- Finding (not generating) Stories of Aunt Doris Last month I did some of my family history unraveling in honor of my Aunt Dorothy’s birthday, as she is the last living sibling of my Mom. The 1934 family photo of all five got me thinking of my mother’s brother, Harvey, the only boy. The expressions in these photos match my Mom’s stories when […]
- Flickr Daily Photos 17th trip Around the Sun (oops, look at who has been using WordPress for 20 years and still forgets to click “Publish”) For those with an eye for numbers and dates, January 1, 2024 has some math going- whether you are month/date/year or date/month/year, as Tristan Louis pointed out you have some fun progressive number addition January 1 also means […]

- From Countdown to Countup This comes from the “I Did Not Expect to Spend Time Code Fixing This Tiny Thing But is It Ever Rewarding When a Hunch Pans Out” department. I kind of blame/credit my good friend Roland Tanglao (subscribe to his blog, something I had lapsed on doing, bad dog!). I’ve known Roland since the early early […]

- A Fistful of Western DS106 That’s the classic Man With No Name minimal utterance “Get three more coffins ready” in the clip from Sergio Leone’s spaghetti western masterpiece A Fistful of Dollars (I love how after the gunfight scene that follows he says, as holstering his gun, “My mistake, make it four coffins”). For thinking of a DS106 trailer for […]

- Building ETMOOC Twitter Syndication/Archive UPDATE June 19, 2013 Since twitter has killed their version 1 API, there is no longer a public RSS feed provided for twitter activity. Expect new solutions to emerge, one that is usable now is this method from labnol to convert the new JSON feeds to RSS using a Google Script. This method works in […]

- Cool isn’t so cool anymore cc licensed flickr photo shared by Roberto Rizzato â–ºpix jockeyâ—„ Facebook resident We need some good ol’ radicals in being cool. You know, the types that have a vision and an ideological orientation that defies the pragmatics of reality. Stubborn, irritating, aggravating visionaries. Today, I fear, being cool is beset with a more moderate spirit. […]

- iFad? I have to admire and respect the radical gusto with which Stephen Downes postulates What Not To Build — it matters not even if I agree or disagree (which I do), is that he puts out there no holds barred, as he has done for longer than some of you kids have known what a […]
- Map This Pipe: Your Twitter Followers By sheer web search accident, I stumbled on to Andy M’s Yahoo Pipe for putting your twitter followers locations on a map: The numbers ar enot a count per country, but a number on the list of 100, and you can pop from one pin to the next in a cheap world tour. Note that […]
- Victory! Victory! Victory! cc licensed flickr photo by danielgenhart.com There is joy in Mudville this morning (=my inbox and some people claim it is not worth it to check email first thing, phooey), as in response to my battle with Icelandair a trace of humanity has been detected- they are offering to refund my money for unused tickets […]

- 2008/366 SlideFlickred; Me, Y’all Too Thanks to the precedent setting and helpful nudge of D’Arcy Norman (who did this last year), in 2008, I am pledging myself to take and post to flickr every day a photo that best captures what I as doing, or at least what I photographed that day. As D’Arcy notes, it is not easy, but […]

- Lawyers, Guns, and Websites Note: I guess I was wrong here in my assertions below. Don’t miss Greg’s comment below. Can I still be eligible for the prize drawing? Cue up the guitar riff from Warren Zevon… Somewhere, several places in the world, there are scores of people who’s job it is to scrounge the net for usage of […]

- If You See This Post… … then the server move has been successful. You are viewing the same old dog blog on a new server host, with a shorter and more memorable URL: http://cogdogblog.com/ and its RSS feed: http://cogdogblog.com/feed/ If all goes well, all old links, RSS feeds, etc from the old host at cogdogblog.com/…../ will be automatically routed here.

- Tags on Speed: 43 Things Thanks to a tip from Alex I tuned into the now released version of 43 Things, which is addictive, intensive connected, and tagged inside out. I had peeked at the beta a few weeks back, but the released version is wild, social, and amazing. It is tags, tags, and tags on speed. The premise is […]
- Essence of Podcasts Yes, I may be grumpy. No I did not get an iPod for Christmas. Despite this extreme hinderance, I have sampled a few more, and am still feeling a yawn reflex or hearing the strumming of lowdown 12-bar blues. I was thinking of the old (and still alive) Movie-A-Minute site: Let’s face it. There’s a […]
