- Hey, Cats, Only 9 Lives? I’m Doing 15 Live Web Shows This Week I’m in the late middle of a sheer mad but insanely fun series of events for OE Global’s Open Education Week. That itself is a post or more, with the set up and development of the WordPress web site, an Events calendar plugin, fediversing the events… oh, stop it! But also, I have had to […]

- Amazing/True Stories of Openness Makes Comeback for Open Education Week Monday I saw the #OEWeek tagged tweets and had some wondering about what I might contribute for Open Education Week. So I dusted off and cleaned up an oldie- my collection of Amazing Stories of Serendipity. This was something that goes back to a 2009 presentation at the Open Education conference. The idea was to […]

- Secrets Beneath A Chair I bet you don’t ever look to see what’s on the bottom side of your furniture. I didn’t. Not till today. The featured photo on this post is the bottom side of a most special piece of furniture, the rocking chair that belonged to my deceased brother. It has its own story (read only if […]

- It’s Not the Phones In my last six weeks of travel, and right now sitting in an airport terminal, I noticed how much I am surrounded by people hunched over their phones. In the airport. In restaurants. On the beach. On the beach. On the beach! I bet all those people hunched over their phones in public think, "I'm […]
- You Can’t Judge These Western Books By Their Similar Covers It’s quite possible I finished four books this month; two may have been started in January, but four in a month is a recent record for me in finishing. Both of these books I bought as part of my interest in westerns and #western106. While both are in the range of western genres, they could […]

- Burma Card I cannot seem to locate the tweet (the concept that Twitter search really searches everything is shattered every time I try), but a month or two back, @DrGarcia lamented a wee bit some sadness of not receiving letters in the mail. She’s overly generous in the letter writing department. The practice of handwriting letters or […]
- No Atonement in Irrational Systems I marvel at my blue tickets. Fluttering beneath the windshield wipers of my truck, they represent an ongoing comical example of a consistent proliferation of a tiny amount of an irrational system. I’ve lost count, I’ve gotten maybe 25 of these over four months. I kind of want someone to stand up ant tell parking […]

- pechaflickr Now Equipped with Super Powers of Photo Credit cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by mylerdude There’s is nothing like a successful, joyful leap. Mine today was accomplished within the space of my programming editor (still BBEdit, the same text editor I started my first web pages with in 1993). I have to say one of my most favorite things made […]

- Create Something from the Storybox (SXSWedu) Uh oh, the people in my session are just tuned into their devices. cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog Awesome, that is what I wanted, my session was billed as a BYOT one. This represented the new plan I hope to have for the content I collected last year during my […]

The goal of the symposium is to find a voice for the community. The symposium has a rigorously reviewed research paper track as well as […]
- Arf Arf… Is This Thing On? I’m back. I think. The last two days have been technically the worst of my career. This is a long story. The bottom line is that this blog is now running on a new URL http://realgar.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/alan/ but things are forarded nicely (.htaccess redirect) so all links to http://cogdogblog.com/alan/ end up here. But that is just […]

- Breeze– A Mighty Wind– But the Audio Editing Blows Tuesday is my keynote presentation at the NMC Sipring 2004 Online Conference – register now to tune into “Mysteries Revealed! Inside the Maricopa Learning eXchange”. For this presentation I, ahem, went well over the suggested length of 20 minutes, to more than 50 (!) but it covers a lot of ground, and is all pictures, […]
