My wandering down into Web Rabbit Holes of interest happend much more frequently than the rate of blog posts. It’s where I find the most sanity in the pile of poop much (but not all) of the web is piled with. It started with a Mastodon post by Bonni Stachowiak referencing her own post on […]
Indeed the golden dreamy soft gel focused ideal of the leisurely retirement lifestyle, you know, out there shopping for vinyl or sitting at cafes writing novels (hee hee, that pingback is for you, Martin). Nope not me, I am still at full time work at Open Education Global and the real work of blogging here […]
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 […]
Let’s play the game of quibbling about how memory works. In ever so epically and humanly and Audrey-ly written, in her recent post Foolin’ Audrey Watters says: I sometimes joke that my brain is full of all sorts of stuff like this — useless stuff, one could easily dismiss it as — which takes up the brain-space […]
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.

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 […]
So many times I was at the 33rd Street in Baltimore to watch sports at Memorial Stadium and no one told me it was The World’s Largest Outdoor Insane Asylum. Fitting, the inmates never know. The structure I knew is gone; I never knew it was first called “Venable Stadium.” Apparently in this very englightening […]
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 […]
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 […]
