- A Tiny Tool for Google Image Searches set to Creative Commons My search history may indicate otherwise, but I feel like on a daily basis I am poking in Google Images for results licensed Creative Commons. I use one nifty trick to hasten the search, but just made another one that might be of use. The method I have used for quite some time goes back […]

- Getting, Gitting, or Goating with GitHub I’m hardly the first person to ponder ways to use the software collaboration site GitHub in a context outside of software development. There’s been a series of Chronicle of Higher Education pieces on “forking the syllabus”. There is Gitbook as a front end for using the approach for writing books. While I have used GitHub […]

- The Book That Time Forgot cc licensed ( BY SA ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog I finished a book recently. One of those old style piles of paper bound in between thicker compressed fibers. I grabbed The Caspak Trilogy by Edgar Rice Burroughs, the first 9and title on the spine) being The Land That Time Forgot (also available from […]
- Again, Apple’s Change of Interface Rrquires Another $20 Piece of Plastic to Make it Work cc licensed (BY) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog The cable end with the black tape is what goes into my Alpine stereo deck in my truck. When I got my iPhone5, with the smaller interface "Lightning" port, using it to connect to my deck (There is a standard USB port from the unit- STANDARD) resulted […]
- How Do You Think Yoda Got So Wise? Why he read all of the ancient and modern parables of the Wise One, especially borrowing attributes of those who took on Empires, like Jedi Yallow, for later training. He than sought out The Boing Boing Being in the deep depths of Hainault Forest, spending weeks at his feet, taking notes on his iPad. This […]

- There’s An App for Not Learning to Do That By removing the creative process and leaving only the results of that process, you virtually guarantee that no one will have any real engagement with the subject. It is like saying that Michelangelo created a beautiful sculpture, without letting me see it. How am I supposed to be inspired by that? (And of course it’s […]

- The Seven Circles of Canon Rebate Hell In which a large corporation beats me down by ambiguous instructions, rude representatives, and hiding customer relations…. Canon has $200 of my money and they refuse to give me what is mine. Having tried multiple times to comply with unclear instructions to process a rebate, they are holding onto my cash. I want it back, […]

- Everyone was HBO (Here Before Oprah)? Fail. C’mon twitter people, you are liming up zombie lemmings marching off the cliff. I see a stream of people in my stream tweeting something from a site boasting that they were in twitter before @Oprah. Monkey see, monkey click, monkey tweet. So there is a simple box on the site http://herebeforeoprah.com. In theory, you enter […]
- Smokin’ Yahoo Pipes cc licensed flickr photo by Wade from Oklahoma … in which the technology blog author bares his ignorance by discovering a tool that is several years old…. With a new sense of urgency, I implore that some big web company buy and save Yahoo– if not just to preserve the most valuable important vital web […]
- Use Gmail Web Clips as RSS Feed Ticker If I was tweeting this, I might make up a silly hash tag like #CoolNewTechnologyIJustFoundThatsBeenOutForEons I use Gmail extensively, got my CogDogness, as well as over the last few weeks, I have ditched the desktop email client and using the Gmail version of our NMC Google Apps email. By finding my oldest Gmail message, I’ve […]

- The Flat Classroom Horizon Project Doh! Sound of blog remorse! In writing about the CNI Horizon Project presentation, I was remiss in leaving out one of the coolest discoveries — that Vicki Davis (coolcatteacher in georgia) and 4 other secondary school teachers in Austria, Bangladesh, China, and Australia are doing another fabulous Flat Classroom project — and this one they […]
- Twitter Cycle Have you heard just enough plaff about twitter the 2007 web love child? I have experienced and seen enough others experience the twitter cycle: “That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard of… who in their right mind would be doing that?” “Okay… if Xxxxxx and Yyyyyyy think this is cool, I will give […]
- Horizon Report Presented at CNI Yesterday was a eventful day at the CNI Spring Task Force Meeting. My travel arrangements for this conference were pretty tricky — I got in my truck and drove 20 miles downtown to Phoenix. No lost luggage. This was my first ever attendance at a CNI conference; a different flavor of colleagues, so I got […]

- Flight of the [Arizona] Bumblebee Bumblebee posted 3 Sep ’06, 6.10pm MDT PST on flickr In the real life can be strange too department… We’ve recently been helping my mother-in-law clean up her cluttered yard and garage.

- Happy Blog Day To Me… Holy Calendars, Batman! April 19 marks one year to the birth of CDB, starting from first post, “I Blog Therefore I Am…” In one year, there have been 347 posts, 341 comments (probably 1000 more spam-ments caught my the MT Blacklist plugin), and likely 678 typos. Do the math. It has been interesting to see […]
