- Why the World Would End Without Storytelling On the Web With DS106s Today’s Daily Create made me do it! That listicle glorifying title would never have gotten past my clumsy on the keyboard fingertips. I was sent to Portent Title Generator to randomly generate a title about DS106. to put in a title. Yes, I deploy the Creative Tool No Artist or Writer Should be Without in May […]
- Where Did/Will Everyone Go? There is a myth. Cue the string section. That there was once a place for all to gather, share, be festive, develop new connections, every course a hashtag, topple a few governments, people power. Then came an evil billionaire who ruined it all, those who gathered were cast out, a diaspora. No end. Yes the […]

- A Big Box Full of a Whole Lot of Dad Memories A Levine family thing, well mine, was when asked what I wanted for a gift. Cleverly I strategized a means to get many gifts; I would request “A big box full of a whole bunch of little toys.” My parents always obliged. The calendar and later in the day my older system reminded me that […]

- Assignment Bank Theme: Now With Embedded Media Icons Like atrophied brain muscles, tonight I was itching to do some code tinkering, so I added a new feature to the DS106 Assignment Bank Theme. It’s hardly anything the world was clamoring for (I am not sure if the world clamors to me anyhow). And I got to practice doing my git-ness right by making […]

- Happy Birthday Dad, You Left the Nude Scenes “Behind” Yesterday, Dad, you would have been 89. I could accurately call you “old man” then? I imagine this 1926 era photo of you was taken in a photography studio, and did not launch a career as a shady film star. The clarity and wonder in your eyes is always what captured by attention in this […]
- Juxtaposition in the Viewfinder Our sees see the world in wide and deep detail. Some of the magic, to me, of photography is that we use the frame of the lens to crop out just a portion. I’ve tried to see it, is in a way, creation by deletion (strangely producing no google search results, though Newspaper Blackout poetry […]

- MOOCopoly: The Game I typically tell people the ds106 Daily Create is something that should take less than 20 minutes per day, hence today I spent maybe 2.5 hours on mine. It’s not a rule, it’s a choice. Today’s one was special though. I am visiting David Kernohan and Vivien Rolfe in Bristol, and David’s son Ben is […]

- Contouring Your Way cc licensed ( BY SA ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog The direct path from here to that ridge, was a huge loop to the left, and quite a bit of up and down to get there. The view from my back deck looks across the valley to a high ridge, one that looks continuous […]
- Happy Belated Birthday Dad cc licensed ( BY SA ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog Sorry I missed your birthday yesterday, Dad. I did get my calendar reminder, and woah, you’d be 87. Twenty years ago you were in Phoenix to climb Camelback Mountain for a special day. And the last one we celebrated together for your 75th is […]
- The New Beatrice If you watched TV in the mid 1980s you should recall the smarmy commercial for some megacorp that apparently owned more food products than you could name (Airstream, Altoids, Avis, Blue Valley, Butterball, Culligan, Ekrich, Good & Plenty, Hunt’s, Jolly Rancher, Krispy Kreme, La Choy, Meadow Gold, Orville Redenbacher, Peter Pan, Playtex, Reddi Wip, Samsonite, […]

- Early On The X Just wanna stake my claim… Look for big announcement soon about CogDogx cause just like the ‘i” prefix of a few years ago, an “x” suffix is the new shnizzle — Alan Levine (@cogdog) December 30, 2011 Of course, the “big announcement” is 404, because I was just playing. But the “x” factor is going […]

- This is a Call (for new Amazing Stories of Openness) I’m doing a third round of Amazing Stories of Openness, as an invited keynote for the Spring ETUG Workshop (June 2-3 in what is usually described as “lovely Nelson, BC) . An Amazing Story is you sharing an example of something unexpected that happened as a result of you sharing something on the open web- […]
- Story a Day in May #2: Animated Bryan For day 2 od the digital story a day month, I am strong. I am not wavering. In honor of the crazy movement that started ds106 even before it started, I made an animated GIF of my good friend Bryan Alexander. I visited with him and his family yesterday, and besides playing nerf gun wars […]

- Gone West flickr foto Window Vignettesavailable on my flickr There is some sort of story told in these window reflections, I am just not sure what they are. I’m in San Francisco for 2 days of NMC meetings… if time allows, I am eager to get out on the streets with my camera. My memories roll back […]
- Not Sure If I Would Order This Online While checking out some office supply items, the first bulleted one made me take a second look: Yeah, you could pay for the change but what actually arrives in the brown package left on your doorstep?
- Rocking Podcasting GarageBanding I am just scraping the surface with a first experience creating an enhanced podcast in GarageBand, but software designers take note– this is the way podcast editing should happen. Drag and drop your mp3 music into a sound track. drop or record your voide in a voice track, drop image files into the podcast track […]
- First (not Last) BSOD It was bound to happen, the first Blue Screen Of Death on the Bootcamped XP side of my MacBookPro (wow, I might order the T-shirt). I was trying to install Skype– well it did install, but running it brought me BSOD. The first time, on reboot, XP did its repair job; the second time it […]

- Spammers Again At Every Web Form Oriface Previously I have documented the new Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) diagnosis of SpamNymphomania, the sad, desperate attempt to stick Porn Pill Casino links into any web form that contains a textarea and a submit button. In extremely sad cases, they continue to do so when there is no payoff at all, […]

- Dan Sez Bloggers Need to Get Out More… So I Did Actually, my weekend adventure was not influenced at all by Dan Gillmor’s post One Reason Bloggers Need to Get Out More , but I thought I would not give him credit anyhow 😉 Getting out is good for the mind, soul, and body, so Sunday morning, from our escape hideaway on Strawberry Arizona, I mounted […]
