    • Just Missed the Dust Biting Video by One Day: Wikispaces Poops the Web With a big thud another well used educator web site not only bites the dust but totally poops the web. Just after publishing the newest version of Another Web Bites the Dust, the first tweet in my mention us this: Next update: Wikispaces 🙁#edTech— Ismael Peña-López (@ictlogist) February 14, 2018 No, not Wikispaces! I’ve used […]

    • TRU Writer SPLOT: Activate! for 30,000,000 ACA Stories Is it just me or are people in the US (and Britain, and France, and… well everywhere) just more on edge lately? Sleeping less / worrying more? I know it’s just not me. Of all the things the new administration in the US is doing (and the list grows with every whacko tweet), the idea […]

    • Your Face. My Photo. Your Avatar. My Happy. It’s quite a nice thing to find out when someone uses one of my photos of them as their twitter, or Facebook images, or in a blog header. I started trying to keep track of them in a flickr set, only to vainly bleat out my own thin ego brag *(ha)*. Of course, some change […]
    • The Puzzle: Shoving That Featured Image Inside Your RSS Feed Much puzzlement happens in setting up syndicated hub web sites with Feed WordPress, and one of the main tripping points is dealing with featured images. In many modern WordPress themes, these are what are used to generate those nice pretty front pages of sites, where each post is represented by a photo/image, or used to […]

    • Fire Needs Some Lighting The excuses for not playing this week are worn thin. While lighting my wood stove, it did not take much of a leap to hear “Light My Fire” in my head, but maybe a more bluesy acoustic version. None of the tabs I found felt right, so I startet varying some of the chords. I […]
    • Seeding ds106 Connections with Comment Groups cc licensed ( BY NC ND ) flickr photo shared by MyDigitalSLR In what I’d call the semi-porous community (because we have people outside the class who can and do provide feedback to students) of my ds106 class at University of Mary Washington, nurturing a healthy amount of commenting has typically been a struggle against […]

    • Remixes Emerge From the StoryBox The future of the StoryBox is subject for a new post. Let’s say my new approach is to find ways to release the content by making it available for people to create remixed new works out of the pieces. The original media shall remain in the box, in the time capsule, but can be released […]

    • Spontaneous Ustream Twitter IM Circus My oft repeated line this year is something about most enjoying the net based things that happen totally without provocation, plan, just spontaneous connectedness. I am sure that its maybe 3% of the general population that can really experience this with wide eyed excited wonder, and I am fortunate to know some of the best […]

    • Pointless, Incessant Barking I found a new cartoon tag line for this blog, on the front page at Live in the Deliirious Cool (no idea what the site is)… I’ll let them bear the brunt of re-use of a published newspaper cartoon. There are two dogs talking, one says, “I had my own blog for a while, but […]
    • Eight Months To Polish Up My “G’day, Mate” The plans are just in the draft stage, but I’ve gotten an awesome invitation from the Australian Flexible Learning Network to do a speaking tour of the Australia capitol capital cities in October 2007. In this case, I’d be having to fill some rather large, chocolate filled shoes, as this year’s speaker for the series […]
    • Pimp Up Your WordPress Guru Status- Trimming Those Long Titled Posts with Slugs Here is a cheap but useful trick for you WordPress bloggers- don’t sap your readers with 10 mile long URLs. If you use the Permalink option to publish your posts based on the date, time, generally it turns a long title blog post like above into something horrible like: http://cogdogblog.com/2007/02/14/pimp-up-your-wordpress-guru -status-trimming-those-long-title-posts-with-slugs That is butt ugly […]

    • Narrowing On Social Software flickr foto Better than RSS! Better Then AJAX!available on my flickr Harry was working on some new internet buzzwords this morning. Later today, I hope to be learning more about GHOS, Mady, and JiLT. Looks like some HTMl tags floating around the table too. I’ve been just as guilty of doing Social Software / Web […]

    • Another Novel Use for A Blog Yet another exmaple to show that weblogs can be more than just a place for teen diaries and cat fetishes, Steven Cohen has hoisted a presentation into Blogger format- see “Staying Ahead of Your Patrons With Weblogs and RSS”. Is it anything different than a garden variety PowerPoint slide show? No, not in terms of […]

    • MLX Happenings I am behind in citing a package of the week, but some of the freshest include: Let Excel Track Your Attendance for You!!, SCC Online Weather Station, Online Learning: What Students Should Know, and Nutrition Learning Exercise. A few interesting things shaking out over at the Maricopa Learning eXchange. A faculty member who coordinates service […]
    • One Week into Online Teaching Today was the deadline for the first week’s assignments in the online “Web-Based Teaching and Learning” course I am co-teaching. Just like students, the assignments are coming in with deadline skidmarks, but they are coming in, We had nearly 100 messages in the welcome/ intros and some good discussion about principles of online learning.
