A day after a somewhat bemused post about the irrationality of systems such as parking, the system bit back hard. About a little before noon I went out to drive my truck downtown. On my way out I left the latest parking ticket with the front desk for them to call it in again. To […]
I cannot seem to locate the tweet (the concept that Twitter search really searches everything is shattered every time I try), but a month or two back, @DrGarcia lamented a wee bit some sadness of not receiving letters in the mail. She’s overly generous in the letter writing department. The practice of handwriting letters or […]
I marvel at my blue tickets. Fluttering beneath the windshield wipers of my truck, they represent an ongoing comical example of a consistent proliferation of a tiny amount of an irrational system. I’ve lost count, I’ve gotten maybe 25 of these over four months. I kind of want someone to stand up ant tell parking […]
It’s exciting to see some applications of the SPLOT TRU Writer tool. TRU English prof Ken Simpson has two sections of his courses using instances made for each class: We are set to let another group of computer science students […]

The SPLOT Image Collector has found resonance as a useful tool to build shared image collections. I’ve modified the admin options so a site owner can decided which of the fields they want on the form (and even designate them […]
Since Coursera so kindly seems to share courses it thinks I might find useful, as a CogDogBlog Snarkity Service, I have sent them an email with a few course recommendations. They seem to know very little about other open courses, and what came before (and after) them. Also in flickr… This was constructed completely in […]
The flickr cc attribution helper is among my most proud creations; I can pretty much tell when I read other blogs who is using it. And it all started from the most important place, something to make my blogging practice easier. I’d written earlier about an unintended outcome of moving it from a browser extension […]
