That’s a total clickbait title. Or maybe more cleverly, mis-direction. To me that is one of the key elements of storytelling, the hook, the draw into something, the nibble taste that makes you want more. So no, I have no truths to tell/sell you about education. It’s more about what I got from an episode […]
I am composing this in the way the ancient ones blogged. Archaically, pen to paper. Content-wise, nothing is different than writing here in WordPress, it’s just a jumble of words. In what I conjure as an annual semi-tradition (i have convinced myself I have done this before, now that I think of it, last year’s […]
I’ve already written this blog post! Shall I cite myself, ibid infinitum? But just to show as an example, in my previous post I was able to reference the 2018 Mural UDG Project I was part of. A few days ago that was not possible, and also on the digital chopping block was years of […]
What could be better news that Kirby Ferguson is launching a new wave of Everything is a Remix? Even if I do feel old seeing Tik Tok (I’m not there, but I get it) (that of course cannot be true) (except for being old). What happens when something you created long ago gets peeled back […]
Note: It’s rare around this blog that something lingers in draft as long as this post. There is a reason for everything, right? But this one needs to get squeezed out of the Easy Blog Oven for another one to follow. The very same desire I heard in my first week (1992) as an instructional […]
For everything wrong about the 2021 web, the candle in the small window is the unexpected click that results in an expression of Neo-like “Woah” – is that truly possible in a web browser? Once the bar was set kind of low to be amazed by the web, just a collection of not so stupid […]
The blog keeps on keeping on, though I see in recent posting, there’s a lot of looking back, and one (well this one) can start worrying about being seen as too “back in the day” mindset. Time to flip the scopes (well there is a lingering draft of one more retro post). The old CogDogBlog […]
It must say something without saying that getting to the end of one book a year is blog worthy. Let it be said unsaid, but there is my bookmark in the index pages at the end of Errol Morris’s Believing is Seeing (Observations on the Mysteries of Photography). The path here was one of those […]
I was a tad skeptical when I saw the tweets being reshared from a student who was (rightfully if true) upset that his university was having dead professors teach classes. It was the macabre right out of a Netflix series idea of the Teaching Dead but then it is amplified by this Slate story, How […]
It’s almost like it’s 2004. There’s an exciting new thing someone portmanteau-ed as “podcasting”. Not so new, of course. I’ve been part of one with Antonio Vantaggiato that defies the meaning of frequency (it’s more or less a reason to talk to mi amigo). I’ve also started a series for my work this year as […]
