- Moms (a week late) and loving a universe (leaving as a placeholder for some AI generated excuses for not blogging). The draft has been in my head! Yes, with last weekend being Mother’s Day, celebrating was held here Saturday at home here that we call “Ursa Acres” or “Ursa” or just often “the universe.” There was home cooked food, family, flowers, and cards. […]

- Breaking the Blogjam Hello, world. No, that’s been done before. But hello, empty WordPress editor, screen, even more sparse when the Gutenburger editor opens full screen. More white space. Forgive me blog, for it has been 11 days since my last post, and it’s been only 3 this month. Even doing my ALL CAPS tweets of impersonation has […]

- Hello, World It’s been a while, WordPress blog. Been busy! That’s all to say now, more later. Just circling back to the first, long ago deleted, post- some make it harder than it should be. Hello. Featured image:

- Back to the (new) Nifty Fifty Twas maybe ten years ago in camera years I shifted back to using my DSLR after a run of using a compact digital camera. My go to lens, the one used for easily 90% of my photos, has been the Canon 50mm f/1.4 aka “The Nifty Fifty” But because of packing up, the 1700 mile […]

- A Farrar Question This happened at the happy hour Tuesday after being at the Maricopa Teaching With Technology Conference. Across a noisy table, Bill Farrar posed an inquisitive question my way. When I worked at Maricopa, Bill was a psychology teacher at Mesa Community College, now he is at Estrella Mountain and the interim Director of their Center […]

- Image Seek: A Mozilla Thimble Make creative commons licensed ( BY-NC-ND ) flickr photo shared by maury.mccown While many people do seem to know of the Mozilla Foundation’s efforts to Teach the Web, at the same time, many don’t. Besides a great set of tools (Thimble, Popcorn Maker, X-Ray Googles) they are building out a raft of resources, teaching kits and […]

- Yahoo’s Carefully Honed Flickr Strategy Yahoo apparently brought in a high priced expert consultant to help them plan a rollout of a flickr update cc licensed ( BY NC SA ) flickr photo shared by WilWheaton First all the change in the layouts, which I admit I like as a design– it forefronts the image. But alas, the change did […]

- Jumping from one ds106 class to the next cc licensed ( BY NC SA ) flickr photo shared by febbrile This is about as close as I might get to a reflection on my first round of teaching an on site section of ds106 at the University of Mary Washington- the class had barely wrapped and we were off into prep for Faculty […]

- It Was Kind of Like This cc licensed flickr photo shared by @DrGarcia This photo says almost it all about the six hour ds106 radio jam camp at the Sanctuary in Vancouver, the night after Northern Voice 2011 closed. It went like this until 3am! If Jim Groom has any wondering where his voice went, look here (but it was worth […]
- May Story a Day #21: Saturday Poem cc licensed ( BY NC SD ) flickr photo shared by your neighborhood librarian What else would you rather do on a Saturday? This looks like a lot more phone that silly rapture crap. Today’s bit is some combo of image (above) and me trying to read a short poem by Billy Collins, with some […]

- 50 Ways Over Wooster Jon Breitenbucher invited me back again to do a remote (via Skype) presentation on 50 Web 2.0 Ways to Tell a Story for the week-long Instructional Technology Faculty Fellows program he and his crew run at the College of Wooster (by the way, they are rocking with wordpress multiuser there). When I did this last […]

To do this they had my Skype video on one screen and the other had a web browser open […]

- NoBlogDog This dog will not blog… for the next 4 days. I’m off for some backpack time around the edge of the Mogollon Rim, in the Coconino National Forest. Given drought conditions of the last several years, a rather dry winter, it will only be maybe a week or two before fire restrictions and closures shut […]
- Mena Wants to Know How We Use MT Mena at SixApart is fishing for trackbacks to share how MovableType is being used. Here’s another one for the education realm. My initial foray with this CogDogBlog has been to document our instructional technology projects that support the 10 colleges of the Maricopa Community College systems, as well as commentary on technology. This server supports […]

- Stomp Click Here One of my major, growling rotweiler pet peeves are the millions, no billions, or web pages that have “click here” links for hypertext. It completely defeats the entire concept of hypertext as an in-context connection to related content. Well-written hypertext subtly weaves the link by the choice of words used to indicate the link relationship. […]
