Today marks a new phase in my work plate, as my part time contract work in community engagement last year with Open Education Global is now a full time gig. I’ve not had that since 2012. Since then, I have been fortunate to land a long series of paid consulting (that dirty word) work with […]
I’ve not have much time over last days weeks more to do much SPLOT tinkering (well there is one experimental feature in the works). But I got a burst of positive energy this week from the passing of a green Scooby Doo type van labeled Reclaim Roadshow. Some tweets were spotted about their current online […]
What could be better news that Kirby Ferguson is launching a new wave of Everything is a Remix? Even if I do feel old seeing Tik Tok (I’m not there, but I get it) (that of course cannot be true) (except for being old). What happens when something you created long ago gets peeled back […]
Has everyone had a sufficient amount of time over the last year gazing into the grids of Zoom et al live sessions? Can we do anything differently? I’ve been pushing this with an experiment in my community engagement work for Open Education Global, trying all my tricks and methods to get activity going in our […]

For everything wrong about the 2021 web, the candle in the small window is the unexpected click that results in an expression of Neo-like “Woah” – is that truly possible in a web browser? Once the bar was set kind of low to be amazed by the web, just a collection of not so stupid […]
We use it so frequently that perhaps we do not marvel that web search works. Especially the one where the brand name becomes the verb. In that googling something, typing a few words into a box, pressing a button, and getting a long stream of positive results. And of course “works” is the laden term […]
The blog keeps on keeping on, though I see in recent posting, there’s a lot of looking back, and one (well this one) can start worrying about being seen as too “back in the day” mindset. Time to flip the scopes (well there is a lingering draft of one more retro post). The old CogDogBlog […]
It must say something without saying that getting to the end of one book a year is blog worthy. Let it be said unsaid, but there is my bookmark in the index pages at the end of Errol Morris’s Believing is Seeing (Observations on the Mysteries of Photography). The path here was one of those […]
