- Send in (and play with) the AI Voice Clones In several conversations I hear my own brain echoes of responses to AI mania of both fatigue and hype wariness but also some curiosity and itches to explore. My own reckoning I reckon is the comparisons to the disruptive force of the early web was we were not clubbed over the head with the web […]

- Loosed to Imagine Worlds Unexpectedly (which is nearly always the best way) the forward of a science fiction anthology jumped out at me as almost the underlying theme of the Networked Narratives course I am co-teaching with Mia Zamora. A friend Sarah gave me a copy of Loosed Upon The World when I was visiting last August (she has […]

- Blogging as Pointless, Incessant, Barking This cartoon is on a card my sister sent me a few years ago; I have kept it on my refrigerator along with the gallery of dogs past. But I’m not that dog, I’m still at the blogging, April of this year is rolling up to the 10 year mark for CogDogBlog. I’m still figuring […]
- Have You Seen Anyone Use Pechaflickr? I’m looking forward to doing a presentation this Friday at Scottsdale Community College on “Imptov-ing Yourself with Pechaflickr” and am hoping to have a few examples of how this improv tool is being used, be it for conference activities or (better yet) educational activities (I have your example, thanks Todd Conaway). So if you have […]
- Lighting the GIF Signal This week in ds106 I give my students the ultimate bootcamp creative challenge – to figure out how to make an animated GIF. The exact wording is “from a favorite movie” but that’s just to get them thinking about topics. Since I do the same work, I needed to step up too- I did two […]

- Daily Create Week 1 Recap Because the new ds106 Daily create is so distributed, and sometime the tags fail to bring content into the main site, I am requiring my students to either blog their efforts as they go (which some are doing), or post a summary at the end of the week. This will not only make it easier […]
- Grant’s Road [Tunes] This photo is somewhere near the Arizona / New Mexico border. It was fitting to see a sign for Grants Road, since I had been listening to @grantpotter playing a set of road tunes for me on ds106radio. It was epic, and carried me clear from east of Holbrook AZ into Albuquerque NM. It’s just […]
- No Moss There is no moss on this roving stone. In 30 minutes, me and Red Dog are headed back up this hill on AZ 87 towards Winslow, turning right on I40, and beelining for the East Coast. A new odyssey. My destination is Fredericksburg VA, where I am teaching a section of ds106 thanks to the […]

- DFW Boomerang It seemed a little odd for week 3’s ds106 assignment to be about 50+ Web 2.0 Ways to tell a story, but there is no way I would just do just another Dominoe story. I was flailing around for an idea, and the story just happened while wandering about. Here is a Vuvox Collage story […]

- Maybe Not Massively, But Definitely Open, Faculty Seminar cc licensed flickr photo shared by cogdogblog Harumph, that’s me reading an analog book and marking it up. WTF? A few months ago and an NMC Board meeting, Gardner Campbell conjectured the idea to try and create some sort of online reading group among our community. The idea bubbled a bit (I was pondering using […]

- When Life Gets Your Down, Despair It has been a loooooong time since I looked at the Demotivational Posters from Despair, which I can remember from way back when the web was young and we spun HTML by hand. For a lover of sarcasm, this is one of the highest art forms, taking potshots at those motivational posters the PHBes put […]
- Off to San Antonio Plenty of Instructions at the Alamo posted 7 Nov ’06, 9.40am MST PST on flickr Do quiet non smoking men only have to remove their hats? Why do women get to keep their hats on? Can we take pictures? This sign from the Alamo hopefully is not hung at the ELI conference venue. Tomorrow (or […]

- Slippery Roaches It’s been a while since I’ve had to waste time dealing with comment spammers, thanks to Dr Dave and Spam Karma 2 plugin for WordPress. However, on oneof my other WP blogs today, the number of spam roaches squeaking under SK2 has been disturnbing. Some tricks ntoed are: (1) They are embedding only one URL, […]

- Small Pieces Gone to the Dogs (Guide Dogs that is) I’ve been deploying my day time discoveries some web design work I do outside the Maricopa gig… most recently wrapping some of the Small Technologies Loosely Joined for the Eye Dog Foundation. This is a local organization that raises and trains German Shepherds as guide dogs for the blind, providing them at no cost. This […]
- Flickr-ing with the Flickr Song If you love flickr as much as me, well, you need a groovy, iPod like tune. A band called birdw0rks has done it, check out the flickr song [4.5 Mb mp3], and if your ears are a bit, ahem, well “mature”, here are the lyrics. Oh, there is also cover art. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So […]
- On the Wrong Side of the Velvet Ropes (Again) After my usual too-much-over-the-top-sarcasm bark at the Professional Bloggers Association, I got a quick professional PBA trackback from their new professional PBA site: Trackback: “Chuckle…” Excerpt: My own personal snarky anti-fan strikes again: http://cogdogblog.com/alan/archives/2005/01/21/amateur.php He does this periodically, so please don’t lash out at him. We all need to be able to laugh at ourselves, […]
- Vancouver Aerial Tagging: Holy Flickr! Holy Flickr! I just blindly stmbled into yet another wildly frenetic flickr functionality. I think it was Roland’s feed that led me here, but flickr is being used, along with its note features, to create a collaborative map of Vancouver– a series of closer and father up images of the city based on ?? Keyhole. […]
