- Ignore. A Launch Over the ActivityPub Test Range Indeed, this post is a test. With the move of this olde barge of a blog from Reclaim Hosting’s shared hosting to Reclaim Cloud, the WordPress Activity Pub seems not to by firing out via @barking in Mastodon. On the publishing side, I see the WordPress wheels spinning in the process, but it never completes. […]

- the pulse of net.art It’s no surprise that Jay Hoffman writing about The Analog Web caught my eye, not for nostalgia, but something that circles forward. I’ve been following Jays History of the Web writing since, well I can’t remember when, and am pleased to see he has gotten federated. Of many points I could grab as a Gardner […]

- A Random Voice Reader/Mixer now with Docs! My speed of blogging is one of those limit curves approaching a large stretch of time. But hey, no one really notices but me. I thought I had not even written up this first fun tool I made, to make it possible to generate a random mixture of different voices, reading the same text, done […]

- The Pursuit of Contextless Media Could this be another harbinger of a post (first time ever using that word) on the dearth of image attribution? Heck yes. But not because of the lack of giving credit where it ought to be, more so because with with context-less shared media the cut off at the knees of curiosity of learning anything […]

- Solutionism by Experts, Polarized Viewpoints… It’s Dog Training So you think education is plagued by solutionism, evangelizing experts, and extreme viewpoints that make people choose camps– it’s nothing compared to the world of information about… dog training. Talk about voracious blog commenting and virtual rock tossing! My new sweet dog Felix has one major problem- he does not like being left alone. This […]

- I am the New Flickr. I am an Ass. modidied from creative commons licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by El Bibliomata The new flickr is an ass. I got over its ass way of “””supporting””” with creative commons (triple scare quotes, flickr’s implementation is anything but an implementation). But this dog can find the ways around asses. I am not all that […]
- Enquire Within Upon Everything: True Stories of the Wondrous Web Yesterday I had fun with a keynote presentation for the eLearning Consortium of Colorado 2014 Conference. This was the 25th annual conference for this rather impressive, under-the-radar collaborative organization, that has been networking and sharing for 25 years. You can find all the presentation resources at http://cogdog.wikispaces.com/Enquire+Within+eLCC+2014 Enquire Within Upon Everything: True Stories of the […]

- A Day Without Hearing About MOOCs is… This is for @pumpkiny, trapped in an edupreneur conference full of MOOC hustlers… I could go for that, so who is going to be the 2000-teens version of Anita Bryant? “He’s not a talking bird, he’s a thinking bird. He thinks MOOC” Sorry, MOOC mocking helps me stay sane.

- I Am An Agent I finally passed my certification, confirmed after a rigid test of endurance at the Sportsman’s Chalet in Strawberry Arizona (branch offices at Falconetti’s in East Vancouver) created under the influence at Disinformation’s Generator
- Power of Paper Prototyping I got a nice memory pingback when reading a the recent update from Evernote — later below I’ll go back to my experience trying this, but they were describing their approach about designing a new version of their app for the iPad (THIS IS NOT A POST ABOUT iPADS. THIS IS NOT A POST ABOUT […]

- My Docs Can Speak – Free Text to Speech from Zamzar Zamzar is a very powerful striped cone-headed frog…. Actually Zamzar is a very handy, web-base, free tool for converting files – different types of graphics, audio or document files (dealing with those infernal Microsoft Office *.docx or *.pptx file types). You upload a file, and Zamzar the Wonder Converter emails you later with a link […]

- Sometimes One Stellar Session Can Rescue a Conference Experience While my enthusiasm for the eLearning confernce I am at may be low, largely due to my own self applied over commitment and trying to work on 8 other things while on the road… it is amazingly re-assuring that one great session can make up for all the rest. Such was the case with this […]

- YaGoohoo!gle Yahoo Google Side by Side Shoot Out Who is better? Yahoo or Google? How do they compare for specific searches? YaGoohoo!gle, which apparently started out as an April Fool’s joke. is now more than a joke. Via a simple, familiar search form, this site will produce a side by side search result from the big two engines. The author’s blog offers some […]
- Dog Rap: HTTP in tha House More frivolity (blog tip of the hat to Kottke) for HTTP in tha House. You submit a URL, and the web site extracts the text, combines them into 16 lines, uses a rhyming dictionary, and pops out a series of random rap-like lyrics. Real word use? minimal. Fun and randomness? priceless. Here is the new […]
