cogdog on I probably said elsewhere that something else I made online was my favorite thing, but today I am going to say it’s the pechaflickr site I made that combines random images from flickr with pechakucha. Even trying to describe it in words does not help, give it a spin. It’s built all from open pieces […]
cogdog on I’ve been tweeting since January 2007 (and am infasionable not yet a Deleter). Big deal. For all the times I have crafted a tweet thinking it would put some ripples in the pond, or make commentary, I can say the sum results of all this is crickets. No biggie. So it gives me some smile, […]
cogdog on Probably one way to make sense of activity of interest twitter is explore some numbers and visualization of them. Data visualization gets technically gnarly quick, but my go to tool ever since he first announce it is Martin Hawksey’s Twitter TAGS If you have a Google account, you can not only create a system to […]
cogdog on I’m a huge fan and repeat user of Martin Hawksey’s Twitter TAGS. If you are doing a class or project with activity around a hashtag, and you are not using this tool, just stop everything and set one up. It’s rather brilliant, a Google Spreadsheet with some Hawksey-ian script genius underneath. It archives all tweets […]
cogdog on As a lead up to a March 13, 2015 presentation for Open Education Week, Brian Lamb and I decided to create a bit of twitter based performance where we pretended to be disagreeing. Some felt this was “icky”.
cogdog on It’s a very satisfying thing to succeed at digging. While I am way way behind Tom Woodward in API wrangling, I’ve put them to use in projects- using the FLickr API for pechaflickr and 5 Card Stories. I also put the twitter API to use in the Daily _____ sites, e,g, the DS106 Daily Create. […]
cogdog on As that guy Neo profoundly said… woa. Today was our Networked Narratives twitter chat on What is Alchemy?. I admit I’ve never even been fully on in a twitter chat, sometimes it looks like a lot of Hey the sky is really blue #obviouschat. That’s likely an unfair characterization. We had our 19 or so […]
cogdog on This is how it ends. DDoS attacks are hitting the internet that network that was supposed to be designed to withstand attack. Twitter, GitHub, are down, many other sites are fine (like this one). I sit here alone, contemplating a life of work based on the internet. Options… ? Top / Featured Image flickr photo […]
cogdog on I should have known better. It was just 2 hours (plus blog post writing time) down the coding rabbit hole. Right now Ken Bauer is working on the Virtually Connecting blog post for the sessions they (me too) will run at the 2016 DML Conference. If you look at the announcements you will we create […]
cogdog on I should not be amazed anymore where a single link click will lead me. But I remain, happily amazed. While it may only be marginally related to my new Creative Commons Certification project, some thinking about how reputation works in online spaces seems relevant. If (big impossible if IMHO) reputation can be measured, it can […]
