Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
There’s something I love about web generators. Not the ones that make power, but ones that power the creation of stuff. The stuff of the useless web. Everything from the tombstones to metal band names to church signs to luchador names. Maybe it’s because people make them for no other reason than because they can. […]
In 2013 the idea that was a domain first was twigit.info (not worth clicking, I let it go). I scraped in the bowels of my hosting account and found the remains of the holding page: I found some notes in a Google Doc and am a little curious I had a sub title of “a […]
It was almost a request… Anyone got some good ideas for a @DomainsConf radio bumper? Going live on #ds106radio Wednesday for a chat with @mburtis about her keynote. — Jim Groom (@jimgroom) March 13, 2017 Though this may not be the bumper they were looking forward to, but the sound of the JJ Cale original […]
Oh Brad. I think the policy here at CogDogBlog could not be more clear on the front door. But still, you persist in your inane request. So here is your treatment for your email bearing the subject line “Accepting Guest Posts on cogdogblog.com?” On Tue, Mar 7, 2017 at 8:15 AM, Brad S. <brad@crappyurl.poop> wrote: […]
Is there an expression for missing something obvious right in front of your eyes? This happened earlier this year and slipped through the blog cracks. I was doing some research for a healthcare rant I eventually published over there at medium.com. I had looked up some stats for ACA usage in Arizona, and had a […]
Nothing has been more essential and affirming and still fueling my every day work than being part of DS106. I’ve not taught a class since 2014 yet I still spend time queueing up Daily Creates and even yesterday cooking up a web form to collect new art for the web site. Since 2011, xMOOCs have […]
Twenty days ago I heard that the elegant story site cowbird was closing up the front door. So I vowed to add one a day until the very end. And I did twenty of them, right up until today (well one day missed because the site was “out of helium” for maybe 2 full days) […]
Abiding by the letter of open licenses mean you do not have to ask permission. But it sure is nice when someone goes beyond the letter of the license and lets you know of a use of your work. It’s an old story around here, and it’s so old I cannot find the source, but […]
per·mu·ta·tion p?rmyo?o?t?SH(?)n/ noun a way, especially one of several possible variations, in which a set or number of things can be ordered or arranged. Often I am asked if “this is the right way to do attribution” for something openly licensed. Most of the time I am tempted to reply, if you are attributing at […]
A tweet of ends #digitalstorytelling gem @cowbird to shut down: https://t.co/IRIyymTJcYThis makes me so sad. — Bryan Alexander (@BryanAlexander) February 8, 2017 The standard opening lines here would be my woeful admission of how little I had written in that special storytelling space. It would be wafted with moth-ball scented excuses. You can more or […]
