Oh Brad. I think the policy here at CogDogBlog could not be more clear on the front door. But still, you persist in your inane request. So here is your treatment for your email bearing the subject line “Accepting Guest Posts on cogdogblog.com?” On Tue, Mar 7, 2017 at 8:15 AM, Brad S. <brad@crappyurl.poop> wrote: […]
I bet you don’t ever look to see what’s on the bottom side of your furniture. I didn’t. Not till today. The featured photo on this post is the bottom side of a most special piece of furniture, the rocking chair that belonged to my deceased brother. It has its own story (read only if […]
Is there an expression for missing something obvious right in front of your eyes? This happened earlier this year and slipped through the blog cracks. I was doing some research for a healthcare rant I eventually published over there at medium.com. I had looked up some stats for ACA usage in Arizona, and had a […]
Nothing has been more essential and affirming and still fueling my every day work than being part of DS106. I’ve not taught a class since 2014 yet I still spend time queueing up Daily Creates and even yesterday cooking up a web form to collect new art for the web site. Since 2011, xMOOCs have […]

I debated about 10 minutes with myself (well I may have been frying eggs at the same time too) about writing a blog post about politics. I think I’ve done it once before or maybe tucked a few over on medium. But I get to make the rules around here. So I am using a […]
I’ve got my hands in two current connected course sites that rely on the Feed WordPress syndication approach— one is Open Learning 17 led by Gardner Campbell and the other is the Networked Narratives course I am co-teaching with Mia Zamora. We’ve had a bit of a circle around on a part that has little […]
I might not refer to making Open Educational Resources (OERs) as “easier” but it is more familiar to educators than the idea of creating Assignments that are not “disposable”. David Wiley described the term “disposable assignments” in a 2013 post on Open Pedagogy. It’s a brilliant approach to talk to educators about designing open materials, […]
