- That Extra Day in February for Daily Photos (makes 60) It took some lubricant spray to get the Daily Photo to Flickr Habit going in January. Even with February providing one more day to summarize, and making it the Daily Photos 366 style group, I almost let is slip again. But alas, I managed to get 60 photos in 60 days posted to my 17th […]

- Tock, Tick, The Daily Trick Most likely I mangled my attempt at wordplay in that title. I’m writing again about my belief/obsession with small acts of daily creativity. I have no real research, no data to back my hypothesis, but I will make up something that applying Curly’s Law to doing something small, new, micro challenging on a regular basis […]

- 2020/366 February = 27/29 Following up from last month (nobody is tracking me) for this 13th year of daily photos I am trying to do my cleanup and review each month, thus saving me hours of labor in December. Yeah right. Hello tracker? January was perfect, February, even with it’s extra day had a 2 day gap. I chalk […]

- Blogging on a Gutenburger Diet There’s not much middle ground on people feel about the changes wrought to WordPress 5 with the Gutenberg Editor. It’s endless rabbit/duck season arguments. The people who love Gutenberg without qualms are Matt Mullenweg and the people who still work for WordPress trying to make the thing work. The people who hate Gutenberg are pretty […]

- A Pour Photo Lacktribution In ramping up for next week’s Mural UDG project on open education at the University of Guadalajara, I go back to something that, after so many years should be more enabled by technology, but is as messy as always. Giving attribution for reused photos is an old horse ridden around this blog, and this very […]

- Virtually… as in Almost… as in Not Quite… as in… I’m included with five others on a session / workshop for the upcoming OLC Innovate Conference; we are talking about Virtually Connecting — Rebecca Hogue got us together, and I think she and a few others will be on site. Maha Bali will be virtually there as are others of us, including me. Not being […]

- Share Images By Email to SPLOT Collector The SPLOT Image Collector has found resonance as a useful tool to build shared image collections. I’ve modified the admin options so a site owner can decided which of the fields they want on the form (and even designate them […]
- Some Course Recommendations for You… Since Coursera so kindly seems to share courses it thinks I might find useful, as a CogDogBlog Snarkity Service, I have sent them an email with a few course recommendations. They seem to know very little about other open courses, and what came before (and after) them. Also in flickr… This was constructed completely in […]
- Now Three Flavors of Flickr CC Attribution Helper The flickr cc attribution helper is among my most proud creations; I can pretty much tell when I read other blogs who is using it. And it all started from the most important place, something to make my blogging practice easier. I’d written earlier about an unintended outcome of moving it from a browser extension […]

- 2 Movies, 2 Photographers, 2 Murders, 2 Realities One of the side benefits of my new working/house-sharing conditions with Jim Groom is getting a chance to watch some movies together. I have a lot of backlog to catch up to his catalog, but this week we watched two classic films, that almost randomly had eerie amounts of similarity. The first was Blowup, apparently […]

- Captions Gone Bad or When Looking Back Really Makes You Cringe or Alan does not know crap about art. In my recent presentation on Looking Through The Lens I spent a little time riffing on Errol Morris’ New York Times column Liar Liar Pants on Fire. Morris leads us down the path to show that the question of […]
- ds106 ds106 I found the official ds106 restaurant in Austin- another one for the Illustrate 106 assignment cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog And am thinking we need a version of this for the theme song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4V1p1dM3snQ ds106 ds106, oh no Me gotta go Aye-yi-yi-yi, I said ds106 ds106, oh baby Me gotta […]

- Beyond Slidedeckophelia Last week I was deeply immersed (3 days x 14 hours ea) in helping run an NMC Conference in Second Life. Something that has always been obvious came knock me over with a hammer obvious – there is something perversely wrong in communicating something in a 3D space using 2D slides. cc licensed flickr photo […]

- PS On Guitar Stories I love you commenters. You make the blog go round. Following up on the last “story” post about an old electric guitar, Cole alertly noticed I’ve been playing around with my writing both here and in my flickr stream with some extended personal yarns (David’s Chair. Seeing the Door). Yes, its my blog and I […]
- Leaving Vancouver Leaving Vancouver by cogdogblog posted 2 Mar ’08, 12.39am MST PST on flickr It was an Arizona blue sky day for a departure from Vancouver. I looked back from my seat to take in one more glance at where I was the last 10 days. Oh my gosh- visit to MDM program at Great Northern […]

- Shouldn’t I Be More Suspicious? Blog comment spam is one thing, but when you get an email like: Hello Alan, I’ve been reading Cogdogblog and I love the work you are putting out. My name is Xxxxx xxxxxx. I work with Xxxx XXXXX Xxxx in Xxxxxx, Xxxxx. I would love the opportunity to chat with you about potential partnership opportunities. […]
- Nutso Twitter My twitter curiosity rose to a nice sharp peak and fell off given there’s real work to do. Like just about everyone else, my pre-twitter perspective was, “What kind of person with too much time to spend would bother IMing every time they scratched their leg?”, and then having tried it, found this strange multi-layered […]

- Wists = flickr + del.icio.us? I am not sure yet what to make of wists – visual bookmarks, yet another variant following the flickr del.icio.us trail through the mountain pile of folksonomic tag mania. Create a wist account, load a browser bar tool, and when you are surfing and want to track a site in your “collection” (a del.icio.us task), […]

- Mysteries Revealed! Inside the MLX (@NMC Mar 9) I am coming up for air…. gasp…. gasp… This is crunch week for prepping my keynote session at the NMC Online Conference, scheduled for Tuesday March 9. My Breeze-d up show is called “Mysteries Revealed! Inside the Maricopa Learning eXchange” and should be action packed, irreverent, and over the top. This will be a guided […]
- Happy Suessentenial (Go Ted Go) Today should be an international holiday, the 100th anniversary of the birth of Theodor Geisel. Yawn? Better we should have said, the 100th anniversary of the birth of Dr. Suess, that’s right today is the Suessentennial. Who cannot connect with a favorite child hood read? Therefore a re-iteration of an earlier post on this dog’s […]
