At least I was home for the weekend! But Monday, and I made it through a 45 minute line at the security gate (hey folks get those dangerous gels inside the baggies!) for my flight to Austin. This week is the 2006 Pachyderm Users Conference — the first time around for this conference, but it […]
The point of cognitive desperation on a plane flight is reading the in-flight magazine (no there is one level lower, reading the Sky Mall catalog), but o my flight Thursday to San Francisco, I chuckled at a “map” of the US (under heading “Food Nation”) featuring city/place names that are also food names… and right […]
No web form open to comments goes un-spammed, so its no surprise that via 2 different YouTube accounts I have, that there have been a spate of unwarranted, message spam porn links from folks like “goodlife100” and “xacana10”. Sadly, YouTube, awash in Googlebucks, seems ill equipped to do anything about this. It’s hard to even […]
Are you trying to get a pulse on the wild west of the latest videos streaking across YouTube, or looking to out flank your friends who forward those funny flicks by email? Try Viral Video Chart: We scan several million blogs a day to see which online videos people are talking about the most. We […]
Another interesting web add-on I looked at today is snap “preview anywhere”. It is essentially a service, you enroll a web site URL, it generates a line of JavaScript that goes in the HEAD of your site’s pages (or better the single header template file). But what does it do? It adds a function so […]
Wow, I have stumbled into some amazing, attention distracting things recently! I am not sure I can describe drawballl (not that the site explains, but hey, somethings need discovery). The “Ball” is a giant round piece of canvas, where people can go in at a very small scale and draw, draw, draw will colors, creating […]
Just got back home from a tremendous 2 days of NMC meetings (wow, I never thought “tremendous” went with “meetings” but ours are) where I was able to check off one of my 43 people… the legendary Doug Engelbart. And of course the reflex association goes to “yeah, he’s the guy that invented the mouse…” […]
The traveling shoes are on. I’m at the Phoenix airport, as always bowing my thanks towards the city mayor for sponsoring this lovely and free wireless access at Sky Harbor Airport. I’m off to San Francisco for 2 days, one an NMC staff meeting and Friday is one of our quarterly NMC Board meetings. For […]
(Cue the E.R. Music) Previously… on CogDogBlog: PowerPoint is 2.0-fied with SlideShare It has been a few weeks since I looked at slideshare, and today uncovered some things that likely were always there. I am swiping the notion from Bryan Alexander’s vocabulary in terms of talking about “microcontent” — each slide in an uploaded PowerPoint, […]
It was a few months ago I shared my use of Google’s Personal Home page, (get yours now) which has been for some time the home page on the 4 or so computers I use. I was recently helping Rachel set up hers with some modules and decided it was time to clean up and […]
