Wow, the new interface for Google Maps Streetview is very slick! It fills the entire map frame, and you get a spinny controller (like in Google Earth) to rotate your view, plus drag and clicking the mouses gives a tilt-pan effect. So you can zoom down streets! I decided to pay a visit to the […]
Pushing the Day Out by cogdogblog posted 24 Nov ’08, 6.26am MST PST on flickr Bring me warmth and light to push out this cold Icelandic night… Nothing like a glorious sunrise to get the week started off right (good and plentiful coffee are right up there as well). One advantage of this time here […]
I have an idea how some rag tag blog army can storm the castle of the Walled Garden Content Horders and do some damage. Maybe. It is likely a dumb idea that someone will poke the Hummer sized holes in. This just flickered n when I read Clarence Fisher’s Twitter gripe: What he is saying […]
How cool is this (and found via a tweet from Barbara Sawhill– twitterbution!)? Barbara Ganley splashes the New York Times on its story of Haste, Scorned: Blogging at a Snail’s Pace: When Barbara Ganley wants to collect her thoughts, she walks in the Vermont countryside, wanders home and blogs about it. In a recent post, […]
George Siemens is fine despite his sparsely titled circa telegraph text post Need help in which he asks some super broad (yes important) questions: I often hear educators talking about “education needs to change” (I do it too). This is the case for the K-12, higher education, and corporate training/education markets. As a small research […]
I can agree with all the positive acclaim for the archive of Life photographs Google is hosting. It is a vast archive of important historical moments. What is striking me odd that is not strictly mentioned on this site is any statement on usage of the images. I looked high and low, and I am […]
I have come across a new, and less desirable mode of blogging. Someone who just grabs something, tosses it on the glass, and leans their thumb on the green “copy” button of the Xerox machine (I thought of writing this as a “ditto” metaphor but would have lost most of my slim audience). Yeah something […]
From Iceland to the Big Screen in Moose Jaw by cogdogblog posted 20 Nov ’08, 12.25pm MST PST on flickr We used Skype today for me to present live from Iceland to a group of teachers gathered for a workshop with Dean Shareski in Saskatchewan. Through Skype video and Dean flipping Firefox tabs with me, […]
photo credit: Alexis Deadly Accepting invitations to join the “Sexy Vampires”, “Naked Wonders”, or “Canon EF 17-40mm 1:4L USM” flickr groups, not to say they are uninteresting, but…. Even looking at much less considering following “gift_registry”, “Quicken Loans”, “Rentmyhouse4derby”, or “secretfatloss” on Twitter. Yeah, that’s my crowd. Yep. Logging into Facebook. Why? People who never […]
Last night for me here in Iceland I had an enjoyable time Skype videochatting with Chrissy’s class in Bangkok Thailand. I got to meet Chrissy in September at the Learning 2.008 conference in Shanghai; she is on her own adventure in moving this year to Thailand to teach at an international school. It was early […]
