Stuff I Can Do

Skills and capabilities that are also demonstrated by the stuff I have done

Tweaking TRU Writer / Coding By No Textbook

December 29, 2014March 5, 2015 cogdog

In some reference of software design, there’s a process where you figure out all the features you might need, plant it all out neatly, build it, and then go into some cycle of testing and debugging. Then you roll it […]

Randomly() Yours

December 20, 2014March 5, 2015 cogdog

Do you really know where your next blog post will come from? Mine kind of pop up like… driving down the road with a destination in mind, and an curious road sign appears. How can you not take that turn? […]

I’m Making Crappy Quality Videos on Purpose

December 17, 2014March 5, 2015 cogdog

Only put your best work out on the public web. You do not want potential employers to find your inferior, embarrassing work. You will look bad. Because, they will judge you solely on THAT and not where it sits in […]

Try Out / Please Break TRU Writer?

December 13, 2014March 5, 2015 cogdog

Saying I am excited is an understatement for the tinkering that has produced the previously described TRU Writer site. I spent time on a Friday night just fiddling with functionality no one will ever notice. In summary, the notion of […]

Peek in the SPLOT: TRU Writer

December 5, 2014March 5, 2015 cogdog

So far on my fellowship here at TRU I have partially developed three Smallest Possible Learning Online Tools (again give all credit/blame for the acronym to Señor Borregoruido). I am not quite convinced they will evolve into anything usable, but […]

Creative Commons Ought to Travel With the Media

December 3, 2014March 5, 2015 cogdog

From some banter via twitter this morning with Clint Lalonde and Pat Lockley, it occurred to me a great challenge to Creative Commons is that the license is metadata that is usually separated from the content it refers too– e.g. […]

Partial Intro to The Daily Blank

December 1, 2014March 5, 2015 cogdog

That’s meant to be blank like _________ like make your own site that operates like the DS106 Daily Create. I’ve been mumbling about it for like months, and sat down to start tinkering about a week ago. I think most […]

Us ‘n Machines

November 30, 2014March 5, 2015 cogdog

A meandering romp through the relationships of us and our tools to what it means to develop/use technologies that are what Audrey Watters write as “habitable, sustainable, and healthy”. So oft uttered in the edtech field, having done my share […]

Always Be Attributing

November 30, 2014March 5, 2015 cogdog

An endless theme in the CogDogBlog House, promoting the radical, all so time consuming habit (invisible sarcasm tags here) of giving other people attribution for what they share. Eight years ago I hoped I had coined linktribution. Never caught on. […]

The Storybox Materializes at ETUG

November 26, 2014March 10, 2015 cogdog

Two weeks ago I was in Vancouver for the ETUG Fall 2014 Workshop, what a great gathering and with their un-conference format, a refreshing experience from the typical conference grueling treadmill present-o-rama format. I was not sure I would stand […]

All Your WordPress Option Are Belong to Us

November 24, 2014March 5, 2015 cogdog

There might be some value in my sloppy keyboarding skills beyond humorous typos and misplaced punctuation that drives Sandy Brown Jensen batty. I just mistyped a WordPress URL and cracked a lid on something. I even forget know why I […]

The Googling Eye: Mashup Poster Re-Deconstucted

November 9, 2014March 5, 2015 cogdog

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… […]

The You Show Videos

Probably the most rewarding thing Brian and I did on the You Show was our series of introductory videos. The ironic thing is that they are not even essential to the “content.” I’ve been thinking about that nearly all of […]

We’re In the First Issue of TRU Learning

The You Show is featured in TRU Learning, the newsletter of the Centre for Student Engagement and Learning Innovation. It’s available as a downloadable PDF An intrepid cohort of the TRU community is in the midst of… something. It is […]

A Two Dog Theme Demo

Most of the time it’s intentional, but I do not always plan to use a dog metaphor. It just happens. In setting up the trubox multisite as a place for You Show participants to start their blogs, I came up […]
