There are lots of things that are “on” the web (doh) but let me ask if you think of the things you do as being “of” the web. Bear with this perhaps semantic nitpicking or old fogey wishing for the good ole days of the simple times when it was the wild wild web west. […]
Just some quick catchup on stops in Saskatoon and last night here in Winnipeg where people not only opened their opens, filled my tunny, but wanted to get their first experience broadcasting on ds106 radio. cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog Last Friday it was at Rick Schwier’s home in Saskatoon […]

You wont get for down the road if you only look at the rear view window, but it is a good idea to glance at it every now and then. It is almost 5 months since writing about the odyssey I am on and my leaving my job after 5 years at the NMC. There […]
cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog Without some large foundation funding to pay my AT&T bill, here in Canada I am SOL for doing life ds106 radio broadcasts from the road. But on the drive yesterday to Regina from Saskatoon, I decided to record a short audio recording. Here are some […]

cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog I’ve spent an enjoyable evening visiting George Siemens in Edmonton= happy accident as the original plan was to meet mid afternoon for coffee and I was going to truck on to North Battleford to meet Rob Wall, but I was late getting to town– I […]

Damn, Canada is a big place. I’m 10 days in, and thought maybe I was 1/3 the way, but looking at this map (pink is where I have been, green where I think I am going) I am lucky if I have traversed a quarter of the Great Baconated North. Heck, Looking at where I am now in Calgary, I am not even east of where I started in Arizona!
Beyond the weekly stats, the blogging here has been light, I know (and my Mom has told me so on the phone). The results are clear, no blogging and the peeps go away:
One obvious insight so far is when I was at home how much time I got to not only blog, but also to read and stay in tune with my networks. With some days of being on the road 8, 10 hours, and then wanting to spend time visiting with the people I am seeing– well, the blogging has slid down the list, but my most reliable updates are daily (network providing) photos at http://flickr.com/photos/cogdog.
But I am damned if I will apologize for not blogging. I may slow down, but will never stop, and when I do get some time, look at, there is a backlog lined up.
Yet, that was not the goal when I started typing in this box, it is to try and get some thanks in to all of the people I have gotten to spend time with on the Canada leg, this stretch special because there are among the friends I have known the longest online. Plus I have had blue sky weather the whole way.
