In my recent, somewhat nostalgic, presentations I show an image of a street party, people blowing bubbles. That’s how I felt about the internet when I first stumbled onto it. The web too. It was all discovery. In the early 1990s I put my name and email address on thousands of web pages. There were […]
Here I thought I caught up on my back blogging from the trip to New Zealand, but I have yet to talk about the digital time capsule that appeared at every stop. In this post, I’ll give a bit of review about what happened, what was collected, in a subsequent long scrolling gibberish one I […]

No. It’s a visit to The Auckland University, for the first of 4 speaking days in the area. This campus sits at […]

And now for a break in the action, a chance to catch up (whatever that means) sleep late (sort of) and relax at my friend/host Nigel […]

As Cogdogblog awoke one morning from uneasy dreams it found itself transformed in its posts to something else. Not at all an insect. But absolutely changed. If only he could remember how to blog. Surely it was not difficult. Surely there was a Manual. Surely there was a Professional Development Seminar by a World Known […]
