Maybe minutes after mentioning I was in San Francisco for a Pachyderm meeting, I was contacted via em-mail and then iChat by Pat Delaney who offered to meet up and show me the sites off the tourist beaten track. This was great,a s was hearing some of Pat’s work at Gallileo High School, the Bay AreA Writing Project, and his recent stories of being “Shanghai-ed”.
Just returned from an eventful Pachyderm Project meeting in San Francisco. Much time was spent refining an unbelievable thorough requirements document (100+ pages) based on the last few months of creating user scenarios, culling those into requirements, sorting, prioritizing, and refining them towards the specs the programming team will use to produce the first Pachy 2.0 by October 2004 (we’re counting on seeing it!)
Bigger than that, those present got, for the first time, to create content with a copy of the Pachyderm 1.0 same as created by the SFMOMA team except this was running on a server D’Arcy has been nurturing up in Calgary, as documented in the first pachy product, perhaps what will be remembered in future years as the classic “spaghetti face” screen…
Doing double duty with the Teaching in the Community Colleges Online Conference (Tues-Thursday) and a Pachyderm Project meeting in San Francisco (Wed-Friday). I read today in a tourist mag, that only out of towners refer to this place as “Frisco” or “San Fran” and that the proper local name is “San Francisco” or “The City”. […]
For the plane flight reading from Phoenix to San Francisco, I grabbed a copy of Popular Science (the last time I read it was a preview of a new TR7, “the Shape of Things to Come”). I thought it interesting that column right under the letters to the editors reads: From the Blogs… Last month, […]
The Teaching in the Community Colleges Online Conference is 2/3 over, with one more day of events tomorrow. I’ve had less then available time to participate for reasons to be blogged below, but leave it to say, I am representing Arizona at a virtual conference hosted in Hawaii while I am at a meeting in […]
Holy Calendars, Batman! April 19 marks one year to the birth of CDB, starting from first post, “I Blog Therefore I Am…” In one year, there have been 347 posts, 341 comments (probably 1000 more spam-ments caught my the MT Blacklist plugin), and likely 678 typos. Do the math. It has been interesting to see […]
I am curious if other educators have heard this from students newly introduced to weblogs- from the interviews I did last week for a photoblogging presentation and at other times, I have heard more than one student refer to a blog hosting web site such as TypePad, Blogger, Buzznet, as “The Blog”– like it were […]
Some folks Down Under apparently have honored us by naming a park (almost) after CogDogBlog. Colleague Michael Coghlan writes from Adelaide of “Cobdogloa Station Caravan Park“: The Cobdogla Station Caravan Park is a privately owned caravan park nestled on the backwaters adjacent to the River Murray in the Riverland of South Australia. Cobdogla is an […]
My presentation on PhotoBlogging at the Teaching in the Community Colleges 2004 Online Conference is inching along- tomorrow is the big sprint to wrap up all the audio for the Breeze Presentation. Biff is out of town, so I will have to wing it alone. I have a tape of digitized audio from a group […]
The party from the January RSS Winterfest seems to be lingering on- but I am not festive. I get daily emails notifying me of changes on their site, which I am not following nor interested in. Four freakin’ times I used the link on their messages to set up email notifications to “never” . But […]
