We buy/get music for many reasons, to enjoy it, but for many people (I hope) there is an interest in knowing more about the musicians, the meaning of songs -hence the liner notes that used to be part of the LP or CD package. I am reading now Bob Dylan in America and caught note […]
A classic! Holy Snapping Duck Do! I just noticed I have not updated this since the long board was invented… You would not believe how terribly tardy the Victorian internet can be. Apologies to my regular readers! Even the little blue ones!. I am lost in a sea of pseudo-olde-english with responding to fanmail, hoping […]
Riffing from D’Arcy’s idea and cleaner sketch, I tried mapping out the blog history of cogdogblog.com April 19, 2003: CogDogBlog 1.0 launched on maricopa server jade.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/alan using MovableType April 26, 2005 Migrated blog to WordPress (1.5) leaving old one as archive and moving new one to jade.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/cdb – Content was exported from MovableType (comments were […]
This has nothing to do with McDonalds, but I loved the flickr image so much, I’m making a metaphorical stretch. No, this is a clarion call to Remember the Blog! As we get more distributed in where our e-attention goes, be it various social networks, virtual worlds, and more recently twitter, I’m wondering, as are […]
I’ve more or less resigned myself that I have little interest in doing intensive (or any) blog note-taking at conferences. It’s easy to get caught up in the idea of recording it for yourself and others, but it ends up feeling a bit like being one of the transcribing monks (the one with bad fingers). […]
The word has sneaked out a bit earlier than Brian and I had planned on the flickr-housed presentation we are doing Monday at the EDUCAUSE ELI meeting in San Diego. Beyond the Blog: ready For Prime Time was pitched at a look at where weblogs have gone since (slightly?) passing the novelty “aren’t the just […]
I’ve not had any luck starting any memes. And I expect my streak will continue. But I am curious if perhaps others would share via comments or in their own sites, What was your “Blog-Ha” Moment? (Blog Aha!) What was it the triggered the 10,000 watt light bulb going off in your head that screamed, […]
Matthew G. Kirschenbaum, English professor at University of Maryland, blogs about comment blogging a different mode of effective participation in the blog world simply by using the comment space of other weblog. Kirschenbaum cites how François Lachance effectively is part of the world of blogging without his having his own blog. Presumably François has in […]

Maybe I am new at blogging (as is everyone), but I have been hammering at the web since October 1993. Our MCLI web site has been in continuous “on” mode since then racking up stats. I’ve been commenting and sharing web sites since 1994 via our Bag of URLs and Web’s Eye View. In 2000, I more or less blogged by hand for a 6 month sabbatical from Arizona to New Zealand and Australia.
