Get Federated Got Gasta-Ed

Profile Picture for CogDog The Blog CogDog The Blog on March 29, 2024November 5, 2025

The Gasta is now passed-ah.. Oi that does not exactly work, but here I am on the return trip from the OER24 conference, out my window pink light over Greenland, trying to write a blog post, offline. Because, after all the AI tremors have stilled or knocked down all the castles, the blog, the act […]

Scraping all Bird Droppings from Pechaflickr

Profile Picture for CogDog The Blog CogDog The Blog on March 26, 2024March 26, 2024

Not that it means a hill of garbanzo beans to anyone, but I’ve pretty much stuck a fork in Twitter, the platform I will only call Twitter. I’m not deleting, I just logged out. Still, I have a number of projects, web sites, of trace importance to most but me, that are still encrusted with […]

Stop (I hope) Logging in to that Old WordPress Site

Profile Picture for CogDog The Blog CogDog The Blog on March 20, 2024March 20, 2024

In the spirit of Tom’s short tech notes to oneself… I archived a WordPress site I made a few years back for Cori’s high schools students to do some (anonymous) online writing. The site is really just to keep as an archive (and honestly it would be better to convert to static HTML, put that […]

Redoing the Unfamiliar Familiar

Profile Picture for CogDog The Blog CogDog The Blog on March 20, 2024March 20, 2024

Somewhere out there a man in Iceland will smile.  I’ve never met, known, or contacted him, but from a Mastodon repost by Joe Murphy, Baldour wrote delightfully about a precious (in terms of value) habit that made me smile: Somewhere this blog may light up an RSS reader in Iceland or maybe Poland or St […]

Remembering Who I Can’t Remember

Profile Picture for CogDog The Blog CogDog The Blog on March 10, 2024March 10, 2024

Yesterday was a calendar reminder of the death of a man 67 years ago that I don’t know. That as my mother’ father, aka Harry Herondorf aka my grandfather. I’ve previously written what I could in 2014, but I have found a few more shreds. The most interesting is a photo my suster shared recently, […]

Fade Out on the Mentor of Research Mentor

Profile Picture for CogDog The Blog CogDog The Blog on March 8, 2024March 8, 2024

In the “I’m not ready for more of this department” two days ago a good colleague from my days of yore at the Maricopa texted with a message sharing sad news that Rod Freeman had passed away. Googling his name will not reveal much, but Rod was special as he was the very first faculty […]

That Extra Day in February for Daily Photos (makes 60)

Profile Picture for CogDog The Blog CogDog The Blog on March 2, 2024March 2, 2024

It took some lubricant spray to get the Daily Photo to Flickr Habit going in January. Even with February providing one more day to summarize, and making it the Daily Photos 366 style group, I almost let is slip again. But alas, I managed to get 60 photos in 60 days posted to my 17th […]

Overdue yet timely: A Ukrainian Circle

Profile Picture for CogDog The Blog CogDog The Blog on February 25, 2024February 26, 2024

“Holy late to the blog writing, Levine” yells the inner critic. Whatever. Here is my tale of a circle I was most fortunate to have been swept into. And more critical whinging as I am actually a day later than I should have been. So it goes. And the title was supposed to have this […]

One day late! I’m sorry Flickr, your 20th Birthday was yesterday but I have been thinking about this for a while, I promise. My love is real! Okay, here are 20 special things (there are more) in no specific order except when they pop out of my head, well actually as I am blitting them […]

24 Would Have Been 74: Back to Carlins Pool

Profile Picture for CogDog The Blog CogDog The Blog on February 5, 2024February 5, 2024

My calendar reminds me today marks my parent’s wedding anniversary- they were kind and made the math easy by having a wedding in 1950. I returned to the audio I recorded with Mom in 2009, amongst be favorite memorabilia is the sound of her voice, describing to me how Alyce and Morris met in Baltimore. […]

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.
