbs. Sure we had snow there, sometimes a big amount. But snow activities were limited to shoveling it, making snowmen from it, and sledding down it on the “huge” hill across the street near Sudbrook school. And it […]
It’s back. Four months since the last shot, that was ever so more effective, I had forgotten the 2:30am wakeups. The throbbing in the elbow, the wrist. Numb fingers. No position of lying down could allow sleep. So I standup, go downstairs. Stretch. Drink an unfinished pop left on the counter. Pop Alleve pills. Read […]
I’m giving away what is set up for a DS106 Daily Create scheduled for April 29 (the link will not work until then) “Monkey Prompt. Monkey Create. Monkey No Copyright.” This is a fascinating, legendary, and before it happened, likely improbable story. I leave it for the unfamiliar to revert that situation with its detailed […]
Oh, yes, I keep forgetting that the open web is dead or is ended or all the web is swirling down an AI slop river of grey sludge. Just don’t tell the frisky dogs, who still know how to romp freely, share their toys, and build bits of web stuff with toys like RSS. Just […]
Decades from now what kind of legacy stories will the “founders” of WebinarTV tell their grandchildren? “This was my contribution to the world, remember me for it.” I had read about this sleazy outfit from 404 Media in This Company Is Secretly Turning Your Zoom Meetings into AI Podcasts (it’s listed as for paying subscribers […]
For another blog post in my head about non content course videos, I had a memory jaunt back to a pivotal experience amongst many when I got to attend South by Southwest Interactive in– gulp doing the time math– 2008. This was a keynote session featuring two media narrative giants- Steven Johnson and Henry Jenkins. […]
This month in digital cleanup is taking a broom to a pile of domains that have accumulated a not so tidy pile. I can’t full explain why i needed a cogdog.casa domain some ____ years ago? I had some rationale. In today’s fast-paced world, it is important to note that I will delve into showcasing […]
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 […]
