Tomorrow marks the 4 week mark for this Road Odyssey, which is about 1/4 the time I thought I’d travel (but that is not firm). I’ll cross the 3000 mile point in the morning, somewhere in north Central Washington State. On the map, I won’t make the quarter turn until first week of August, when […]
Here is another genuine character I met on the road recently. Going past the road to tiny Cottonwood, Idaho, a giant wooden beagle on the left caught my eye; how could I pass up the sign for Dog Bark Park? The big dog is actually a multi-story B&B- yes, you can arrange so spend a […]
It’s been fun to see positive reaction to this little experiment, and with some time today, I have added some new features, moved it from my lab testing server to its own domain http://pechaflickr.cogdogblog.com/, and just now posted the source code http://code.google.com/p/pechaflickr/.

While traveling, I am missing out on most of the wild antics going on in ds106 where there appears to be hostile class takeovers, student revolts, and a lot of name tossing going on. It’s no wonder what the MOOC people hardly mention this class, as it fits no mold any online open course has […]
Yesterday, my cousin and I were watching a bit of early silent films on TV, and I mentioned something about it being a very different form of film than modern. David went on to highlight the use of a single camera, not moving. He then mentioned that when he was working on his PhD in […]
