A Little Magic
No one really reads this blog, I hope. I am testing this. Let’s say we need to add some documentation here for doing email…
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

pi.pe-ing photos
Thanks to a tweet from Doug Belshaw I found a nifty service for moving photos between different photo sharing sites- while functionally useful, pixelpipe or http://pi.pe is an interesting model to look at data transfer. https://twitter.com/dajbelshaw/status/231787637093064705 You authenticate with the service via either Facebook or a Google account (I hear you cringing), and then in […]

My Blog Talks To You
cc licensed ( BY NC SD ) flickr photo shared by Leonard John Matthews I stumbled in my usual accidental way to a technology that makes your blog be able to be heard as audio via its RSS feed, via text to speech service Vocalyze. I was actually googling around for code to help us […]

Everything is a Repeat
As part of our video section os ds106 we have our students watch part two of Kirby Ferguson’s Everything is a Remix so they have an appreciation for the common borrowing of cinematic elements as well as to help them question the notion of “originality” (we ask thema s well to look at Raiders of […]

Reading About Talk Radio
cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog My current book reading is The New Kings of Nonfiction, a collection edited by my This American Life hero, Ira Glass (who oddly has no self maintained online presence I can find). It’s a collection of stories that weave in the kind of storytelling and […]

Crawling Through A Small Aperture: Forced Riding Mountain Lion
cc licensed ( BY NC SD ) flickr photo shared by Cyberslayer Where is the cheese? I really do not give a rats fart about operating systems. I’d rather know they were not even there, just like I do not dwell too much on the combustion of fuel inside my truck engine or how well […]

UBC Student Views on Wikipedia Writing Project
Sigh, July somehow gobbled up my momentum from my time spent at the University of British Columbia in June, even with the fun of rebooting the old CAREO service in Brian Lamb’s [old] office. But as follow-up to my interview with UBC History professor Tina Loo I had also interviewed three of her students to […]

Syndication Machines (plus syndication of syndication)
cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by psd It’s sweetly ironic that despite the almost consistent reprisal of “RSS being dead” maybe that’s in terms of outward perception. Down at the bowels of the systems of internet flow, and I see plenty of it in highly functional action via my own small corner […]

makes use of cc licensed ( BY NC ) flickr photo by bitchcakesny: http://flickr.com/photos/bitchcakes/5187928447/ Now that the 2012 Summer of ds106, Camp Version is over, I spent some time trying to pull some numbers from the machine, given how crazy folks are about analytics and massive.

Not That Kind of Flip
cc licensed ( BY NC ND ) flickr photo shared by Randy Wade When you blog something, it can often by the metaphorical quarter baked idea. When I wrote suggesting that in looking at ideas such as a flipped classroom, why weren’t we seeing more flipping of professional conference formats? Why cannot we do this […]
