Hi, Dave
Dave Cormier had a serious question. I cared. I provided a legitimate answer. This one’s for you, Dave. Are you here? Featured Image:
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
Archiving, SPLOT
Launched in 2009 Amazing/True Stories Reborn As a SPLOT in 2020
Breaking with the usual long winding blogging, let’s go directly to the demo. What was once a hand spun web site with some funky, no longer plugin called Cool Iris then a template-tweaked WordPress site with a google form to collect stories, is now, an open collection available to take stories in video, audio, or […]

SPLOT No /random
File this in the tiny bits of code of almost nil importance. But it also reinforces that in building things like my SPLOT themes for other people, I’m not totally in the power to foresee all the things people will try. One of the “features” built into TRU Writer, TRU Collector, and SPLOTbox is an […]

Aiming for the Joslin 50 Medal
With a bit of uncertainty on the exact date, I am fairly sure tomorrow marks a milestone making me eligible to apply for a bronze medal from the Joslin Diabetes Center. That means making it to 50 years living with Type 1 Diabetes (at least doubling the scare tactic Dr Silver at Camp Glyndon tried […]

Backblogging: The OE Global Work
Where did 7 months go? In January and February of this year, my consulting work was getting worrisome t-h-i-n. Starting in March, though, things picked up. A lot. And I’ve been behind on blogging about much of it. Gotta pick up the blog. Sometime before March I got a message from Paul Stacey, who I’ve […]

When a Blog Post About an Old Chair Turns into a Furniture Flea Market
The best things in web serendipity are unforeseen. That’s the only way it works. It’s all because of rug shampooing. Back in 2017 at the house in Arizona, I decided to get the old whitish carpet steam cleaned, actually paying someone to do it and not futzing with those rental ones. I piled the furniture […]
Nostalgia
From Hakatai On: My 1990s Web Servers
Was there a request for more web nostalgia? Bueller? Bueller? Oh, I mean… Weller! Martin Weller has his own cottage industry of 25 years of _______ going strong… heck he has books, swag, and now a podcast. All I got are some blog posts getting tagged thewebandme but I’m going for a 27 here. Because […]

Slo Mo Moments
Here’s something I’ve been playing with in mixing things up with daily photos- and it’s video. But not video. I am using the Slo Mo mode on the iPhone to just capture a bit of subtle movement, like a sluggish moment. This setting on the iPhone camera seemed like a gimmick to me, I maybe […]
Photography
Got Four (barely)
Now I am in the trap of my own making. I am going to post (if I do not fall over asleep) the top image from the batch (well maybe four photos) I just heaved on to flickr. It was a light load today, the photos only from an 11:30 am dog walk across the […]

Humble For Three
There was doubt. Fatigue. Second guessing. But having set out this daily photo posted daily plus a wee blog post. the bar was set on “get one posted before Wednesday.” Ooops, at 12:20am I am in Wednesday posting my Tuesday photos. Anyhow, today’s was just a small bit of nature, some deep powerful red color […]
