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 […]
I always did this as a kid on the beaches of Ocean City, Maryland. I would use my shovels and plastic containers to build some kind of sand castle with big walls and a deep moat. I would place them just out of reach of the water in low tide, and the game was to […]
On a psychoanalytical scale, it’s likely problematic to profess love to a web site. Eff that. In yesterday’s early morning Mastodon scroll I saw a link to Anil Dash’s post that seemed to be, if you judged on title alone, an inquiry about NASA Artemis II photos. I gave it the quick scan scroll, which […]
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 […]
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 […]
A bit late for the monthly round of cleanups, but the mop is out. I have a few legacy domains running WordPress multisite that I am just going to bite my disgust of breaking links and let them go, after making sure they are full rounded up in the Internet Archive. I considered doing the […]
Indeed, this post is a test. With the move of this olde barge of a blog from Reclaim Hosting’s shared hosting to Reclaim Cloud, the WordPress Activity Pub seems not to by firing out via @barking@cogdogblog.com in Mastodon. On the publishing side, I see the WordPress wheels spinning in the process, but it never completes. […]
Links, links, links. Happy [Link Loving] Web Day, being the 36th birthday of the World Wide Web, as it needed to be named at that time. As a well established adult at that age, you are confiden— okay enough web anthropomorphizing. One of those things I tag as webserendipity happened a few days ago, and […]
Punful titles for $200, Alec. What is the word to describe when something tastes really, really good? Savor the question. And get ready for more dusty old web era meandering. I’m writing about maybe one of the oldest web 2.0 (can I even use that phrase without sounding out of fashion) concepts- bookmarking web sites […]
a blog/wiki paper for the July 11, 2003 Learning Objects Virtual Community of Practice (LOVCOP) teleconference Casting aside stuffy academic papers and endless PowerPoint bullets, we will present our ideas on RSS and learning objects via a collection of connected blog entries assembled in a wiki. Use the medium to communicate about the medium. Abstract: […]
