Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
It’s time to do away with the silly conference bags and the wasted trees contained within. The whole concept is so, 1980-ish. I may get some organizational dings for this, but I am compelled to complain once more about the staleness of the educational conference format. Somebody please stick a fork in it. This League […]
I’m back. I think. The last two days have been technically the worst of my career. This is a long story. The bottom line is that this blog is now running on a new URL http://realgar.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/alan/ but things are forarded nicely (.htaccess redirect) so all links to http://cogdogblog.com/alan/ end up here. But that is just […]
Just arrived in the big city for the League for Innovation conference that starts tomorrow. Perched on the 40 something floor of the Marriot with my own commanding view of Manhattan. About 1/3 the plane from Phoenix was loaded with folks from Maricopa, almost like a chartered jet. Sometimes you have to travel to a […]
Look out for your RSS– as warned the vultures are still circling, and maybe hovering closer to your feeds. It’s interesting, curious, and quirky when the PR factories roll new verbs off the assembly line- Moreover’s FeedRSSDirect Ads offer this savory description: Moreover Technologies, the premier provider of aggregated online current awareness information, today announced […]
I am not sure yet what to make of wists – visual bookmarks, yet another variant following the flickr del.icio.us trail through the mountain pile of folksonomic tag mania.

I am drowning in things to do, things I would like to do, and things I have to do. My workload is more or less double what it was 6 months ago since losing the expertise of Colen, who worked 5 years for us doing part-time programming support and developing much of the MLX and […]
One of my colleagues has gotten bit severely by the weblog / RSS fever— this is a good thing. Shelley teaches English at Mesa Community College and is experimenting this semester with having her student review resources via Bloglines, and she is crafting an extra credit assignment for them to post entries in the Bloglines […]
I owe my sarcastic streak to a boyhood influence of MAD magazine – the codebook to becoming a solid porcupine internet citizen. But Doug Gilford’s Mad Cover site is an over the top homage to friends of movie spoofs, Roger Kaputnik, Spy vs Spy, and the fold in covers. The site goes as far as […]
My web site submission multi-tool, which rolls a selected set of JavaScript submission tools into one, has hit its tenth tool. Thanks to those who have made recent suggestions. This means, you can build your own browser bookmark submission tool that includes all or any from: Furl del.icio.us Frassle Connotea Bag of URLs CiteULike Simpy […]
With podcasting going from zero to tech trend in 6 months, some are hedging bets that videocasting is already accelerating. So here is the CogDogBlog evolution. We go from reading my typos in a blog to listening to me say “ummm” as a podcast to watching me say “ummm” as a videocast to a 3D […]
