I was way overdue in rolling some updates into the source code (available on google code) for my Five Card Flickr Stories site. Before my departure from NMC, I moved the site from their servers to my own, so the new main site is at http://5card.cogdogblog.com/ (I left a URL redirect on the NMC site, […]
As a variation on the Google Maps Story assignment for ds106, I was thinking of some other creations one could do via the maps. This was mulling through me head as I was driving this morning to Flagstaff via one of the prettiest highways, the Lake Mary Road north of Clints Well. So my game […]
Whew, I finished my ds106 Video Essay assignment on Lonely are the Brave, the 1962 not-western starring Kirk Douglas. The movie is based on Edward Abbey’s second published novel, The Brave Cowboy. According to the extras on the DVD, Douglas was very taken by the novel and personally was driven to see that it was […]

With my changes at NMC and gardner Campbell’s transition to Virginia Tech, we’ve not been very active, but Gardner is cooking up […]

This is the final chapter to the story I wrote earlier this month of how a photo of some potential firewood I posted on flickr led me to mailing a log to Canada… and now Di has worked her magic wood turning and returned to me two lovely pens made from my wood! cc licensed […]

I’ve been un-employed a week, and still soaking in the incredible response to my announcement and road plans… and now there are even more dots on the map to connect. That adventure will start sometime in June.
I have yet to spend a day on the couch or even to sit around and watch movies. My biggest current project is sanding and painting my two decks; the smaller one has already taken much longer than anticipated just to get to the point of painting (tomorrow).
But that does not mean I am vanishing from my edtech interests. I’m still doing my stuff for ds106, even now setting up some times for a show ida tomorrow for ds106 radio. I’ll be part of a rowdy panel on this at Northern Voice as well as doing another solo presentation (a version of Looking Through the Lens).
This turned out to be a love/hate/love assignment for ds106- Telling Stories in/on the web. It was a brilliant, creative, and challenging assignment cooked up by Martha. The task is to re-write a public web page to have it tell a new story, using only code (especially the Firebug plugin for Firefox). I’ll b&m about […]
