- Once Again Into the Year With Daily Photos Sure a new year means all kinds of things (sans resolutions) for me it’s time to mark another year done at the Daily (but never everyday) Photo effort. Thus 2023 makes it the 16th year for this habit I do no want to shake. To recast the story again, it goes back to the solo […]

Press 2 to see a random photo. Press 3 to have us create an old school browser bookmarklet…” Hmmm, someone pressed the 3 button. This is an outflow of the recent […]

- In Explore: Rising 2018 / Setting on 2017 What a way to close out 2017! My very last photo uploaded to flickr made it into flickr explore. Like usual, the notification of being added to the group to tracks photos In Explore came in after midnight. I grabbed a screen shot on my phone while it was still visible above the fold: Another […]

- Person to Person: That’s How My Kind of Internet Works Likely you have had the experience of a problem with the way a web site works, or information that is wrong missing, and finding it nearly impossible to communicate with a human. I had this issue with the site where I order my mail order prescriptions – the phone number was wrong, the message I […]

- Unpeeling Big Data and Goofy Movie Genre Generators: I Can Dig It Bryan Alexander recently shared his information wrangling routine, and it gives some insight to just how coherently he scans, processes, and re-shares information. But how do you categorize the serendipitous sniffing that defies such orderly processes? I find the most interesting stuff in the most haphazard ways. Like today. Among the twitter flow, I saw […]

- ds106 Work That in[SPIRE]s cross-posted from ds106.us… This is something we usually ask our students to do near the end of the semester that we did not do for Fall of 2012… and in fact, I think its best done outside the scope of the class. It’s also something that any interested person who looks at, participates, or just […]
- Cause, You Know, in Arizona, Everyone is Packing Heat The other morning I was out aiming for some photos of the fresh snow on the pines in my back yard- my timing was good as a passing jet was scratching the sky with contrails, and in a flash I aimed to angle a photo with it in the background of a branch. cc licensed […]
- Life in the 4G Lane cc licensed (BY) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog With the recent Verizon upgrade here to 4G it eas time to upgrade my Mifi unit; the old one (right) a Novatel 2020, was one of the originals. It’s virtue was I had an unlimited data plan. But its connectivity here was quirky.. and my iPhone is […]

- Flickry Me I’m on a code burn. After explaining yesterday how I built a JavaScript fueled site for a random generator, I went on a string of ideas that led me to be exploring ways to access recent photos from flickr using just JavaScript. Here I will explain how the “flickry me” site works (http://lab.cogdogblog.com/flickry/), which for […]
- Apophenia in My ESP cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by psychemedia A few days ago the Great and Magical Visualization Wizard, Sir (I shall knight him) Tony Hirst posted to flickr this “Quick sketch – @cogdog follower ESP”– an analysis of my own twitter followers, who they follow, or how he described it: This sketch was […]

- Results of Unscientific Experiment in Recommendations cc licensed flickr photo shared by Anonymous9000 A few days ago, I pushed out an Unscientific Experiment in Recommendations; I asked in three different places (a) this blog; (b) twitter; and (c) Facebook three different requests for reccommendations: I am Looking for a Quality Photo Tripod Adios iPhone / AT&T Hello Android / Verizon? (maybe) […]

- Make Art Not/From Spam 4 Days of Spam by cogdogblog posted 2 Jan ’09, 9.14pm MST PST on flickr Made by www.wordle.net from 4 days worth of spam caught in my GMail filters. This might be more pleasing than the cruft that I scraped from my spam nets.
- Goals, Resolutions… Excuse Me While I Yawn more funny animals Oh, it’s that time of the year. Left and right people are blogging, tweeting, facebooking, friendfeeding, their lofty goals for 2009 and all their resolutions to Get in Shape, Lose Weight, Get Organized, Do Something Charitable, Clean My Inbox etc.. Will sees value on blogging less. Beth offers great detail to address […]
- Calculator Surprise Change in Orientation- Change in Function by cogdogblog posted 2 Jan ’09, 9.51am MST PST on flickr By sheer accident, I found when using the Calcuator app on my iPhone, it becomes a scientific calculator (more functions, more precision) when you rotate the phone. This is elegantly beautiful. Some days I feel arithmetic and other […]

- There’s a Metaphor Here Somewhere Yesterday I dutifully filled the bird feeders for all the numerous finches, jays, acorn wood peckers that I imagine are pretty hungry in the cold winter up on the Mogollon Rim, Arizona. As i was working today, out my window about 3 feet away, I watched this gray suited thug empty the feeder in about […]

- Linktributing Images In some ways this is part two of the “walking the tools” rant. I still see a rather low awareness of the power of making use of creative commons licensed content ad I put out the call to fellow edubloggers to be more vigilant on demonstrating the use of CC content…. and being a model […]
- Walking The Tools I confess I am a web tool junkie. Surely everybody who’s had to deal with me on a project was heard something like, “why don’t we use a wiki for that?” or “why not tag the resource links on del.iciou.us?” or “ewwww, a listserv, that is so 1980s”. It’s a reflex, likely annoying. If I […]

- Rock Rustlin’ at Strawberry Ranch flickr foto Rock Rustlin’available on my flickr Using a pickup to pull a boulder out of a hole intended for a tree. Not all of our holiday break time was lounging around the cabin vegetating to DVDs. This is a little sport we call “rock rustling”. You see, our property sits flat, but falls away […]
- Where Do All The Books Grow? flickr foto Books, Books, Booksavailable on my flickr Where do all the books come from that find their way to a thrift store in Flagstaff? More blogging via flickr… Maybe 1 or 2 readers may recall I’ve been doing all my personal book purchases at thrift stores. Sometimes, staring at a room stuffed full of […]
- Strawberry Mountain Reflected flickr foto Strawberry Mountain Reflectedavailable on my flickr Another photoblogged thing while I am tossing up a pile of new photos to flickr. I am continually fascinated by the reflections the bright Arizona light creates off of our 1999 VW Beetle. The car is fun to drive, but crikie! all the parts are plastic and […]
- Tree Lights Exposed flickr foto Tree Lightsavailable on my flickr Another round with a manual and lonig night time exposure. Our Christmas tree is a live Austrian Black pine we will plant after New Years. While on break, I had fun experimenting shooting in full manual mode with the Canon Digital Rebel XT. I forgot how much I […]
- Who Needs a Dropping Ball? flickr foto Who Needs a Dropping Ball?available on my flickr Any little town can have a ball drop for New Year’s Eve… in Flagstaff, Arizona, a giant metal pine cone will fall to usher in 2006. Continuing 2006’s opening blogs in flickr onli… It’s New Year’s Eve. Dropping some ball in Time’s Square is so […]
- Lost Numbers Found in Flagstaff flickr foto Found Numbersavailable on my flickr Here in a men’s room at the Flagstaff Brewery are those pesky bad luck numbers that someone Lost. Shall we play them in the lottery? So there I was, taking care of… mmmm. “business” in the men’s room at the Flagstaff Brewery, when these familiar numbers were there […]
- The View flickr foto Office With a Viewavailable on my flickr This is where a spent most of the time during the holiday break in Strawberry Arizona. The cubicle next door has a hot tub. The odometer has rolled over 2006 and tomorrow marks the first day back at the office. Since I’m coming off a splendid […]

- A Bit of Edu Torrents? I’ve got some back of the cranium wonderings about educational uses of BitTorrent — if this has not yet crossed your scope, check out the January 2005 Wired article The BitTorrent Effect (no, the article does not star Ashton Kutcher as BT creator Bram Cohen): BitTorrent lets users quickly upload and download enormous amounts of […]
