- This is a Test This is a post of the CogDogBlog Federated Publishing System. This is only a test. Nah, it;s a real blog post! But my last post was not published to the Fediverse and the kind folks who make the software and actually respond like humans suggested the newest version of the ActivityPub plugin should make amends. […]

- Little Cameras. Gigapan(oramas). Big Hearts. Strap in (or hit eject) for a long blog ride. This has been one of those percolating drafts, meaning it has not progressed far from my head. But time is essencing. As there are a wave of steps to weave together, I am borrowing in all sense of honoring, not stealing, a section convention from […]

- Putting the “C” in DS106 Nothing has been more essential and affirming and still fueling my every day work than being part of DS106. I’ve not taught a class since 2014 yet I still spend time queueing up Daily Creates and even yesterday cooking up a web form to collect new art for the web site. Since 2011, xMOOCs have […]

- Scheduling Stuff to Happen in WordPress Most people will never need such a thing in a WordPress site, but outside the boxes of blogging, where WordPress is a Swiss Army Knife, there are situations where you need to run a script or do something on a regular interval. Maybe it’s polling social media. Maybe it’s updating some information about your site. […]

- Pirates of the Moocibbean You’re an explorer out there on the intrepid waters of educational technology, sailing the hand made frigate with a few trusty colleagues. You’ve faced tsunamis, avalanches, world flattening forces. And then some IPO funded black ship from Silicon Valley sails in and plunders all your reputational booty. What else can an explorer do but pick […]

- Animated Water During my hike today to see Dark Hollow waterfall (in Shenandoah National Park), I did some more experiments with doing some rapid sequence shot of the water detail. It was cloudy, but ay ISO 200 I set the aperture open enough for fast shutter speeds 1/1250, 1/3200 to freeze the motion, and taking a rapid […]
- GIFfing History I’ve been a month in Fredericksburg, living just around the corner from locations of major Civil War battles 150 years ago. On Friday, I took a stroll down Sunken Road, a place where the Confederate Forces held a commanding position on a hill, and some 15,000 Union soldiers died trying to charge it. That’s war, […]

- Today’s Lucky Stumbling Find: Turn Any Part of Web Page into Dashboard Widget Again, nothing warms this web dog’;s heart that accidentally discovering something useful. With my two daily photo habits (@dailyshoot and 2010/365 photos) I am continually having to seek out specific bits of information. For dailyshoot I check in the morning what the assignment is usually by a visit to their twitter page or checking an […]

- Save a Word by Adoption 2009/365/63 Adoption Papers by cogdogblog posted 4 Mar ’09, 7.58pm MST PST on flickr Adoption is a serious consideration, one that requires planning. This is certainly not the case today. Be almost sheer accident, today I stumbled into Save The Words (Nancy White tweeted a ning site about visual poetry and I found the link […]
- I’m a Visual Poet / Didn’t Know It Visual Poetry with phrasr by cogdogblog posted 4 Mar ’09, 7.58pm MST PST on flickr Oh this flickr based site was way too much fun. Read my deep philosophical poem here www.pimpampum.net/phrasr/?id=15932 With phrasr, you enter a phrase to illustrate, and for each word, it provides a photo from flickr. You can choose to swap […]

- Dru Glu and Friends With Brian’s announcement that Gardner Campbell is visiting Vancouver this week (shucks, wish I could have extended the stay another week… or forever), I remain tickled at the shelf life of my silly graphic there— and more so that Gardner even sometimes refers to himself as “Dr Glu”. These were from a series of images […]

This was created with TextMarks, a free service where you can set up a keyword so when someone TXTs it will get back either fixed response, or as I […]

- What The Students Say Friday was our monthly meeting of the Ocotillo Online Learning Group (OLG) and we had a lot of anticipation, since this was our second annual meeting where we arranged a panel discussion with Maricopa students so they could tell us of their online learning experiences. Last year, it was lively, and packed the room with […]

- Closing Some of the Comments All of the Time Back in November 2003, when I was wasting a lot of time dealing with blog spam, I wrote blogged the approach I took to close comments for this site after an entry had been up for 30 days. In a nutshell, I have a timed job calling a PHP script that rummages through the MT […]
