- Insecure / Unsecure Until yesterday I’ve been embarrassingly insecure about the security of my MacBookPro’s operating system. My friends in the field cringe when I confessed that on my 2013 machine I was still running the MacOS it came with, Mavericks. Part of it was that I heard friends mona about things lost on upgrades, and also, a […]

- Story a Day May #4: Stay/Go/Road Playlist Story Okay, none of y’all are dog enough to step up to the digital a story a day in may task, but this dog is going for the full ride. There is so much to choose from in the ds106 assignments submitted by participants, and if that is not enough, there is some place with like […]

- Dead or Alive? cc licensed flickr photo shared by Justin Shearer On Saturday, unless my co-presenters have me kidnapped and dropped with cement shoes into False Creek, Brian Lamb, Chris Lott, and I are tossing out a Northern Voice 2010 session on I’m Not Dead Yet:.. Blogging Every few months some pundit posts something online stating that blogging […]

- Pirate Update In the “I am not sure why people should care (but there are 80 people on Facebook who say they do) department– the latests news on my fight to escape the clutches of my mobile internet provider’s contract is that Alltel still has me in their brig. I’d like to say that I have a […]

- Done with PodPress Plugin. Bye. I’ve tried for months to get the WordPress PodPress plugin to behave- on multiple sites it just plum refuses to embed the player in the page. Every option is set to display the player, I can see it in the source, and it fails. And it seems like it gets upgraded once a week, each […]
- For A Spammer, Any Web Form is An Orifice Asking to Be Filled This is an old, tired, dog beaten story on this blog, but for the umpteenth time I’ve had to modify some web form that sis et up to collect data, because some script junkie decided to fill the form fields with PPC URLS (links to porn, pills, casinos, the un-holy trinity). It’s all in the […]
- Arizona Flowers to Ireland: Nowpublic “Crowd Powered Media” What seem like everyday occurrences of connectivity across the web would have been beyond my wildest dreams back in the mid 1990s when just hand coding web pages and linking was intoxicating enough. I almost forgot about this interesting series of small events. In late march of this year, our daffodils started blooming up at […]

- WordPress Theme Philosophy I thought it was longer, but it was only a bit over a year ago I switched from my MovableTyle CogDogBlog over to its incarnation in WordPress. Having rolled out perhaps 5 or 6 other WP blogs I was thinking of blogging out my strategy for dealing with some of the coolest aspects of Wp, […]

- WordPress Search Bookmarklet As part of the blog transition I took a spin at creating a new tool that would create a WordPress search bookmarklet, more or less a quick re-do of the one I originally created for MovableType. It is even easier to construct for WordPress, as all you need to know is the base URL for […]

- “Lo-Tec Tools for Creating Learning Objects” (or just describing ’em?) “Scissors, Scotch Tape, Post-its, Magic Markers and Colorforms: “LO-Tec” Tools (and Toys) for Creating Learning Objects” has been getting some blog echos [here, here, there…] but once again, I take on the role of Clara Peller and ask, “Where’s the Beef?” When we will stop the endless harping on creating metadata and do something with […]
- Feeding the Feedback (“U Suk”) We crave feedback, right? That is the tickle bloggers get when there is email notification that someone has posted a comment. That is the reason why we build commenting features into system. It is what we look for in our online courses. It is what sends the blood boiling when spammers use this channel to […]
