- Unmuzzled: Let The Barking Begin The week of muzzling the blog to spend time commenting on other blogs is over. Did anyone notice? I’m not sure I did. No suggestions for more blogs to read came in, but I had a good enough supply from my RSS feeds spotting posts in Mastodon and plucking a few from the Reclaim Hosting […]

- Overdue yet timely: A Ukrainian Circle “Holy late to the blog writing, Levine” yells the inner critic. Whatever. Here is my tale of a circle I was most fortunate to have been swept into. And more critical whinging as I am actually a day later than I should have been. So it goes. And the title was supposed to have this […]

- An Old, Simple Machine Fixed Y’all may be fine with dead links and broken sites, but if they belong to me, I am bothered. I was dusting off some portfolio items, and noticed one small, tiny project, maybe not even used anymore, was… busted. Blank screen. Maybe four or five years ago, my friend and colleague Michael Kelly asked if […]

- The Slimy Sideshow of Public Domain Among a list of topics in our field that I am least interested in is the seemingly endless bickering about one Creative Commons license versus another. It’s more that the details of licenses always seems to cast the largest area of attention in talking about open education sharing. After the array of licenses are tossed […]

- And Now For Something Completely Positive Are you getting tired of my Facebook catfishing rants? Too bad, they won’t stop until I get some answers. But here, something that is in the good news category, via twitter. G5 Bulgarian language students learn how to use @cogdog's Flickr tool for Creative Commons citations at @AAS_Sofia pic.twitter.com/plrcvVOaZd — Shary Marshall (@sharymarshall) February 25, […]

- A Two Dog Theme Demo Most of the time it’s intentional, but I do not always plan to use a dog metaphor. It just happens. In setting up the trubox multisite as a place for You Show participants to start their blogs, I came up […]

- Life Sharing (2000-2003) In an era of privacy paranoia, government spying on its own citizens, identity theft as a familiar problem, the idea behind Life Sharing may be more radical today. Was this such a naive time? Maybe less titillating, Life Sharing creators Eva and Franco Mattes went far beyond the voyeuristic camera eye view into student Jennifer Ringely who launched JenniCam in 1996, posting regular still images every 3 seconds to the web, stopping in 2003.
- Revisiting the early net art… where are they now? This is…
Revisiting the early net art… where are they now? This is what I hope to do here.
35 web art sites from the 1990s and early 2000s- HTML, perl, flash, shockwave, wired plants, linux radio… from 0100101110101101.org to Jodi to RSG to Torolab, I will explore each site, or what remains of it, in a new post.

- The Back End of the Donkey I’m bored of cows as a MOOCy metaphor; I found a new one: Isn’t he cute? The inspiration comes from a wise one — Neil Young — in The Donkey and Digital Music: The Full Dive Into Media Interview. Neil was on his stump, in grand ripping form, about how the digital music format that […]

- Live Audio Streaming Second Life cc licensed flickr photo shared by cogdogblog I’ve spent the past 3 days working behind the scenes for the NMC ;SL Pro! conference We had a lot of challenges with voice chat on day 1, so I fiddled a bit to see what I could do to provide a live audio stream. The trick with […]

- WIth Enough Money To Purchase a Moderate Sized Country, You’d Think… More idle, internet-less ramblings while sitting on the plane… Anyhow, I’ve flipped through a bunch of magazines lately. One thing I like to do is look at the use of visuals in communicating a message, especially advertisements. Long long ago, when I taught a computer animation class (we were using Director 5.0 if that gives […]
- Less Than Half Full Podcasts In preparation for next week’s series of demos on podcasts, I’ve downloaded likely more than I have in the last 10 months. The sheer number of them is turning out to be more staggering than I thought. Content varies, production quality varies, all according to typical distribution curves. I am listening to a bunch flying […]
- Presentation Interruptus flickr foto Presentation Interruptusavailable on my flickr Here at the New Media Consortium (NMC) Directors meeting in Austin, I was doing a reprise of the 5 Minutes of Fame session at EDUCAUSE ELI Conference. This was supposedly highlighting the NMC Horizon Report section on "Phones in Their Pocket" — the report suggesting cell phone technology […]

- I’ve been Skyped, Flossed A few weeks ago I was audio interviewed via Skype by Teemu Arina, a 1 hour plus session between me in Arizona and Teemu in Finland that was remarkably clear, had no dropouts. In an almost heroic effort, Teemu edited this to a pod/webcast, painstakingly removing my frequent “umms” as well as abstracting my free […]
- Wow! What a Portfolio-lific Day Just wrapping up from today’s event “ePortfolio Dialogue Day: Digital Stories of Deep Learning for Students and Faculty” with our excellent guest Helen Barrett, and it was a rousing success. Wish I could have been blogging it all, but other duties called. Helen gave an outstanding overview of the eportfolio landscape, and hammering the not […]
