Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
Today is my last day in a little slice of green heaven known as New Zealand where I have been visiting and giving workshops at several institutions in the Auckland area (see the CogDog’s upside down inverted cousin, the CogDog(kiwi)Blog). Among other bits, I’ve been stirring up the interest in wikis here– and like my […]
Feedster is offering a new search tool to help you find content that comes from weblogs, a handy way to scope your web searches. For the uninitiated, Feedster provides a google-like interface for searching things found in RSS feeds. It offers tools to store your own set of feeds (like another flavor of Bloglines as […]
flickr foto Find the Dogavailable on my flickr See if you can locate the puppy trying to get someone’s attention from this truck parked in Rawena, New Zealand. While enjoying a flat white in this cosy cafe in Rawena, I was mesmerized by this simple composition of a truck parked in front of a grey […]
flickr foto Pick a Sideavailable on my flickr There is humor on the New Zealand tricks on the highway… often you see pithy sacrastic remarks like “Keep Smoking- That’s Why You Have Two Lungs”, or this example suggesting there are two sides to be passed upon… which one would Robert Frost take?

flickr foto Weet-Bixavailable on my flickr The number one cereal for New Zealand is a giant Shredded Wheat. And you gotta love a food product from the folks at “Sanitorium”! More on New Zealand brands. I am talking all kinds of photos of signs, packaging, labels etc. Look at the size of that “bix”! You […]
flickr foto Not So Yummyavailable on my flickr I cannot get past the smell when the Marmite lid opens- how do the kiwis stand it? As Richard calls, it “axel grease” (but then again, he likes it) I have yet to really develop my taste for this stuff. I doubt I ever will. This is […]
Here I talked about loving flickr and a few hour later I cannot log in- all attempts are bounced back to the home, un-logged in screen. Flushed the cache, cookies, been tried another browser. Where is the love back? Unrequited? Is it just me? Does it hate my latest pictures? Sigh…. love is so complex. […]
