cogdog on DISCLAIMER: This is likely in bad taste and not nearly as funny (or at all) as I thought. I have and continue to commit a few of the sins I lampoon (the campfire photo is usually on slide 1). The real point is to wonder why so few people talk about storytelling in a presentation […]
cogdog on Memories of my grandmother and sifting through the fragments I have left of her, led to this story authored at Cowbird (not sure how well it embeds, testing it now…) Update Jan 6, 2013 My sister had a copy of the recipe, thanks Harriet! Look at my little rebel jewish grandmother, making soup with a […]
cogdog on A photography friend is making a trip to the Salton Sea, and I was trying to remember the name of this odd place I had heard about nearby that was worth recommending. Except I forgot its name. The thing I did remember is that a participant in a workshop I helped with back in 2004 […]
cogdog on Two flavors of this story, a series of comic renderings (done via the Halftone iPhone app) or an extended storify. [View the story “#nightAtORD” on Storify] A few thoughts. The whole ideas seemed like a fun way to pass the time via tweets, photos, some audio. It actually is an fascinating experience to observe the […]

In The Last Calendar, she relates the story that emerges from a shared Google Calendar she and her brother made […]

It matters for game designers. It produces results in business. People who market brands and specialize in SEO are storytellers. And […]
cogdog on In prep for doing next week’s introduction to storytelling for my ds106 class, yesterday’s sequence of events compelled me to try the Tell a Story in Five Frames flickr group, making a story titled “Freed” This are an interesting challenge, it is easy perhaps to illustrate a series of events. The trick to level up […]
cogdog on This may set a record for the most un-managable blog title … this week. For some reason (help me Jim!) I cannot find the link for Assignment 4 in ds106 – it was more or less two do two weeks of posting photos in response to the prompts of the Daily Shoot. Heck, I’ve been […]

Well you should have tuned in to our late night live radio show on #ds106radio — with Bryan Alexander visiting me here, it was the perfect plan to hatch. Sadly he seems to have been adbucted […]
