I just created a new page to explain and invite participating in the StoryBoax/PirateBox idea sketched out earlier — you can see the info at the project’s new home http://cogdogblog.com/storybox/. it has instructions there on how you can contribute to the project via a dropbox site, just in case I do not cross paths with […]
In preparation for my upcoming long road time, I’ve been organizing some audio books to fill some of the time/space. There is a veritable bag of gold from the Internet Archive. I also found a decent selection of free (public domain) Adventure Audio Books. A small problem with them is that these are really a […]
(one last post before I exit for camping!) For those in the ds106 Radio fold, this week’s drama has been the reported demise of our New/Old Radio Friend, Scottlo. The “death” part being a bit downloayed, it has been a fascinating thing to watch unfold as he (Scottlo? Otto? Frank?) examines, reinvents, who he is […]

Sure, I am in Canada, and people have that "nice" thing going, so I’m ready to believe. And their money is […]

I’ve had some people request a means to get updates from here via email, namely for the upcoming road trips. Yeah, e-mail. that dead thing. I looked at adding a subscription plugin (likely Subscribe2), but […]
Don’t ask me why I tooled around in Firebug, but my sarcasm spot sure needed some itching. I was looking at some of the works done for the web story assignment in Martha’s ds106 session (wither the URL for the class blog?). I was wondering if this time I could do the whole thing in […]
When I first saw (or correctly, when Ninmah sent me the link) Google’s home page today, first reaction, was “nice graphic”- a guitar version of the logo. Then I moved my mouse. The graphic made a noise. OISOME! The logo makes sounds. But wait, there’s more. You can record your sounds at a URL you […]
