Blogged This Day

Scrolling back the blog in time, inspired by John Johnston to see all posts posted on today’s date in previous years. This is achieved via the WP Posted Today plugin (that’s one I made!).

    • Just Click the Buttons They Give You? Or Make Gizmos like a Mastodon Archiver Likely a mis-applied generalization, but in a few different education spheres I am sensing that both the overload of new tech and the adoption of pre-built systems are contributing to a decline in the will/awareness to look being what an interface presents us. Thus the shiny front allure of GenAI to vibe the work for […]

    • Scraping all Bird Droppings from Pechaflickr Not that it means a hill of garbanzo beans to anyone, but I’ve pretty much stuck a fork in Twitter, the platform I will only call Twitter. I’m not deleting, I just logged out. Still, I have a number of projects, web sites, of trace importance to most but me, that are still encrusted with […]

    • Presented for #PressEdConf20: Tweet into the SPLOT Request Line In this unprecedented overuse of the phrase “unprecedented times” what is more appropriate, and a flavor change of all day Zoom sessions, than a conference run completely over Twitter? It sounds unlikely possible, but here again for it’s 3rd year (aka No Need to Pivot Online), I continue to be impressed/amazed/relieved at the 2020 PressEDConference. […]

    • It’s One Thing to Talk About Accepting the FAIL… The whole notion of learning from failure is a motivational speaker industry. And it’s been part of my messaging, just recently for a talk to education students at the University of Regina. I often start technology talks with a promise that the technology will likely fail: If it does fail, then I met my expectations. […]

    • Dropped in a Bucket Talking about a bucket list feels a bit cliché to me. But I do keep something like that floating in my subconscious, as happened back in 2006 when I made a secret vow to run a half marathon. I did cross another “to do” from my list about two weeks ago. It involves the story […]

    • A New Web House for the Randall House Just to show that not every one of my recent web design projects relied on the Treble template, here is another site I made recently for my friend’s restaurant in Pine Arizona, The Randall House The owner had been left in a bind by the last person who promised a site; for maybe a year […]
    • New Flickr Trashes Creative Commons Attribution Helper Since 2009 I have maintained what was once just a greasemonkey script, but later a chrome extension that was designed primarily to help me blog with flickr creative commons attribution photos (it provided a string of text with proper attribution, license, and the img tag to embed the image). As of yesterday, when apparently yahoo […]

    • Make Two GIFs and Blog Me in the Morning Something to unclog the CogDogBlog Blog Clog… both of these were made on the long trip back from Hong Kong. I wish I had talked more to the guy who makes the naan at United World College East Campus in Singapore, or at least, gotten his name. Every day, blissfully, he whipped together these luscious […]

    • Skamper Gone a Decade Curse you Google calendar with your accurate reminders. Curse you for being so prim about it. Especially when I really need to just get a night of sleep longer than 5 hours. Curse you.. Well, I cannot really go down that route. But I just got a little pop up message and it says it […]
    • Week 10: The Video Juggernaut Continues The video assignments are a ton of work, we know it. The pace continues this week (and we have some room to relax the deadlines, so stop fretting). While the assignments are intensive, do not forget to do a detailed write up in your blog post with your assignment work: Include the name of the […]

    • CogDogLogPens This is the final chapter to the story I wrote earlier this month of how a photo of some potential firewood I posted on flickr led me to mailing a log to Canada… and now Di has worked her magic wood turning and returned to me two lovely pens made from my wood! cc licensed […]

    • It’s Easy to Throw Real Stones at Virtual Glass Houses My, how virtual worlds have tarnished. From all the high expectations of 2006, people calling for the coming of the “3D web”, and its been a year since the crows on the wire started sqwaking the “Second Life is Dead” as the big corporations who responded to the flash of light packed up their virtual […]

    • Fishing / Fish Nuggets A majority of my blog posts are spontaneous spurts, yet sometimes, an idea takes root somewhere in the gray matter, and just sits there quietly demanding to be let out. This one has been rattling around, and tonight demands to see that publish button clicked. So there is a strand here, some storytelling, and a […]

    • DFW Dash Ponderings likely not worth reading… What is traveling without inane stories of airport mishaps? What is an appropriate way to answer the question when someone invariably asks, “how was your flight?” — do you want a flight to be anything but uneventful? It was not until I was on the plane leaving a gorgeous sunny […]

    • A Bit Overly Excitable Over Learning Object Tool? Dogs get rather excited easily. Just jangle your car keys and they are all over you for a ride. Reach down for your shoes, and they are halfway out the door, leash in mouth. I have seen the same in the blog community over the announcement of the US Labor Department’s offer of a free […]
