- Chasing Down the Ghost Internet Tracks of Scottlo’s SRBs Apparently writers with orders of magnitude more readers than I are penning saga length whinging rage posts about how terrible technology is. Oh they keep moving the buttons on me! Teams Sucks. Google Search is junk. Technology is terrible. I don’t counter the disgust of bad software interfaces (oh reminds me I have a post […]

- Overworked in San Juan? OMG, the working conditions I have this month (/me ducks)… no that is my afternoon on Sunday at the beach I can walk to from the Sagrado campus (Sunday morning was spent working on web sites, ok?) Seriously, it is full on weekdays and evening prep in the first 1 days here. So far I […]
- Seeking Web Tricks Better Than “Chicken on a Skateboard” I have been asked to do a faculty workshop a week from Friday, where they more or less asked for “cool web stuff” (not quite what I did for students last week). The working title (because I Do Not Start Work Until I Have a Title) is “Silly / Useful Web Tricks”. This name is […]

- Inside the RSS Magic Box Wow, I thought I had written this up somewhere, but because Ken asked, and he is doing cool stuff with his Connected Course… Can anyone share the code for the Magic Box #CCourses http://t.co/lv3QFzS45M @cogdog @mburtis @timmmmyboy ? — Ken Bauer Favel (@ken_bauer) February 11, 2015 What is the Magic Box?

- Thirds in Your Photographs This week in ds106, my class starts a week of looking at visual storytelling, primarily in working with their own photographs. For me, this is some of my favorite stuff since I love taking photos. I’d like them all to get better at taking interesting photos, moving from snapshot mentality to be composing in their […]

- Pre/Post Apocalyptic Moods I have been wanting to make a good attempt at Annie Belle’s Switch up the Mood ds106 assignment: Color, lighting, saturation, contrast, and many other factors all play in to taking a decent photo and making it fabulous. This assignment is to change the mood or tone of a photograph by altering the contrast, brightness, […]

- Bark is Back It’s been about a week since I launched this year’s week of no blogging / only commenting. This is hardly an exact, precise activity, and I am honored by the wide range of incoming links (the non spam variety, of course). So according to coComment, I posted 57 comments this week, admittedly a lot were […]

- Northern Voice Opening pieces of Northern Voice 2006. I would have thought the auditorium would be a wee bit more packed. First up was Starting with Fire: Why Stories Are Essential and How to Blog Effective Tales by Julie Leung. There was something very refreshing in the presentation style (pure images, a pointed presentation lacking word bullet […]
- Nancy “Snow” White: Seven Competencies of Online Interaction Day One of the Northern Voice conference, and Nancy White is running a great session on the important assets of online interaction. I hastily set up my iRiver to get a recording, may be noisy due to proximity to projector fan. And I rushed the editing. http://cogdogblog.com/wp-content/audio/nancy_white_nv06.mp3 [52 minute MP3, 24 Mb] Some sloppy written […]

- Flipping the Question:”Why DON’T Academics Blog?” Liz Lawly recently shared a great collection of edublogger’s explanations for why they blog: I keep getting asked this question by colleagues here at RIT and elsewhere, and I find myself sending them the same links over and over again. So here’s what I give people who ask me this, in an attempt to clarify […]
- Feedback Gems: Small Pieces In Spain Among the chaff of email spam are a few gems. Here is one from Ian in Spain who has figured out how to leverage RSS, blogs, and Feed2JS to generate a dynamic site: Hi Your rss2js service is first class. I love the code generator and the service itself – what a great job! I […]
- Visualize Your flickr FOAF Woah, nellie! I had no idea when I clicked a link that said, “do not, I REPEAT, do not go here” (the old teacher reports read “Alan does not listen well to instructions”) that I’d find this wildly fantastic flickr graph tool: Flickr Graph is an application that explores the social relationships inside flickr.com. It […]

- Old Fashioned Junk Mail I hardly blink while deleting all of the unsolicited crap that hits the e-mail inbox. But just as a throwback, I got a flier in my postal mail at work for “everything you need to know in an intensive 2-day seminar!”: Centrifugal Pumps: Troubleshoot and Maintain Centrifugal Pumps- Learn How to Reduce the Amount of […]
- Beware of Blogs in Plaid Jackets While opportunistic greed vultures are circling over RSS, the used blog sales men have set up their hawkster wares down on the corner.
