It’s one thing to mutter promises of being back, it’s quite another to actually do it. Through an unlikely path (again), I have finally managed to resurrect the wall of media web presentation tool I ran with for a long while, that which was once known as CoolIris. This was something I fleshed out first […]| CogDogBlog

September brings the season of change, and after almost missing the cut for August and July calling for last day uploads, the Daily Photo habit changed back to getting it done. Well that’s because a week or so ago I caught up on the backlog. Yes, no one I am sure gives one hoot or […]| CogDogBlog
Uh oh. It happened again. Another slide down cogdog rabbit holes of associative trails that cannot be created by any statistical means. It started with a podcast I did not even listen to (until later), one that I saw Wes Fryer post in Mastodon. Wes may have hear his ma talk about The Far Side– […]| CogDogBlog
So I am listening to Dave Winer talk about WordPress and The fediverse, and just had to try Wordland and I am now using it to write a post— it’s gonna happen! What happens next? Is it perfectly imperfect?| CogDogBlog
The first word in that there blog post title is not a verb, not a command, but a noun. An improper noun that is the name of a commercial megamonster corporation that exists to extract more or less Matrix like, the life of its puny little customers.

Name a web site that you used in 2012 that has not stopped working one day right up to 2025. I’m waiting, I am patient. Hmmmm. Not coming to you? Well take the DS106 Daily Create which published its very first creative challenge, TDC1 on January 8, 2012 and yesterday, September 22, 2025 published TDC5000 […]| CogDogBlog
…therefore I still Am. Circling back, and forward from, April 19, 2003. That was 8205 days ago, 5809 posts prior to this. All created, managed, and hoisted on my own blog.

If July was dicy, in August wheels almost came off the bus for being on track with the this year’s Daily Photo Habit. Photos were indeed taken daily, but they sat idle, and the backlog grew into a big pile attended to in mid September (meaning this month too is slack). But hey, no one […]| CogDogBlog
Just to keep the blog reflexes flexing, this is a brain dump recap of me having enjoyed a session yesterday being on the Reclaim Hosting video chat session Blogging Community of Practice. Is that t…| CogDogBlog
I both wince and smile when I see those proclamations about the web [internet] being broken. I’d like to know the field data that is based upon. To say this confidently, someone would have to visited and explored every single corner of the web. I for one have been exploring for 2 plus decades and […]| CogDogBlog
I love WordPress. And I love the Fediverse. So together, I love the ActivityPub WordPress plugin that is the magic pixie dust betwxit them. This is an experiment. I published a post here yesterday …| CogDogBlog
A typical scroll trip through almost any social media stream. People share a link to something from the New York Times. Clunk. Another from the Washington Post. Thud. MIT Technology Review? Splat. …| CogDogBlog
July was a bit tenuous for this year’s Daily Photo Habit, and things were looking dicy, but a big upload push last week filled in the first 3 weeks of the month. Now it looks easy, but the se…| CogDogBlog
Given the faithful rising to the Reverend’s Come to Bava call to Blog or Die I want to pick up on the followup invocation of Always Be Commenting. I’ve long clung to the idea that the s…| CogDogBlog
While many people are slamming WordPress because of its baby in charge, I’m focussed still on the open source software I run on my own sites that are not impacted by the tantrums. Lately I ha…| CogDogBlog
