- One More Thing on Podcast Listening (well maybe two) (or three) In the spirit of Groomian #BlogOrDie, rather than just append some more ideas to my recent post on podcast listening, why not just blog anew? No rules here except the ones I concoct. Left Of My List I only realized yesterday when I drove for errands, and as usual, flipped on the Overcast player to […]

- Embeddable Toot for Bryan Hi, so I like that nifty Mastodon post you shared, how can I WordPress it, do I have to do screenshots? asks my good great, fantastic behind the beard friend Bryan Alexander. Heck no, WordPress can grok this. Every Mastodon post has an embed link, like the one I sent to Bryan by email, look […]

- A Dozen Things Created/Shared in 2019, None of them SPLOTs Yes, it’s that year end time of inevitable reflections, of dusting off the blog, vows to blog, etc. There’s not de-dusting or vow-making needed here, I can tell in one URL that this blog hoisted 120 posts in 2019 https://cogdogblog.com/2019/ (though admittedly down from 2018, 2017, 2016…). It’s been a far bit of SPLOT blogging […]

- Fixing or Fading An Organization’s Web Legacy It was kind of like two blog posts unexpectedly colliding or passing in the night past a burning barge. On Sunday, Bryan Alexander asked some large questions about How would you design a professional association for the future?. I also wrote about the impending death of Storify and in their dying process leaving no plan […]

- Thoughts on Ten #CCquests Since the end of September our team has run 10 weekly Creative Commons (CC) related activities published on this site and to twitter under the #CCquest hashtag. The idea was to create a small challenge around an aspect of CC that could be answered (and shared) in a single tweet. It emerged from our project […]

- Randomly() Yours Do you really know where your next blog post will come from? Mine kind of pop up like… driving down the road with a destination in mind, and an curious road sign appears. How can you not take that turn? Is that critical you get to Palookaville by 4? Mine started with (like many) a […]

- Taking the Old Gigapan Out for a Spin cc licensed ( BY SA ) flickr photo shared by Alan Levine It’s been quite a while since I created a Gigapan panorama, the last one maybe in June of 2011 in Golden Colorado. A few weeks later I was at Grand Teton National Park, and after tossing my truck, I realized I must have […]

- The Muppets Are On to You, ds106! Allright, one more GIF (this morning) and then off to do something else. Maybe. This one can fit into two of the categories- RIFF a GIF and GIF the #ds106 (this is a test if I can slip one example into two assignments). Muppets + ds106 #4life
- Love and Boxing, GIFfed The eclectic Woody Allen has had many romantic encounters, on and off screen. How could he ever forget his lively yet draining down under love affair? I was going to make a new assignment for the #ds106 GIFfest, but sometimes it is more fun to make the GIF fit, in this case making it slip […]

- Even a Dog Can Teach ds106 cc licensed ( BY NC ND ) flickr photo shared by greenkozi Jim has already been dropping teasers but if he blogs, then it’s official. It’s been a year since the first open course version of Digital Storytelling (ds106) at the University of Mary Washington and in 2012 it’s going to DEFCON 1. Yep, you […]

- Getting the ds106 Idea Fence Painted: Reverend Jim Groom Sawyer cc licensed flickr photo shared by Serenae You gotta like the Jim Groom strategy- run off to the good life in Italy, and let people like Tom Woodward go craxy coming up with ideas to use in Jim’s ds106 course (Tom is on FIRE, see his latest activity ideas). My, that fence is getting painted […]
- My Phone is the New Computer Black There is absolutely nothing novel or prophetic about talking about smartphones (a word I loathe to use, but heck, I can live finally with “Web 2.0”) as potentially replacing computers as a primary device. I got to try it out this weekend. This was not a planned exercise. After visiting friends in Phoenix this weekend, […]

- I’m a FlickrPoet and now I KnowIt Via the vast richness of the Stoyrtelling twitter stream, I picked up today a link to FlickrPoet a rather neat built on flickr tool. FlickrPoet allows you to enter a block of text, be it a poet or your last evaluation report, and it builds a visual representation of the words with photos from flickr. […]
- I, Cameras. I’ve had fun following D’Arcy Norman‘s tweets as he experiments with an old Pentax film camera he got from his Dad. It got me thinking that I’ve had a string of cameras, but have never bothered to document my camera history. Not that anyone would care,, this is a blog post for me as an […]

- The Chronicle Time Warp Ahhh, that electronic tome of academia, the The Chronicle of Higher Education, is sporting some of the Emperor’s clothing line. In an article published December 17, 2007 on Colleges Are Reluctant to Adopt New Publication Venues the keen writers there “discovered” the NMC 2007 Horizon Report: Academe has been slow to accept new forms of […]

- Audio Casting Setup We’re doing a live event in Second Life this afternoon. Yes, we will all sit in rows of chairs, and listen passively to a lecture… no wait a minute, that’s what some people think happens in there. Actually what is happening is that Henry Jenkins is making a first official in world appearance in visiting […]
- flickrCC is da boss! For more than a year I have turned repeatedly to flickr’s creative commons search to locate images for presentations and projects. It never has failed to provide a large number of choices of powerful images to use. The problem is the search tools on flickr are one of their less elegant designed interfaces. You first […]
- Way Too High Comment Hurdles Most bloggers want comments, eh? After jumping through account forms, questionably readable captchas, how much is one’s spirit to comment crushed when a site mis-labels it as spam, and eats the entire comment. I was unable to overcome these obstacles yesterday. This started when I read Graham Atwell’s post on Creativity costs money in Second […]

- Thinking About Audio With the end of the year coming soon (in academia; our system has been slowing to a halt as the semester ends, faculty leave, e-mail volume plummets, and parking spaces become abundant), I am trying to avoid end of the year wrap=up or next year prognostication. However, I do feel some urge to think a […]

- Skype Me Maybe I barked and whined about podcasting, that does not mean I’m not interested in audio! I am trying to give Skype another round of tests, but cannot find anyone I know with a skype account. Is anyone up to some internet telephone tag? I’ll try to keep the application open the next few days, […]
- More Feedback: Addy’s Designs Wow, bonus feedback. This is from someone who has used our free jClicker Slide Show template to customize and use for showing off their model design and fabrication work: Alan, I just upload my personal portfolio on the net that I built my self. I am so happy with it. Base on jClicker slide show, […]
- MLX Package Receives Feedback from Indonesia How refreshing it is to catch some comment feedback that is not spam. Package #1463 Areal Weighting with Thiessen Polygons was created by Water Resources technology faculty member Lisa Young: a brief tutorial that demonstrates the procedures for determining areal weighting from point precipitation gages using the Thiessen Polygon Method. While I have no clue […]

- This Dog is Out Time for a break- this CogDog is off at our secret hideaway, tethered to the net only by a 28 kbps modem line. At that rate, the RSS reader chokes and sputters on those fat feeds, bloated graphic web sites are not worth the bother, and those internal emails full of attached Word files or […]
