In which I bark and growl about things that get under my fur.
Go ahead, be a copycat. Down at number 111 of the 2019 Top Tool for learning is a site I use often myself for finding images available for reuse, pixabay. The rank is anything I care about. Among the comments: “Free images, you do not have to attribute, good selection.” Instructional Designer, USA “As with […]
There’s a lot of twitter talk (don’t ask me to define “a lot”) of #Ungrading or as the Inside Higher Education article being batted around today calls it When Grading Less is More. I’m not sure where the locus is here- there’s seems a bandwagon jumping on teaching gradeless, which is, as most will say, […]
“Will”, someone I don’t know, spends his finite time on this planet emailing strangers asking the not so philosophical question, “Am I In the Right Place?” Hi Alan, Will here again following up on a recent email I sent about contributing a WordPress security graphic to Cog Dog Blog.

Pretend you don’t know me. To save you some manual effort you surely won’t mind giving me permission to not only add things to your calendar, but also, you are okay with me sharing your calendar or even deleting it. I will stop calling you Shirley if you agree that this is crazy. But apparently […]

Another one today when Ken Bauer tweeted an old image: Working on finding the original but this is better. #Conisoft2018 pic.twitter.com/YQ3Z251AMj — Ken Bauer Favel (@ken_bauer) October […]
I’d like to think it’s rather clear if anyone glances at this blog that despite it’s title, it does not sell dog products, and definitely is not in the genre of home improvement tips. Plus, there is a clear statement on the bottom of every page. The exact statement is: Here I bark and growl […]
Oh Gary. Sending out blog comment spam must be wearying if a professional like you manages to miss a rather clear statement that appears in the footer of every page on this blog. Here, as promised, is your treatment. This infestation began 2 weeks ago. Date: Wed, Aug 15, 9:30 AM From: Gary <email redacted@gmail.com> […]
Twitter recently enabled features to add descriptions to uploaded images, a huge boon for accessibility. That’s a feature, how do you make it a habit? Well, by doing it.
