We are asking everyone (yes that includes you) to share ideas about what a Creative Commons Certification might mean to you, and also, what you would expect as a process to earn one. Here is how to tell us. This was an idea I floated in a post originally published on my blog, from which […]
I owe this photo to a tweet that got me outside last night with my camera So you should enjoy this delicious cocktail and/or meteorological event while you can https://t.co/2gLznnjvmi — Dan Cohen (@dancohen) June 19, 2016 I learned in the process that a June full moon is known as a Strawberry Moon (not for […]
For the second year iteration of our UDGAgora work with faculty from the University of Guadalajara, the schedule moved to the second day a presentation on openness Brian Lamb and had done in 2015 later in the week. Since 2003 Brian and I have done enough presentations together that we cannot remember them all, but […]
My Dad spent a lot of time in the yard. Pushing the lawnmower. Raking leaves. Trimming the forsythia bushes. I want to say I pondered him doing that and wondered what he thought about spending all those hours out there, but maybe that is more hindsight memory.

Yes, I put that in quotes, […]
Before you make a wisecrack about the imminent demise of the creaky old Yahoo bad mojo flickr (which I continue to use daily 12 years after I started)… crank up the music!

Yup, the branding folks at the CogDogBlog Inc are rolling out a new logo and header. This is a big move around here, and may not be popular. Mickey has been a staple of this blog since it began in 2003, and it feels a bit weird to be changing him out. Change is hard, […]
Prefixing many words with “Hyper” makes them more interesting. Go from ordinary space into Hyperspace. Leave the everyday 3 dimensions of a cube for a Hypercube. What Apple did for me and many of us with a card on a little square computer? Hypercard. (okay my wordplay goes bad for medical conditions, as a diabetic, […]
