Who remembers the crazy of web badges in the mid 1990s… “Top 5%”! Back at Maricopa, I had slapped together my “stinking web badges” page (wow what old stuff). Got a new one today, but I am humbly flattered… This stinking web dog blog got listed as one of the top 100 educational educational blogs […]
We’re doing a live event in Second Life this afternoon. Yes, we will all sit in rows of chairs, and listen passively to a lecture… no wait a minute, that’s what some people think happens in there. Actually what is happening is that Henry Jenkins is making a first official in world appearance in visiting […]
For more than a year I have turned repeatedly to flickr’s creative commons search to locate images for presentations and projects. It never has failed to provide a large number of choices of powerful images to use. The problem is the search tools on flickr are one of their less elegant designed interfaces. You first […]
Most bloggers want comments, eh? After jumping through account forms, questionably readable captchas, how much is one’s spirit to comment crushed when a site mis-labels it as spam, and eats the entire comment. I was unable to overcome these obstacles yesterday. This started when I read Graham Atwell’s post on Creativity costs money in Second […]
I was a fence sitter on the value of coComment, which in theory allows you to track the comments you make on other web sites, blogs together. Interesting concept, yet often marginal execution, and today, frustration, as the browser wheel spun and spun and spun waiting for coComment to do whatever it does behind the […]
Many times I have said, er boasted, that pretty much form the time I started this ed tech computer work, I’ve made it a habit to give away, for free, just about anything I’ve made. I do believe it comes back to you. And it has, in the forms of invitations to visit some wonderful […]
Having successfully moved the entire CogDogBlog site— Lock Stock, And Kibble– to a new home at DreamHost, I started to look at my other online satellites. Since sometime back in say, 1997, I hoisted a personal domain I used for my now retired web consulting business, and also used for personal email and blogging. But […]
Since I mentioned in passing about Pachyderm, I recalled I have a small published example for those who have yet to see what it can do– this was for a panel session at the Pachyderm Users Conference, where I was asked to give some “expert” tips. I have “expert” in “quotes” since I know just […]
Arggh. This is the second time I am writing this post as I inadvertantly forgot to open a new tab for a Google search. Poof! went a complete draft! Thanks to Pat D for reminding me of an owed post about an Audacity workshop I did last week. This was a hands-on workshop for the […]
Well Scott, since you asked for it, a few weeks late, I did a hasty screencast this morning of poking through my Google Reader feeds, not as quickly as D’Arcy did with his use of Blogbridge. But I did pick up on Dr. Norman’s method, and got me a copy of iShowU which seems to […]
