    • Social Media as Exhaust There’s been more than enough “takes” on the Twitter implosion at the hands of he whom I may only refer to as the Dark Lord of Twitdor. I do not dwell nearly in the muck of it as much as many colleagues. By not putting my face in the public algorithmitized stream (hello lists, columns, […]
    • Seeing a Long, Bright Future for The Commons (thanks, Flickr) It hardly takes much to compel me to blog something about Flickr. Sure, lots of folks are just dumping photos to Google because it applies some data sniffing organizational features, or pouring them into Instagram for the quick like fixes (where they can never be found by search), even jumping now into the novel PixelFed […]

    • The Secret SPLOT Author Account Has Left the Building An afternoon of poking around the TRU Collector WordPress Theme has taken away an unnecessary vestige of how they started. This goes back more than six years ago, yes to October 31, 2014 (guess who was not out trick or treating). How can my memory be that good? It’s not, but I have a detailed […]

    • Sharing Seeds: Sunflowers Out / Pohutukawa In Word traveling seeds, now is there a metaphor? Back in 2013, Jason Toal blogged a offer to send some sunflower seeds he had harvested in Vnacouver to anyone who commented on his blog. The idea was that when they harvested, they would “seed it forward” to others. And to trace credit, the idea was inspired […]

    • I’m Making Crappy Quality Videos on Purpose Only put your best work out on the public web. You do not want potential employers to find your inferior, embarrassing work. You will look bad. Because, they will judge you solely on THAT and not where it sits in a continuum or body of work. I’m countering that with the “Front Stage” videos I […]
    • Oh, That Extrapolated Future Skip to the next post or elsewhere on the web if some juvenile mashup humor is not your cup of joe. These things get said on the web, and it’s almost a reflex I cannot control. Must. Photoshop. This. https://twitter.com/audreywatters/status/544575853179314176 Even before I clicked the link to the Big Think short video of Negroponte explaining […]

    • Some Old But Still Classic Digital Stories by Maricopa Faculty 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 […]

    • Blues Harp Lesson 4: The Horrible Sound Dean Shareski is already done with his Guitar learning project feeling that good is good enough. I commend him for carrying out. I’ve not picked up my harmonica much, have not done any lessons, or practices. Zero hours added, so I am not even near good enough. But there was a time a few weeks […]

    • Filtered: “Hey kids, get off of that website, what are you trying to do…” What a strange honor- Tom Woodward twitter shared that this humble blog has been filtered in his school district So take that, all those people who told/tell me to “grow up”… I am an adult now! I have this certificate to prove it. cogdogblog.com is characterized as adult And the way my brain works with […]

    • How Deep is the Web 2.0 Deadpool Gonna Be? Is there anything to be optimistic about regarding the financial bombs? Is everyone expecting the sky to fall? Should I worry about my content hoisted in those once shiny new Web 2.0 sites suddenly evaporating. And damnit, will I be slashing more tools from my 50+ Web 2.0 Ways to Tell a Story? (It might […]

    • Where the Wiki Things Are We’ve just put online our Fall 2004 issue of our office’s publication, the mcli Forum, and am finally glad I can share with you the featured technology interview I did with Brian Lamb, perhaps not so cleverly titled as “Where the Wiki Things Are”. How do you help people make the “Aha” step from that […]
    • Dog News (Dog Blog) We at CDB support the advancement of other dog blogs, esepcially as the number of Google-able cat blogs (6,040,000) appear to be ahead of the dog blogs (5,710,000). Therefore we share with your “Dog News: weird, inspiring dog tales”. The Dog New folks have gone ahead and applied Creative Commons licensing to their content, so […]
    • Reviving the Bag of URLs I’ve been collecting worthy and interesting web sites for almost as long as I can remember, heaping them up in piles on the floor. Actually, we have a site called the Bag of URLs where I post and share them– this started back in 1996 primarily as a selfish tool for my own use to […]
    • Homer’s Browser There’s a heated web browser debate going on over at “Redemption in a Blog” as techies try to sort our what web browser Homer Simpson uses, see “Homer Simpson Uses Tabbed Browsing”. Top theories bounce between FireFox and Safari, with no clear winner. I would bet Homer wants his pop-up ads not to be blocked […]

    • Chasing Down the CSS “Peek-a-boo” Bug There are a few threads to this story. I had seen an odd thing on one of our new XHTML designed web sites— this one uses an HTML <ul> list and CSS for rollover effects and graphic-looking buttons for the navigation. In Internet Explorer 6 (and then reports came in for IE5 users) the text […]
