- Our Drone Has Gone Missing I’m still quite on the toe of the learning curve with the DJI Mini 2 drone I got for a gift a few months back (thanks Andy Rush for the recommend). The video quality is stunning, and we are using it to get high and wide views of our acreage. My navigation needs practice though […]
- Could Not Stop Making Bookmarklet Tools I was a bit excited to push out my recent bookmarklet tool experiment. The reception was kind. I was hasty in the naming of it in github tying to google images because as alluded to, I realized I could make a new one for searching Openverse (the updated version of Creative Commons CC Search). I […]

- Yes, Photoing (daily) Show me the exact line between habit and obsession. I might take a photo of it. Since 2008 I have attempted, though not 100% succeeded, at taking photographs every day, posting my favorite to flickr, as one of more than 1700 others in the Daily Photos group there https://www.flickr.com/groups/366photos/. The calendar change means setting up […]

- Wrenching a Font Awesome 5 Menu Plugin Sometimes in technology you just have to whack a wrench at something to make it work. Way back when I started at the Maricopa Community Colleges, there was a surly old guy named “Bill” who serviced computers in the building. I had an issue with a Mac, and called in for help. Bill showed up, […]

- On The Listening Deck This might set my dubious record of the longest post to get around to writing, but it’s important (to me) as the fitting close to my month of November Down Under. That image at the top of the post represents the peaceful view from the back deck of Kate Bowles‘ home in Thirroul, New South […]

- Don’t F*** With My Eyes Again cc licensed ( BY SA ) flickr photo shared by Alan Levine It was 1993. One year into my first real job, the first time with real medical benefits. I needed a new prescription for eyeglasses, so I found myself at an optometrist. After he did the usual dial thing with the lens machine (“Which […]

- Hubs of Syndication cc licensed ( BY NC ) flickr photo shared by Thomas Hawk We are big on hubs here at the hub of CogDogBlog. In fact, well, let’s say I am writing something profound about networks and syndication, mainly because I am setting up and testing some blog syndication for Alec Couros’s ETMOOC due to blast […]
- Looking Back on ds106 cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog Here comes the requisite apology for late blogging… I had plans to write up some reflections on the past semester of ds106; this is part 1 of a series, in the next one I hope to look out the front windshield to some ideas for […]

- War of the Yams Yam mania defines ds106, and like my first yam yarn, I have space yams on my mind. It’s 11PM and I’m photoshopping yams. — Tim Owens (@timmmmyboy) January 4, 2012 Hah, Timmmmy, I’m photoshopping yams at 12:30 AM, because IT’S A WAR OUT THERE IN YAM SPACE (as well as in the oceans) This is […]
- ds106 Super Heroes: Bava Mathers Super Heroes, we’ve got them in ds106. In digging the archives of bavatuedays, I recently came across Jim’s post on Cotton Mather, Marvel Supervillian? in which we see the source of his lovely blog icon. Ultimately, this leads to full profile bio of this dude, Cotton Mather. And so I dig back, and find that […]
- Animated Movie Poster: Bridge over River Kwai And the ds106 pre-course assignmnet craze moves into 11th gear. Michael Branson-Smith takes the movie poster into a new dimension with his iteration of American Werewolf in London featuring two different elements of movement life sizing the original page. Next, Jim Groom crams about 5 animated GIFs into one with his version of Jason and […]
- Dull Women/Immaculate Homes (Flickr Visualized Quotes) This is the infectious handoff nature of ds106 that I love the most. While never really becoming the kind of musician who can truly “jam”, in a way we are doing this with ideas. After posting the contorted how tos for my language tool, John Johnston commented on his own experimentation where we hooked together […]
- Yam Trek! Star Yam! Star Yam 13: The Final Leftovers is the next series of adventures for Captain James T. Fork of the Starship Yamterprise, it’s 9 year mission, to sek out new plates and new celebrations, to boldly go where no yam has gone before! It’s a Yam Jam Theme, starting with Lisa Lane sailing the Yam Boat, […]
- The Myth of Originality: Raiders of the Lost Archives The next time you run into one of those people that cling fast to how original their craft, writing, research is as a justification for not sharing– pull out this video. Whoever the folks are at StooTV, they have pulled together clips of 30 action films from 1919 and 1973, and put them side by […]

- Yep, Ignore This Trying to see if Twitter Tools plugin can actually tweet the URL for this post. Update: Yep, it works, It seems like the Bit.ly url shortener plugin was not working.
- Sharing iPhone Apps… “there’s an app for that” My friend Nick in Hong Kong emailed me recently eager for some recommendations to fill up a few screens of his iPhone (I should really send him to the King of Apps, Marco Torres, who I am sure has filled to the max his screens). Rather than trying to page through screens and type names, […]

- Teaching and Cover Bands I’m on a video spree tonight; playing around with the goofy squirrel movie got me thinking about another video I slapped together last May for a presentation I did at University of Mary Washington– this was the first go around for “Being There” which turned out in some ways to be “Alan’s Favorite Things and […]

- 5th Year, Still Flash Mapping With IndyJunior I have a soft sentimental spot for technology thats till works well after a 5+ year lifespan. Since 2003, on this blog, I have made use of Bryan Boyer’s IndyJunior Flash Mapping Module, which parses data from an external XML file to plot geographic locations that this dog travels to or has been before– see […]
- Greatest Web Thing Since… This might be Chapter 57 of my tool brigade— I have known peripherally about LibraryThing for a while, and did play a while ago with a pale cousin named Reader2.. but holy #@^@%, Does LibraryThing (hereto-after referred to as LT) rock as a powerful social net app. It starts in email.. someone on the NMC […]
- 0.5 of a 43 Thing flickr foto 0.5 of a 43 Thingavailable on flickr One of my 43 Things is listed as "Sell a Photograph as Art". I think this comes close. A few months ago, maybe more, someone from a publishing company asked permission to use a rather old photo from my Sonoran Desert Sampler (actually it is a […]

- Bloggers For Hire Maybe its resolution time. In this first burst of 2006 and more than a few big times bloggers are hanging out their “will blog for _______ signs” or going indy. In a long tangent to a post by Will Richardson on “Reinventing Ourselves, Stephen Downes lets loose his desire for a new venue. So long […]
- The Duke- a 2.0 Thing With Meaning Finally- something with a “2.0” on the end that has substance! My first tech task of 2006 has been the upgrade of CDB to WordPress 2.0 the “Duke” release. There should not be any noticable difference from your view, dear reader, as apparently most of the enhancements are under the hood. I avoided the excitement […]

- AT&T Wins The CogSogBlog All Time Customer Service Hall of Shame Readers of the CogDog may know we are not that gentle towards bad service from big corporate entities. My recent experience with AT&T Universal and Phone Company (and whatever the other percentage of the universe they own) has earned them the all time Pile of Stinky Poop Award for doing just that with their service. […]
- No Photoshop At All flickr foto No Photoshop At Allavailable on my flickr This looks like something one does by compositing and feather-edging layers in PhotoShop, but I can vouch that this is an un-retouched photo. The view is looking in the window of the Strawberry Schoolhouse (the oldest standing school house in Arizona!), and I thought the light […]
