April 6, 2025
There’s times when I sit down at this here new post page thinking I have something to write about… and find out I have already done so. Well, the thing is open so I can add a bit more wood to the post pile. Just in February I wrote about a fleet of WordPress sites […]
Got Three (months of daily photos)
CogDog The Blog - April 3, 2025
You know the old saying, right? March, in at 60 and out at 90? Huh? Days of the year! That’s right, I made it in this years Daily Photo Act of Obsession to get to 3 months with no strikes. In 2024 I got this far and daily-ed into mid April before it went POOF. […]
Following the Rumpled TV Detective in the Brown Trenchcoat Down The Web Rabbit Hole
CogDog The Blog - March 29, 2025
Here I go again. That darn crazy internet. One link catches sparkles my curiosity. I’ll just click and peek. I swear I won’t get distracted and start looking things up in weird archive. Just one more click… Two hours later I emerge from the rabbit hole smiling. And later I go back to where I […]
Just Click the Buttons They Give You? Or Make Gizmos like a Mastodon Archiver
CogDog The Blog - March 26, 2025
Likely a mis-applied generalization, but in a few different education spheres I am sensing that both the overload of new tech and the adoption of pre-built systems are contributing to a decline in the will/awareness to look being what an interface presents us. Thus the shiny front allure of GenAI to vibe the work for […]
Blog
CogDog The Blog - March 24, 2025
There it is. Simple. That’s my “secret” for the topic of getting one’s “blog mojo back”. I salute the Reclaim Hosting efforts of Maren Deepwell and “Blog or Die” Jim Groom in their growing of a Blogging in Higher Education Community of Practice including last week’s Community Chat on Reclaim (I was impressed how well […]
Back from 2025 with Terry Anderson’s Amazing Story
CogDog The Blog - March 22, 2025
Over at my OEGlobal perch I just scheduled a new recording session for the OE Global Voices podcast, this by request from the folks at Athabasca University that publish the open access journal, The International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning (IRODDL) as it is their 25th anniversary. And it was exciting to […]
#ErasedAmerica (Explored!)
CogDog The Blog - March 22, 2025
Just like almost everyone with a soul, a partial mind, and a heart, I am aghast at the crumbling into a fascist pile of the country I was born in… and semi-paralyzed on the “what to do”. As mostly, a release is creating something, a visual statement, expression brimming with angry sarcasm. How literally organizations […]
Back to Zero to Zillions via the Web Link Curiosity Trick
CogDog The Blog - March 21, 2025
I admit my weirdness. As a kid (and still one) I love math. I loved doing long division. I loved when my 10th grade whacky Chemistry teacher Bloom Friedmen taught us all about dimensional analysis for unit conversions all it is is multiplying stuff by one. There goes a tangent again. But math and this […]
Scritch and Cup
CogDog The Blog - March 14, 2025
Two unrelated things get connected, yet another installment of loving all the links, worth making a wish for. In the daily ritual department, Cori and I enjoy our first cup of coffee and conversation in bed. Well, she’s the early riser who ventures down to fetch our fresh java. After that, heading downstairs, already my […]
The Mystical Way of Links
CogDog The Blog - March 12, 2025
Links, links, links. Happy [Link Loving] Web Day, being the 36th birthday of the World Wide Web, as it needed to be named at that time. As a well established adult at that age, you are confiden— okay enough web anthropomorphizing. One of those things I tag as webserendipity happened a few days ago, and […]
