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

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

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

Profile Picture for CogDog The Blog CogDog The Blog on October 25, 2023October 25, 2023

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+ […]

Once More, 14 Years Later, Begging for Openness Stories

Profile Picture for CogDog The Blog CogDog The Blog on August 27, 2023August 27, 2023

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

Profile Picture for CogDog The Blog CogDog The Blog on July 22, 2023July 22, 2023

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 […]

No Sad Eyes For Reused Photo Number 300

Profile Picture for CogDog The Blog CogDog The Blog on July 12, 2023July 12, 2023

Look at the pup’s photo. Why so sad, Kay? This flickr photo of you I took in 2014 while visiting your human, Richard Elliot, at his home in Auckland, has just been added to the home grown collection of my flickr photos that have been reused elsewhere. Maybe it’s boasting or self vanity, but discovering […]

CC Licenses and Cacti: It Gets Interesting (or weird) up Close

Profile Picture for CogDog The Blog CogDog The Blog on June 21, 2023June 21, 2023

I love Creative Commons, ok? I’ve followed, used, the licenses since the start, I have the t-shirts. And like many, I can rattle of the stack of letters and explain them. But in my internet roaming, especially for my other strong interest, photography, I come across things in practice, well, that are much less cut […]

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 coming via 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 I got your message you likely will get the treatment. Ignore this warning and you will incur a pile of dog poop left at your doorstep.
