- Daily Double January 2023 With grand intentions to stick to a schedule of daily challenges, by skin of my calendar teeth I am 31 for 31 days in both daily flickr photos and ds106 Daily Creates. I’ve held this pace before maybe 2 months? Does it really matter to get a perfect score (no)? But parsing some time to […]

- The WordPress Hyperlink Pour Over Trick Yes, an old Cogdog can learn a new WordPress Trick. I’ve long gotten over the move to the Block Editor. I almost chuckle like seeing an 8-track player in a thrift store when I see Ye Olde Classic Editor (e.g. in Pressbooks). But there are things I continually fumble over. It seems very frequent when […]

- A New Wave For Pechaflickr Thanks to the way the open web works, I just put into play a fun new option for my pechaflickr site/game/thing. Nothing is changed with the way it has worked. At the bottom of the site is a link to a Google form that collects info from those willing to to share of how they […]

- Cloudharing the Tortoise CogDogBlog Do you really buy into that old fable? Slow and steady wins the race? Maybe for foot races, but for a web server, I want it all hare speed. Make that flare speed. Both CogDogBlog and ds106 (we are neighbors on the server farm) were suffering recently from the dreaded “over usage of resources”. Thanks […]

- CogDog’s Guitar Hello It’s really late and I need to wake up stupid early, but when I saw Jabiz’s tweet, and his video, and his stack of papers.. I said I’m in. I blabbed a bot in the video, compeltely leaving out that I live in a tiny town in Arizona called Strawberry (yes its real, look it […]

- Blog Tips from Grandpa CogDog cc licensed flickr photo shared by x-ray delta one This image is not exactly relevant, but was so bizarre I could not resist- who would not want a “Dual Head-mounted listening Device”? It looks like the perfect audio set up to enjoy radio ds106. I’ve been spending a chunk of time combing through the projects […]
- Not One Tech Extinction cc licensed flickr photo shared by John Kannenberg A few weeks ago we had author Kevin Kelly appear as a guest on the Connect@NMC webinars to talk about his book “What Technology Wants” (a full archive is available). In his work, Kelly uses a broad umbrella to include what is technology, and suggests an ecosystem/evolution […]
- Geeking the Keynote Tweet cc licensed flickr photo shared by Jacob Whittaker UPDATE (Sep 21, 2013): These instructions are a bit dated– see the updated instructions. Last year I used for the first time a nifty AppleScript that allows you to embed a code in the notes of your Keynote presentation that will trigger a twitter message with the […]
- Real LMS Revolutionaries Burn Zombies This morning’s RSS buzz, or rippling murmur, is the web video from upstart LMS Instructure announcing the open-sourceness of their Canvas platform, and with it, a literal parody of Apple’s then ground breaking 1984 video: As a frequently off target metaphor users, I step blindly into pot calling kettle black, but is the 1984 really […]

- Somedays on the Highway of Life, You Gotta Get out of the Car and Talk to a Cactus Brontosaurus Head Cactus by cogdogblog posted 1 Feb ’09, 11.06pm MST PST on flickr By almost a reflex, this post first urged an emergence as one in the vein of “sorry this is the reason why I’ve not been blogging”. It strikes me when I read such posts (some of them mine) that the only […]

- January Crop of 366 photos January Crop of 366 photos posted 1 Feb ’08, 10.20pm MST PST on flickr One month down for the year’s pledge of 366 daily photos posted to flickr (plus one into February), 8.1% done! This has been so much fun to do; making time and effort each day to think visually, and look for novel […]
- My WiLD SeLF My WiLD SeLF posted 1 Feb ’08, 8.59pm MST PST on flickr Attractive, eh? I made this with www.buildyourwildself.com/ a site apparently sponsored my the New York Zoo and Aquarium, more likely aimed at kids than people my age. its a flash based avatar creation web app, you starte with basic choices of adding hair, […]
- Horizon Report 2008 at ELI- Dog Bites Elwood This past tuesday was the official release of the NMC 2008 Horizon Report like we do every year at the EDUCAUSE ELI Conference (hey Chronicle, that is TUESDAY, JANUARY 29 2008!). The full report is available, for free, as a 256k Creative Commons sprinkled PDF. Please download and share pervasively. As somewhat of an experiment, […]
- So What is Web 2.0 Storytelling? If I am not President, I sure am on the Board of Directors of the Bryan Alexander Fan Club. So it becomes even more amazing when he wants to dine with me before his workshop and get feedback on his plans for the session he did at the EDUCAUSE ELI conference on Web 2.0 Storytelling. […]

- Listen/Speak Web It’s podcast mania out there. I’m getting more requests for information, demos, etc internally. People are wondering what the implications are for the Apple iTunes U offer (I signed up, what’s to lose?). I have weak optimistic hopes we can move quickly past the “Oh, I can put my lectures online” flash of brilliance. Just […]

- Warming The Hands Over the Flames of Email E-mail flame wars (a torrent of angry, differing viewpoint exchanges) must be as old as the first listserv with more than 20 people on it. Whether you want to classify participants according to some phylum/species or not not, it is just human nature, and what happens in the loosely structured online environment. A reading of […]
- Six Figures, A Jaguar– the Luxurious Life of a Spammer (Thanks to James Farmer for popping this article our way). The Register today unveils the life of the rich and infamous, “Interview with a link spammer”: Sam – let’s call our interviewee Sam, it’s suitably anonymous – lives in a three-bedroom semi-detached house in London, drives a vintage Jaguar and runs his own company. But […]

- Wah Hoo! Old LEE Software Glides on By One of my procrastinated pending projects was updating our Learning English Electronically (LEE) CD-ROM software, a still well-used English Grammar coded with Macromedia Director 5.0 in 1998 and updated last in 2000. I had read some time ago that Director Apps needed to be authored in at least version 8.5.1 to run in Windows XP […]
- MLX Package of the Week: The View from Where I Sit Trying another “new aiming to be regular” CDB feature, highlighting an interesting “”package” from the Maricopa Learning eXchange. This is is special because it is not a “reusable learning object” (RLO) but a ‘reusable idea object” (RIO?) Maybe we can breed a whole raft of meaningless acronyms, like RCA (re-usable classroom activity), RCS (reusable communication […]
