- Chasing a Plunger leads to Wikipedia Editing I am more than comfortablly qssured that no generative AI can really hallucinate my writing. See those trademarked typos? Me. See a quirky nonsensical title? Me. I digress, as usual. Here is a typical small tale of unexpected adventure of one thing leading to another, like a neural path, but none one that can be […]
- Training or Embeddings: LLM Separations or Not Quote/unquote hallucinations, questionable use of copyrighted materials in training, exploitations of labor, environmental impact, complete lack of transparency, we should recognize the litany of problems with the 2023 AI Hype machinery. The natural desire is, what if I can have an AI that is deriving it’s responses from purely MY stuff or from a specific […]

- Mass Producing Google Slides from Sheets: Scripts Are Your Friends With technology work I find Need is more of a spawner of Invention than Desperation (or Necessity). Not only did a need for a screen timer for the Open Education Global Conference spawn some productive play with OBS, earlier in the planning I came across another need where the pursuit added some new tools to […]

- Memes, GIFs, etc for Adult and Community Education Victoria They asked for this workshop, so they got it. “They” are Adult and Community Education Victoria (ACEVic) and organization of community centers that offer adult education and training in communities around Victoria. My audience consisted of the CEOs of several centers. And yes, they were interested in memes and GIFs. The location was the Yarraville […]

- All Your WordPress Option Are Belong to Us There might be some value in my sloppy keyboarding skills beyond humorous typos and misplaced punctuation that drives Sandy Brown Jensen batty. I just mistyped a WordPress URL and cracked a lid on something. I even forget know why I was looking at the WordPress Settings on a project site, maybe I was checking something […]
- When in Roam, Gouge Like Verizon Does How much does it really cost to provide cellular data access? And in providing it as a service in other countries, how much does it take for your home provider to keep you connected? It’s a closely guarded industrial secret. How much can providers charge? As much as they can. My provider (Verizon) provides one […]

- Who Are We (statement, not question) cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog The original title here was “Who am I” meant as an assertive to the question of maybe my second favorite Who album and completely missing the overlap with the title of the new book by Pete Townsend. So I changed it up just to keep […]

- One Year of @dailyshoot It was one year ago today I did my first @dailyshoot assignment. I give my tip of the blog hat to D’Arcy Norman for turning me on to this. The theme one year ago was “water”, and was assignment #12 cc licensed flickr photo shared by cogdogblog From the start I enjoyed the play part […]
- Facebook Will Take Every Opportunity to Reach Down and Suck Up All Your Personal Data I cannot help it. I have tried (somewhat, well rather tepidly) to embrace the Facebook fervor (because <scarequote>Everyone is there</scarequote>). I do not begrudge all the time people spend there (well I do a little). It’s my instincts that keeps my fur up, and a faint acrid foul smell that I detect. Facebook seems like […]
- A Day in the Life cc licensed flickr photo shared by Pink Sherbet Photography Yesterday Martin Weller, in the midst of writing his book on Digital Scholarship, wrote up a narrative of his day to track his working day and uses of technology. In the summary, he notes the mix of personal and work lives intertwingling while he does this […]

- Twitter in Mom English My mom is visiting me for the next 2 weeks. This morning, she said, “Can you explain this ‘twitter’ thing to me over lunch?’. I could not resist rushing out to tweet it 😉 This got some interesting responses, including one from Dean Shareski, who asked me to record the conversation. So at lunch time, […]
- Human Powered Spam Factories cc licensed flickr photo shared by jamesjyu We had a disturbing new phase on the NMC web site a few weeks back. Over a weekend, our office reported a flurry of about 200 accounts created. What we found was that real humans (because they got past a captcha) with real email addresses (because we send […]

(For another gem see her illustrated post on getting more […]
- I’m Looking At You! Fresa Tooned posted 24 Nov ’07, 9.28pm MST PST on flickr Messing with those photoshop filters again Maybe this is the secret motto of Facebook? Google? Homeland Security (there is some kind of oxymoron there)? or just a hungry, curious beagle named Fresa… Yes, this blogger is lazy, just slap posting photos from flickr.
- We Are All Weavers? Which Web Might This Be? posted 24 Nov ’07, 9.28pm MST PST on flickr I really thought the weaver was Sir Tim Berners-Lee… This book in the Pine, Arizona Senior Center Thrift Store (one of the finest anywhere) caught me eye. Actually I think it was about Chinese herbal medicine, but a little cropping, and […]
