Training vs Cited Sources or is Bing 60,000 Times Better Than…

I’m cratering and writing about AI. Call me a lemming. Stop the presses. Where are the presses? All the time in webinars and discussions about AI there is much weeping and wailing… no actually there is not, but much concern about what Large Language Models are trained on. Often its the vein of “they are […]

Mastodon Link Play

Profile Picture for CogDog The Blog CogDog The Blog on November 2, 2023November 2, 2023

One of the Mastodon new user bumps is getting your head around the extra layer of your name or handle being doubled with the place you call home, both a positive for appreciating federation but maybe a complexity in unraveling names and links. This also comes into play for those building tools, e.g. it gets […]

Whatever the web is becoming or devolving or transmorgiphing to, DS106 still goes on, in some fashion, especially with the Daily Create. And look out, the machinations are at work to oblivate it into perhaps something new? A hallmark of DS106 always was not just spitting out things created (“just type a prompt in a […]

Pixelfedding: Federating Fotos

Profile Picture for CogDog The Blog CogDog The Blog on October 31, 2023October 31, 2023

There’s more to the Fediverse than trying to rejig your foregone twitter experience into Mastodon, indeed it is a party of distributed platforms. Given my love of photos, I’ve been casually exploring Pixelfed, the platform for photo sharing. Not that I will ever tear away from my firm flickr love, but I was curious to […]

Presenting, Random Musing, Reclaiming Your Web

Spinning Amazing/True Stories at 2023 RPM

My blog draft is up in the old grey matter, and I can’t seem to start typing in this box (not a prompt one) until I have a metaphor image and a title. Hardly efficient. I have done that. Just because it is 2023 and I loathe doing this, I asked the weakest LLM (free […]

The Life Cycle, as it Should, Returns to Where It Started

Hello blog it’s been a while, and his post has been idling in neutral. Just about everyone has written their bird song post for Twitter. I won’t refer to it by some algebraic like single letter, nor to “The platform previously known as Twitter”- it always was, is, and in death spiral, just silly Twitter. […]

Domains, Random Musing, Reclaiming Your Web

Domains Come and Go (and sometimes come back again)

Profile Picture for CogDog The Blog CogDog The Blog on September 30, 2023September 30, 2023

I never would say that Domains of Ones Own (DoOO) has quote/unquote died, but certainly it’s post peak witnessing the withering of blog posting in lieu substacking and the reach for Google Docs more than anointing a web site. Like many who cling to a few, I have to glance at the pack of 10+ […]

Given a draft of a post is withering/dying where I fail to conjure something meaningful about the Two Letter Acronym That Rhymes With Hey Bye, I’m reaching back to the old stuff that still matters, the magic of what I call unexpected web serendipity that spring from something we shared, did, uttered in an internet […]

Connected, Even if It Takes Gorilla Tape

This thing is still on, even if it has not sprouted much in a while. Just posting to make sure it works. And to add one more shredded post to the pile of likely the oldest blog topic. That’s all. For now. Hi. Featured Image:

Memories, Weird Web

Down the Web Rabbit Holes: Memories of Enchanted Forest to Foamhenge and Back

Here we go. Again. That old web magic is still there, the stuff I lump as web serendipity, what happens when unexpectedly, something tickles the curiosity, it leads to something else, lather, rinse, repeat. It’s my variety of Vannevar Bush’s associative trails, what I like to play with the title “As We May Link”, especially […]

Here I bark and growl about the web, edtech, photography, and other stuff that gets under my fur (more…).

Keep those e-cards and e-letters to coming to me via (finally in 2022!) my Bark to Me web contact form-- except requests to add links, insert ads, or write guest articles. I don't do that. Look around. If you bug for stuff listed here, and worse, repeatedly ask if igot your message you likely will get the treatment. Each message you send me with these requests that ignore this obvious warning will incur a $250 handling fee and a pile of dog poop left at your doorstep.

How do you like these inspirational quotes about blogging? (look to the right or below on a small screen) They are 100% created by a human being, no chatting AI was put to use, These are famous quotes about writing where I have just done a little bit of editing to change to a blogging theme. The idea is the same. For your entertainment, see the full set of Quotes On Blogging.
