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, […]
“Raildog is the Ansr” but the question is how the heck did I end up following a curiosity trail where logic and the dull stasticical parroting of GenAI leaves a mind wanting? I blame / credit Jim Groom. He posted today of his pleasure in the saner mode of travel. It got me thinking to […]
This is prefacing statemen , Doug! I am not criticizing you, I think the world of you. I’ve read Doug Belshaw’s writings for longer than I can pinpoint, blogs, articles, papers, tweets (what are they?). I continue to read regularly what flows in from the RSS feed of his newly redone Ghost-ified blog which has […]
Oh no, yet another tirade on attribution, or lack there of, of open licensed media. Isn’t this post a repeat episode? Something about Always Be Attributing? But as they never say in tinseltown, “inspired by real non attributed images.” I saw a Mastodon post linking to the Why Join W3C page for the W3 Consortium. […]
How about a break in the blog action for some old school WordPress Tech mumbo jumbo? I did not hear any complaints. RSS is always on the plate here, so there’s a connection. Long ago in a web not so far away, I built this thing called Feed2JS (web site no more, but an aging […]
My dreams continue of an epic long blog post story of my journeys through digital storytelling, yet every thread ends up being a tangent worth chasing worthy of its own post. Yesterday it was the CoolIris gizmo I resurrected for 50 Web Ways to Tell a Story and today it was a pivotal conference I […]
I have been head drafting posts (where the ideas just swirl around, sometimes slipping down the drain) I have been contemplating one about my now long path with digital storytelling. That one will be another Long Running Blab for sure. But it also got me thinking about one of the pinnacle things I hatched, spawned […]
And today I felt a rush that the clever editors of the New York Times were big fans of CogDogBlog. It had to be, as I was featured apparently in today’s Connections game (of which I have never seen nor will as its for subscribers). The first clue came in a Mastodon call out from […]
Blogs are Back?! Folks are dusting off their dormant blogs! It’s a new thing! A Revival! Strap yourself in, my three readers, this post is going to be a douzy. Back to blogging, Huh? Who left? Not to brag, but why not, this blog has gone on steadily– HEY WAIT A MINUTE I GOT DATA […]
Edtech zombies may live out there somewhere, but are oft forgotten, maybe now arising out of some obscure LLM garbling, but heck, research papers can summon them too. Who better to shine a light in the creepy fields than Stephen Downes? His March 1o OLDaily post surfaced Open Education Is the New Punk: A Subversive […]
