It’s time to get all wide-eyed and get started on my August project- to recast the ds106 Assignment Bank into a wordpress theme that would have the functionality built into it for people to create other kinds of sites with the same features. The first step was to create the development site, which shall remain […]

Ugh. I admit I was not crazy about today’s ds106 Daily Create, a video challenge: Video yourself singing a verse of your national anthem as fast as you can. Thanks Bill Smith, cannot wait to see YOUR video! Someone who’s identity I will protect emailed me and yelled “Nooooo! I ain’t gonna do it!” I […]
I’ve already barked about how cheap it is to like stuff on Facebook (my campaign to have everyone like everything failed).

Today’s ds106 Daily Create was another video one, these are the kind that make the weak run for the hills crying “Mommy! Video is so complicated…” Make a stop motion movie that brings something to life in a unique way. I actually may have never done a stop motion video before, so that’s why I […]
Did you think I fell of the challenge? Well maybe I did, with guests in the last week, but I am not a quitter or a crybaby, and I am on track to pick up the pace of daily creates from the last few days. Today was a video challenge, to make use of unused […]
Maybe it’s the impeding headless ds106 course coming next month, or maybe it’s just the phases of the moon, but I felt the rekindled urge to experimenting once again with making animated GIFs from a sequence of still photos. This happens in two ways: (1) I anticipate an action sequence, and deliberately take a series […]
