Seeking PC/AIM User for Video Chat

SBL seeks S/DWC for.. nah, it is not one of those! I have just installed iChat/AV v2.1 which is now compatible with AOL Instant Messenger 5.5 for Windows and would like to try it for sure (see specs on AIM Video IM FAQ). If anyone out there is using AIM 5.5 with a video camera, […]

Getting MLX Comments Into MLX Comments

We are doing some tinkering soon on our Maricopa Learning eXchange (MLX) “packing slips” to increase the visibility and usage of the commenting tools, which are relatively unused situated near the very bottom of each packing slip.

Pachyderm Walks, Dances, Flashes…

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

PopSci- A Magazine with Print TrackBacks

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, […]

Happy Blog Day To Me…

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 […]

“The Blog”

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 […]

An Aussie Park Named (Almost) After Us…. err… Before Us

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 […]
