- Fade Out on the Mentor of Research Mentor In the “I’m not ready for more of this department” two days ago a good colleague from my days of yore at the Maricopa texted with a message sharing sad news that Rod Freeman had passed away. Googling his name will not reveal much, but Rod was special as he was the very first faculty […]

- Increase your Potential Serendipity Energy at #OERxDomains21 I could not be more excited to see the forces of the Association for Learning Technologies (ALT) doubling up with Reclaim Hosting to smash the atoms of their respective OER and Domains conferences together for the upcoming OERxDomains21 conference. Well I was excited enough to volunteer for the conference planning team. And you should be […]

- Mimetically Yours, Weird Buildings It happens so often and ends up being blogged that I’ve tagged this phenomenon freetousewonders. I open a new browser tab in Chrome and the Library Congress Free to Use Extension knocks on my curiosity door with a random public domain image. This time, what you might see as a blank white screen of nothingness, […]

- Irony and Irrationality 1, Me 0 A day after a somewhat bemused post about the irrationality of systems such as parking, the system bit back hard. About a little before noon I went out to drive my truck downtown. On my way out I left the latest parking ticket with the front desk for them to call it in again. To […]

- Grandfather I Never Knew My family calendar, now on Google, reminds me that tomorrow is the day my mother’s father passed away, in 1957, years before I was even born. I guess you can say he would have been something like 112 years old. I hardly know much about Harry. He emigrated from Poland in the early part of […]

- US Airways Makes Me as a Customer Feel Showered in Warmth public domain image from Wikimedia Commons I strive not to be one of those travelers who whine about their travel woes. On a return trip a month ago, a delay out of Buffalo left me with an unplanned overnight stat in Chicago, and I played it out as an adventure game. That was a return […]

- We Can Flip More Than Classrooms cc licensed ( BY NC ND ) flickr photo shared by thebassoonist12 If a classroom can be flipped to make better use of time and group processes, why are we not flipping more things? I’ve spent three days in Austin attending a conference in the same model going back how Ook ran them in 2500 […]
- Jux a Storybox In exploring some new tools for rich media publishing, I took a return visit to http://jux.com a site for publishing magazine style media sites, that fill the screen. In many ways, it could be a blog-ish like thing, or a portfolio, or a tumblr that is not just another tunblr. Maybe I don’t know what […]
- Honoring Sue cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog One of the many highlights of last summer’s road trip was a chance to visit someone who was a key influence on my career and life in a powerful, indirect way. On International Women’s Day, I want to recognize Sue Kieffer, who was my PhD […]

- Explore Video Timeline with Flickr Clock Maybe a flickr easter egg, but you cannot find this site from flickr’s explore, so check out the Flickr Clock. It presents a timeline of flickr videos: It may take a bit long to load as it seems to be hitting the flickr api pretty hard. So find an interval in time, and you can […]
- CogDog’s Law of Service Providers: They All Suck or will Eventually Suck cc licensed flickr photo by Edd Dumbill I’ve done (more than) my share of posting complaints about companies. AT&T. Alltel. Dreamhost. Invariably, someone will chime in that either (a) they have not had an problems with Xxxxxxxx or that (b) Yyyyyyyyy is better. There is a problem of extending one’s individual experiences to everyone. My […]

- Steven Johnson and Henry Jenkins at SXSW Steven Johson and Henry Jenkins by cogdogblog posted 8 Mar ’08, 7.41pm MST PST on flickr Opening remarks by Steve Johnson and Henry Jenkins were excellent! What a killer lineup! And look, no Powerpoint! It was just Steve and Henry having a conversation in front of maybe1000 people. Jenkins is just so articulate in a […]
- SXSW Session on “Mashing Up ARGs and Video Games” Late in the afternoon I lurked in the session on “Cross-Media Cross-Pollination: Mashing Up Video Games and ARGs” a panel session with Tony Walsh (Phantom Compass), Dan Hon (Six to Start), Dee Cook (addlepated.net) all people involved with creating top shelf ARGs (look it up yourself). It seemed the audience was pretty knowledgeable about Alternate […]
- Design By Filching Session (SXSW) My first day on the ground at SXSW- a conference on a Texas sized scale! The Austin convention center is a massive city. Early notes- they are really organized with staff and helpful people every step of the way trough registration; only took about 12 minutes to move through long line. Double bonus points because […]
- My Network Probability Cloud … PLEase I owe Chris Lott this blog post, having watched him this week grow tired of the PLE flak, bust out a brawl at the twitter bar, and then for me, state clearly what his interest was (he probably said it much earlier, but I miss things). So I get it, now, he wants to have […]

- The Tales of Travel I’m in Denver 2.5 days for an NMC Directors and Board meeting, with a rather packed schedule leaving little moments for blogging. Well, I have about 10 waiting from my hotel room to do a 1o minute Second Life / NMC overview for a group of maybe 60 participants at the university of MIchigan. You […]

- The Most Pathetic Comment Spam Ever I get lots of comment spam. Or better yet, my SK2 Spam filters do, they fill up and flow over every day. I usually ignore the email notifications and just do a quick dump every few days. But this is the most pathetic attempt (but I am sure there are spam weasels out there that […]

- Everybody Posting – Invite the World to Author Your Blog? This is curious and interesting- Everbody Posting is a blog set up to use the e-mail to post functionality of Blogger so that anyone can send a post via e-mail. Is it sort of a Wikified blog? A public wall open to graffiti? A Spam target (the email address is presented as an image to […]

- Stupid Email Request of the Week Set up a feedback form on your web site, and you get cruft like: I am a marketer and am interested in buying the e-mail addresses of all your community colleges. Sure! Your odds are as good as a July blizzard in Phoenix. At least this spam merchant was direct.
