- That Photo Thing, Again This moment is familiar. A series of thoughts having swirled around the brain space, whispering, there is something here to write about. The thoughts often lack a destination, so this is not writing with a planned plot, but one that may emerge. The other thoughts the first one keeps bumping into is the sense that […]

- 2020 Zoomed By(e) Among the many unanticipated outcomes of 2020 is the genericizing of a product brand name into the vernacular (I have been waiting like 20 years to have a reason to use “vernacular” in a sentence). It’s like what happened when a translucent, colorless, flavorless food ingredient, commonly derived from collagen derived from the boiled bones, connective tissues […]

- A Blocky Gutenburger Addition For Flickr CC Attribution Helper There’s something to be said for making your own tech tools; you certainly know quickly if something goes awry (though you cannot complain much about the tool provider). Something I made first almost 10 years ago is the flickr cc attribution helper. If you take on the task some think too arduous to give credit […]

- Wagga Days at the spot along the Murrumbidgee Yikes, I am a month behind in blogging. I loathe back blogging. No one, of course really cares. Well I do. But the rest of my trip on Australia, the part following the part of the trip for the ISS Institute fellowship are needing this reflection. I could have zipped home after my two weeks, […]

- That Old Fix The TV Trick You’ve likely come across the most common suggestion for fixing a computer problem. A related precedent is one I remember from the screens of my era- those old vacuum tube powered TVs. Quite often the way to fix a problem was not the restart, but a slap on the side. My little plastic one I […]

- Cannonball Stage Line I am a sucker for road signs, and my rule is if it takes you more than a mile to question whether to turn around, you have gone too far. My first thought was the movie “Cannonball Run” and with the morning light at my back, thought it would work well with my truck in […]
- Won’t GIF Fooled Again What to GIF tonight? I was recalling a few photos I took of something in West Texas I spotted on my trip home in December. Then the lightning bolts flew, so thanks to Rowan Peter for the idea on my Who GIFs to include some Pete Townsend Windmill Powered GIFness I had a series of […]

- Iconic [Animated] Moi Dog on a laptop. It’s time to warm up the ds106 assignment muscles, given that it is almost 2012, and things are already ramping up as evidenced by actual posts going on over at bavatuesdays. My plan is to comb through the assignments and find some that may have been lightly touched; but we are […]

- The End of Extras as We Knew Them Modified from cc licensed flickr photo shared by One Thousand Words A few weeks ago I got a redemption code from Apple for a free move rental from iTunes– I chose to use it to watch Inception (I’m still resonating or reverberating with this movie, so this is not a review). It’s that “rental” in […]

- Did Someone Change the Drapes? I’m slow to change some things…. I have had the same self modded theme on CogDogBlog since November 2005 (see the last face lift), so 4+ years later, I felt it was time to toy with some new digs. But I am impulsive (I can speed shop with the best of them), so I looked […]

- Did Not Get that Music Toy you wanted for Xmas? Try JamStudio JamStudio is a nifty online music mixer where you can compose and publish your own tunes. You put music keys on the score, select instruments, set tempo, etc: You can create multiple “pages” of music; I just played quickly to create two “originals” (hah, just quick futzing around): Cowboy Glitter [448k MP3] Rain on the […]
