- It’s the Picture of Reusable Open Content I bristle slightly when I reads something that seems to conflate Open Textbooks and Open Educational Resources (OER). Only slightly. The success of open textbooks, not only for what they are providing and creating benefits to students, is that it finally is something the wider swath of academia has awakened to. So the bristling matters […]

- We Fit A break in the usual technical gobbledygook and assorted rantings for a not so small personal announcement… As a matter of fact, it’s as big as life… Cori did say “yes” If there is any doubt to the question, it’s one of marriage. Something I had vowed 10 years ago to never do again. I’m […]

- How The #Western106 Was … Crumpled? Like a classic MOOC dropout artist, I’ve fallen so far off of my #western106 horse I can’t even see the dust any more. I had grand hopes of running a DS106 in a genre of Western films/stories. I was doing trailers back in October for a planned online class to teaching at Kansas State University, […]

- Flickr CC Attribution Tool Is That Much More Fun Not long ago Flickr added two more options for published photos choosing creative commons licenses, both CC0 and a Public Domain. This is a good thing, even if to me it adds more confusion as to which Public Domain license (both are PD licenses with differences perhaps requiring close readings with a lawyer) one might […]

- Ãnægju og sársauka, einfaldar hugmyndir fyrir krikkets You should be confused. Today was a ds106 daily create monstrosity I can take responsibility for, and is one that busts my usual mantra of “things that you can create in 20 minutes”. Today’s assignment: Lipdub a video of yourself in another language talking seriously about crickets. Write the script and record the video. Then […]

- 106 Photos Like us canines hearing sounds beyond the human spectrum, participants in ds106 seem to see lights and colors others miss… cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog This photo that was from a number light pole in Mesa, AZ, was the genesis for the Illustrate 106 visual assignment. I’ve dodged in and […]
- Dog Authors cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog Last November I had an ambition to do another round of NaNoWrimo but fell off the wagon early. It began as an experiment to do the writing in the open— which was fun, but then, alas,, the story part eluded me. My plan was to […]

- Assorted Beach Observations Beach Scavengers by cogdogblog posted 12 Apr ’08, 10.12pm MDT PST on flickr Here on Sanibel Island these bent old white pasty birds work up and down the beach, bent over, constantly poking in the sand, picking up shells, filling up plastic bags, cups, upturned shirts. The booty is stuffed into suitcases, bags, wasting air […]

- I Was Doing Ruby in the Mid 1990s I really do not want to learn a new web programming language. In my first round, through the late 1990s, it was perl, than I made the jump to doing my web stuff in PHP. Now of course, the rage and sexy code is done in Ruby — any slick new web site that moves […]

- Podless Surrealism I’ve been using my iPod shuffle for exercising and playing through my car stereo (Transpod FM transmitter) for almost a year now. I’ve only listened to radio under duress or forgetfulness. But the last few weeks, I’ve left the pod home and re-inserted some CDs. This is only because I am trying to sell the […]
- Online Community Megalopoli You can never have too much online community building (activity), but do you wonder about how many online community places there will be? Liking going from a nice scattering of small rural communities to big bustling cities, are we headed down the road to sprawling Megalopoli. I am criticizing none of these efforts, nor their […]

- Blackboard Discovers Blogs (but not where you think) Hey! Have you heard about this new cool thing called “blogging“? Well, shucks, it looks like the folks down at Blackboard central have stumbled on to it! Innovation! Yup, with all the expertise and license bucks piled up down there, they have set up “The Blackboard Weblog” at … Blogger.com? http://www.blackboardblog.blogspot.com/ And all those Bbig […]
- BikeRidePodCast I’m tuning into some podcasts, finally. Today on my 11 mile bicycle commute (something I need to get back to doing regularly), I carried my iRiver in my pocket and listened to Rael Dornfest – Rules for Remixing, a session from the ETech Conference. It made for a nice ride in. My only flub was […]

- Coming To a Browser Near You: 2 Presentations on PhotoBlogging I have two presentations looming for the April 20-22 Teaching in the Community Colleges 2004 Online Conference, both related to creating online content out of primarily digital images. The wraps are still up, the ink is wet, and the typos run freely, but it is falling into place nicely. I am fishing for some folks […]
