- Back After a Break: The CogDogBlogMuzzle for a Week of Comment Blogging Given the faithful rising to the Reverend’s Come to Bava call to Blog or Die I want to pick up on the followup invocation of Always Be Commenting. I’ve long clung to the idea that the scope of blogging is not just what you publish on your site but how you contribute, participate to others […]

- A Direct Connection For Certification Content While I have a fairly well-formed image in my head how the Creative Commons Certification system will flow, at times (many times) despite efforts to sketch and explain, I wonder if others do. I will keep trying. And I think/hope it will be clearer as we roll out in the next month or two, more […]

The class is EDIT 572: Digital Audio/Video Design and Applications: Provides basic knowledge of the range of capabilities of available audio and video design applications.

- Be More Careful Erasing History, Todd! Todd Conaway created a masterful animated GIF, riffing from John Johnston. I am concerned for Todd’s safety as seems to be not aware of the consequences of erasing history! I think we’re gonna need a bigger GIF.

- I Sent This For You to Read [markup, remix, etc] cc licensed ( BY SA ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog Do not get me wrong, I am rather proud and excited to have my 10 copies of Educause Review that includes my article. The thing is… I don’t know what to do with them. I’ve read my own piece more than enough before publication, […]
- No More Stories From Jack cc licensed ( BY SA ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog “Alan hope this finds you well. Jack passed away quietly on Friday, Feb 1, at 7 am.” In one short email message, a doorway sadly closed. Jack was my neighbor here in Strawberry.

This one suggests a lost vacation, my first guess […]

Create a propaganda poster for ds106. Use your photo editing software of choice and write a message to […]
- Geology of a Canyon via Excel I’ve been daunted by the ds106 Spreadsheet Invasion assignment where you are charged with creating an animation using the software designed for… sales reports, etc. It is, ironically, the first Design Assignment. And one that is least frequently done. But thankfully, it was my student Tiffany who undertook it bravely in her Tale of a […]
- Nation Needs Bagman It is about time we had a Bag in Charge we can trust, which is why I am on board to elect BAGMAN for President!

- License to Font A quickly composed entry for the What the Font design assignment… Even as a kid I had a thing for the James Bond movie- I am not quite sure what parental supervision I was receiving. I had this little 007 car with petals I rode up and down the sidewalk- I cant say what connection […]
