In a word, the ride was rough. Red Dog, my trusty and well used 1998 Ford F-150 had lately been getting harder and harder start, it took more effort to turn over. I feared the end of the line. I managed to get her to Andy’s Transmission in Moose Jaw, a trusty mechanic who previously […]
Hey, it’s a tiny post, just like 2004 days. Short. Sweet. If you are actually reading this post, not just clicking a like button, you hopefully notice a bit more “zip” to it? Like a purring sports car engine. Like… …being now hosted in Reclaim Cloud. It was maybe a year or more ago, when […]
Road Dog by cogdogblog posted 23 Dec ’08, 9.39am MST PST on flickr Happy to be done traveling for 2008! Stuff organized by TripIt www.tripit.com/people/cogdog Woot! I shall not see the inside of another airport for a long while (well, til January 15). It was quite a thrill to place the blue dots as tracked […]
Oh, yes, I keep forgetting that the open web is dead or is ended or all the web is swirling down an AI slop river of grey sludge. Just don’t tell the frisky dogs, who still know how to romp freely, share their toys, and build bits of web stuff with toys like RSS. Just […]
Nobody but me is tracking, and a delightful thing for my streak to keep on its Bond-like precision in going purrfect for daily photos in 2026 (on the heels of a purrfect 2025) as recorded in the album and blogged on the 90th day of the year March 31, 2026. And this month there was […]
“Raildog is the Ansr” but the question is how the heck did I end up following a curiosity trail where logic and the dull stasticical parroting of GenAI leaves a mind wanting? I blame / credit Jim Groom. He posted today of his pleasure in the saner mode of travel. It got me thinking to […]
My dreams continue of an epic long blog post story of my journeys through digital storytelling, yet every thread ends up being a tangent worth chasing worthy of its own post. Yesterday it was the CoolIris gizmo I resurrected for 50 Web Ways to Tell a Story and today it was a pivotal conference I […]
And today I felt a rush that the clever editors of the New York Times were big fans of CogDogBlog. It had to be, as I was featured apparently in today’s Connections game (of which I have never seen nor will as its for subscribers). The first clue came in a Mastodon call out from […]
Easily voted Best Dog in The Universe, our dog Felix, now pushing 12 human years, gave us a wee scare recently. Breaking the patterns, he had not even come downstairs at dinner time. At bed time, he was laying on the floor, breathing abnormally deep, almost wheezing. He could not seem to lay his head […]
Hardly anything is more DS106 #Life than pingponging daily creates with folks like Kevin aka @dogtrax. Ask this 6th grade musician teacher why he is still devoutly doing this stuff, and I bet the answer is along the lines “if I have to explain it to you…” A recent example among many puts a bit […]
