Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
Yesterday I had the fun opportunity to talk about attributed and possibly [semi] serious use of the kinds of media people see/share all the time. This session was a free pre-conference teaser for the 24th annual Teaching, Colleges and Community (YCC) conference. That’s right, 24… and it’s still being organized by the very people who […]
Those big time motivational speakers who talk about starting to learn with a problem you want to solve have never really accounted for serendipitous learning. Is everything as simple as problem -> solution? This is one of those times I accidentally learned something I had no intent of learning. It was like 3 by products […]
Once you have a few years of blogging in your archives, you thus have some history (doh). And I made a little plugin to make it more visible, to generate a list of previous year’s post published on the current day. Just peek at my own page using this. It all started with a tweet […]
You are working on some project and just decide to look at an older WordPress site that should be just sitting there humming along, and see this… Fatal is not pretty. My hunch is that since it is a reference to “undefined function mysql_connect()” that it’s related to the changes in PHP 7 – I […]
It just takes repetition for new habits to become ingrained ones. That seems logical, but heck, in 2018, logic is not what it used to be (let’s save this tangent for an offline rant). For this week’s (actually it is last weeks I think) 9x9x25 I am sharing my own effort to be as diligent […]
Actually it’s just switches, like things to turn on and off. When I wrote the title, “switches” by itself sounded like things were changing. So imagine the gizmos. As it likely has been written before, the best things about seeing SPLOTs get used are the ways people use it that I would have never anticipated, […]
The calendar reminder notifies me that yesterday would have been my grandmother’s 113th birthday. If I could talk to her, I’d tease about that being a lucky number. She would laugh that cackle I loved hearing. What I do have is audio I recorded with her in 1994 on actual tape (micro-cassette) . Granny’s Tape […]
I pretty much gave up on writing about and hoping that writing about catfishing might have some impact (yup just checked, more than 2 years since last post on it). Of course that hardly means that anything has changed; the scamming of people luring into false romance contact using my photos on fake profiles and […]
I’m a bit late to getting this blog ready for the next era. But there is no time like now to get started. First, and frankly forced by Google for reasons I am not clear, this site is no longer insecure. That’s right, CogDogBlog is fully safe, even for cockroach spammers like Glen to have an […]
I opened up WordPress to write something. As often it goes, I got curious about something, fell into rabbit hole, and find myself writing a different post. This is my oft repeated experience on the internet. I’m not stats obsessed, but I did glance at the JetPack plugin’s dashboard widget. It was not the numbers […]
