The Making of The You Show Episode 0
Now that our first video is on the front stage, let’s do this the You Show way and talk about the making of this video. Brian and I knew we were on a hurry up ramp to at least get … Continued
CogDog The Blog
An early 90s builder of web stuff and blogging Alan Levine barks at CogDogBlog.com on web storytelling (#ds106 #4life), photography, bending WordPress, and serendipity in the infinite internet river. He thinks it's weird to write about himself in the third person. And he is 100% into the Fediverse (or tells himself so) Tooting as @cogdog@cosocial.ca

Try Out / Please Break TRU Writer?
Saying I am excited is an understatement for the tinkering that has produced the previously described TRU Writer site. I spent time on a Friday night just fiddling with functionality no one will ever notice. In summary, the notion of the SPLOTs I am working on here at TRU with Brian Lamb is… well here […]

#over / #notover … no one decides
Okay Connected Course students, assessment time. True or False? It’s actually some sort of inside out zen riddle. Pretty much the concept of a course as most all of us know through decades of conditioning is that classes/courses are clearly bounded in time. The school sets the schedule, the teacher gives out the final grade. […]

It Might Only Buy 2 Cups of Coffee in LA, But…
… support Hack Education, support Audrey Watters. Do I really need to spell out the reasons? Are you reading her year end summaries of educational technology? Do you get that she represents a consistent, often critical, unbiased, unbought by sponsorship voice in our field? So $10 a month from me may not go far. But […]

Nicecast Mixing
This is just a test for Rochelle Lockridge, who is getting her chops as a new DS106 radio DJ. It’s been a really really long time since I used Nicecast, so I just took a few minutes to refresh myself for the set up I used previously for being able to DJ music and cross […]

Stephen Goes Topless for MOOC Book Cover?
Oh chastise me for a sleazy blog post title, and worse, for probably some bad taste in Photoshoppery. But I see these things, my little teenage brain starts whirring, and then I have to drop what I am doing for a half hour of mashing up. A few days ago the OLDaily in my inbox […]

What if I had no featured image?
Perhaps a philosophical question? Nah. Just testing default featured image option for the Quick Featured Images plugin. This post has no featured image, nor any images at all in it (a rare thing). Ignore the laboratory spills.

Those Who Travel the Open Web Federation With Audio Cloaking Devices
The web is founded on both a philosophy and a technology the requires travels on the web to be open as in… viewable. Any device we use to see web content is able to construct that view because anyone, any device, any machine can see the underlying information. It’s the beauty of the browser menu […]

And There is Nixon and Elvis
Oh Google, what you do with my keywords. Unexpected images, then leading me down some memories. It’s mostly connected in loose strands of unexpected fibers. So I am working on an icon for a new secret half formed thing Brian Lamb and I are cooking up here at TRU. The metaphor is somewhat in the […]

Peek in the SPLOT: TRU Writer
So far on my fellowship here at TRU I have partially developed three Smallest Possible Learning Online Tools (again give all credit/blame for the acronym to Señor Borregoruido). I am not quite convinced they will evolve into anything usable, but hey, that’s what experimentation is about. A main principle we are trying to is give […]
