    • Now With Begging Buttons I’m awed by the generous response to my putting out a kibble bowl for patreon-ing here. All the email they send you is advice for more barrages of self promotion. I loathe that, but I sense I need to keep a drum beat going. To that end, I’ve added some bottom of the site buttons […]
    • “SPLOTs? Don’t Worry”, says Madge, “You’re Soaking In It” SPLOT SPLOT SPLOT… just off a session talking about (but never defining) SPLOTs for a Reclaim Hosting Workshop. It was bad enough I started off with an obscure reference to a 1970s TV commercial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7BvEldVEHU but my slick SPLOTpoint presentation was derailed by a CSS issue (because someone thought they were uploading the newest version […]

    • Now With Logos… and more We have a lot of changes “under the hood” here as well as some new graphic identity for the certificates developed for a “Hack the Cred” presentation by Paul Stacey and Creative Commoners at the recent Open Education Global conference. Now on the front of the site, the project news is pushed down a bit, […]

    • Students Review DS106: Constructivist or Bust! This internet can be so recursive on itself. Nada Dabbagh, Professor & Director Division of Learning Technologies at George Mason University (she is the person who invited me to teach a DS106 class for GMU starting now) emailed about an ironic event in one of her classes. She has an assignment where her students are […]

    • Give Some Ears to Student ds106 Radio Shows cc licensed ( BY NC ND ) flickr photo shared by Lee Jordan In about 24 hours I will be running a live show on ds106 radio featuring the radio shows my UMW students have been [joyfully] working on the last 3 weeks for their mid-term audio assignment. This will take place Monday night from […]

    • Memories of Basement Songs cc licensed ( BY NC SD ) flickr photo shared by Joe Lencioni The energy of ds106 radio continue to shine, with the almost impromptu music themes this week, from work songs to a fun day (was it Wednesday? just yesterday?) of “Songs to Grow By” — meaning songs you heard as a kid, or […]
    • Phun with Phake Tweets One of the tweets Nixon did not manage to erase in 1972… Just kidding. I found this great, fun tool Twister from Classtools (twitterbution to @John_larkin, about time I gave you one back). It is a simple web form where you can enter info about a historical figure, and create a fake status message from […]
    • Into the Great Wide Open This photo from two days ago was a bit of foreshadowing… Today was my first day of unemployment. No, I was not fired…. I have walked away from likely the most plum position in education technology, Vice President of Community & CTO for the New Media Consortium, a spot I have held since April 2006. […]

    • What Time is It? (Arizona iPhone doesn’t know the answer) This same thing happened a year ago. In some fluke of nature because, as a state with leading indicators of worse budget deficit, lowest numbers of high school graduation rates, Arizona is somehow ahead of the curve in terms of not following the confusion of shifting clocks for daylight savings. Yes, all of the wheat […]

    • If At First You Don’t Succeed, Spam and Spam Again I just spent about 20 minutes doing my regular spam rotations- this is a shuffling of my MT blog script names, changing of the required key phrases on some of the sites. I have a half written post I’d like to finish soon on what to do to make yourself less of a target. In […]
    • My Sentence is 2 Days of Hard Labor This week is our system’s Spring Break, and even us administrative grunts get Thursday and Friday off. I tacked on a day off Wednesday, and how am I and Mrs. CogDogBlog relaxing? We are re-landscaping the back yard, hauling sand, rock, and brick, moving hard desert earth, yanking out of control cacti, extending a brick […]

    • 1983 Flashback: The Mother of COBOL Visits Maricopa Okay, it is less than an hour before I leave for time Spring Break R&R and a box full of precious archives lands in our office- brochures, posters, memos from the last 2)+ years of our Maricopa Community College Honors Forums. Among this is a March 1983 visit : 1982-1983 HONORS FORUM“Technology: Its Impact on […]
    • CogDogMoBlog (WinkSite) Sometimes technology is just playing around. I am guilty of that for the last 45 minutes. But with a curious interest in the now fringe-world of “moblogging” (mobile blogs, or accessing blogs via mobile phones), I stumbled across WinkSite, which allows anyone to create a web site / blog that is accessible via a phone-like […]
    • Tending the Garden of Blog Ahhhh, Spring time is almost here in the northern hemisphere (though here in Phoenix we have already experienced 90 degrees F for more than a week). This is a favorite time of year in the Sonoran Desert, as those precious relatively small, but important amounts of December, January rain, cause a burst of color as […]
    • Meta-Answer Since I barked about needing an Idiot’s Guide to Meta-Data, I have had some productive on and off blog posts with some folks that are a step above me in meta-awareness. Thanks to Sarah, who sent a link to the CETIS Draft Guide to Meta Data which shines some light on what some of the […]
