Here comes the excuse about not blogging… I’ve not written much here about the Networked Narratives course I am co-teaching with Mia Zamora at Kean University. That might be because each week’s announcement is a long post, plus there are weekly event pages to assemble, like for this month’s “virtual bus” tours, not to mentione […]
There’s something I love about web generators. Not the ones that make power, but ones that power the creation of stuff. The stuff of the useless web. Everything from the tombstones to metal band names to church signs to luchador names. Maybe it’s because people make them for no other reason than because they can. […]
In 2013 the idea that was a domain first was twigit.info (not worth clicking, I let it go). I scraped in the bowels of my hosting account and found the remains of the holding page: I found some notes in a Google Doc and am a little curious I had a sub title of “a […]
We have a lot of changes “under the hood” here as well as some new graphic identity for the certificates developed for a “Hack the Cred” presentation by Paul Stacey and Creative Commoners at the recent Open Education Global conference. Now on the front of the site, the project news is pushed down a bit, […]
It was almost a request… Anyone got some good ideas for a @DomainsConf radio bumper? Going live on #ds106radio Wednesday for a chat with @mburtis about her keynote. — Jim Groom (@jimgroom) March 13, 2017 Though this may not be the bumper they were looking forward to, but the sound of the JJ Cale original […]
That image above has more red than blue, but is far from mostly red, or all red. But for the “change” we are all getting in 2017, it might as well be all red. And while Arizona is a “red” state, looking at the tallies from the 2016 Presidential election, the Republican candidate “took” the […]
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 […]
