- Nine / Nine ? Nein Not that I am setting any goals here but can I keep pace? Just writing this creates the potential of expectations. But this is my gig space alone. And once more, a small nugget of example what hoisting content on your own platform, your own domain, creates unexpected potential for the wonderfully unexpected. (And curses […]

- Open As In… Dog Treats with Insects and Spent Barley Grain Maybe I will just leave this post as a tweeted blog title without any explanation. Let’s leave the conten as an exercise of the imagination for “The Reader.” Ok. Wait. Ummm. Maybe? Nah. This is another installment in the vein of web serendipity, amazing story of openness making, et al where someone I don’t know […]

- A Tweetdeck Surprise Feature Egg I clicked in the wrong place on an image in tweetdeck, and saw surprise golden light. Well, that might be overly dramatic. But check this out, it’s not in Twitter web. Look in the upper right corner of an image in a tweet seen in Tweetdeck. Viewed on the web, no shine: Have you considered […]

- Seeing Web Tracking Data is Like Learning What Jell-O is Made Of Like most internet rabbit holes, the opening door was innocuous. A colleague in a Slack channel made a cheery reference to something being like Jello (or Jell-O depending how you feel on product names as words). Jiggly, brightly colored, fun, playful jello. Almost by reflect, I was compelled to respond with a reference to how […]

- UDG Agora at ETUG: Hybrid Presentation Mode Activated The work I am part of at Virtual Connecting might be described as “hybridizing” (oi 20 lashes for making that a word) the conference attendance experience- mixing the virtual/remote and the on-site/F2F one. As a slight twist on this, I was part of something that was a hybrid of the mode of presentation. I’ve done […]
- Waxing Over Cylinders: The Internet Wonder Box This is a tale of how my curiosity gets fed and pulled into unexpected places on the internet (yes the one that apparently died again in 2015). This is a tale of how my plans for a “productive” morning get nudged later as I cannot stop seeking connections. This is a tale of why my […]

- The Googling Eye: Mashup Poster Re-Deconstucted Of all the creative assignments from DS106 (of which there are more than 730, that is so un-massive) maybe my favorites are the re-edits of movie posters. If any institution ever wanted a class taught in remixing old movie posters… well contact me, ok? I can talk about the many layers of these creative tasks, […]

- Why Kids Can’t Search (maybe we need to think of seeking?) cc licensed ( BY NC SD ) flickr photo shared by Basajaun I flinch a bit at such generalization, but “based on research” means something- in Wired, Clive Thompson speculates “Why Kids Can’t Search”: We’re often told that young people tend to be the most tech-savvy among us. But just how savvy are they? A […]
- Begging the Question: Feed2JS Support Ads cc licensed ( BY NC SD ) flickr photo shared by howvin I have gotten an impressive stream of support, donations with my request to help support Feed2JS, enough to keep the site up and running (which apparently has been stable). But I’ve not been comfortable depending on a future path of donation support, although […]
- Dad was a Bricklayer (Dear Photograph) What started out as another set of family pictures for the Dear Photograph (or Return to the Scene of the Crime) ds106 assignment sprawls a bit more as I find connection points– let’s see by the end if they lead anywhere. Perhaps a path. Made of bricks. It has to do with bricks and paths […]

- Another Random Act of Unsolicited Teaching via Flickr cc licensed flickr photo shared by cogdogblog I’ve milked this story plenty of times before- during a 2007 workshop in Tasmania, I used as an example of the power of unexpected connections, someone the year before had commented on a flickr photo I had tagged as “unknown” and told me the kind of flower it […]

- Suffer Me No Inefficiency Follow me through this path of incongruities. We live in this hyper-connected modern age, where larger than every managed before information is retrievable, sharable, around the world. All that Did You Know stuff. Standing at the precipice of the Web of Data possibly soon accessible via one of those hand flying Minority Report interfaces. Perhaps. […]

- Iceland Shows Her Grandeur Under the Influence of Gravity by cogdogblog posted 9 Nov ’08, 12.32pm MST PST on flickr Gulfoss en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gullfoss After a week in Iceland, I finally awoke to a sky in the strangest color- blue! It was a clear day here, and that meant getting out to see some sights. I drove up to first see […]

- Feed2JS Clock Has Been Off For Years Thanks to some keen observers who have recently noted a long standing problem with Feed2JS— for the display of the date and item was posted, we had been using some Magpie and PHP functions to convert the date/time stamp of an item to a milliseconds value and then using the php date() function for the […]
- Web Decimal Conundrum Readers and my most sarcastic fans know my reluctance to blandly use the “Web 2.0” word, but bear with me– the decimals don’t matter, what I struggle with is the ratio issue. Daily I interact, participate, create, dwell, explore in this place of “folksonomic social networked connective reading/writingWeb 2.0-ish world” — yet I work in […]

- Wired’s “Rip. Sample. Mash. Share.” Yeah, Right! Hmmm, The November 2004 issue of Wired has the goods on the notion of “Rip-Mix-Feed” line of thought. The magazine includes an audio CD with music specifically with Creative Commons licenses for ripping and mixing, and even a few are further licensed for sampling and commercial use. I’ve yet to listen to it (maybe on […]
- The Kiwi Workshop Brigade I’m about halfway through my three week visit to Auckland New Zealand for an ambitious series of workshops at several schools here, and am bouncing between my regular CogDogBlog and its flipped over variant here CogDog(kiwi)Blog as well as two (or more) flickr sites. I may be losing track of where I leave my dribbles […]

- GotW: Abbey’s Writing Quotes It’s been many weeks, maybe months, since I updated the CDB sidebar “Google of the Week (GotW), so today was as good a day as any. Also, I added GotW as a category archive with requisite RSS feed. The GotW appears in the CDB sidebar, using MovableType’s built in API to Google, in essence, a […]
- WebCT Opens Doors to OPSI e-portfolio It was bound to happen, once the interest in electronic portfolios has bubbled widely, the big Course Management Monoliths would bring them in under their hoods. I am not at EDCUASE (hardly seems to be any blogging from there? trying a feedster search now- hey who put all those banner ads in there?), and this […]
