Generally, I start out withe the classic half baked quarter thought eight pondered idea and see where it goes. This one could be a […]
I will let the video do the talking here- meet my Strawberry Arizona friend and neighbor Jim, a man full of stories from his years in aviation industry. He recently decided to pass on his pride, a bright blue 1973 Volkswagen Beetle named “Bob”. Today I visited to take some photos and record hom telling […]
I thought it was time to try the ds106 Wiggler Spectroscopy assignment: Take two photos of the same subject from slightly different angles. Merge the two photos into a single looped, animated gif to create a wiggle stereoscopic image that simulates 3-D. I decided to use my pal Spike, the metal dog in my front […]
Time after time the road out of a blog funk is sitting down to make some silly ds106 art. So it was later this afternoon, when this tweet form Cathy Finn-Derecki set me in motion: https://twitter.com/saracup/status/229003436803383297 So challenged to put Sebastian Thrun on the cover of Tiger Beat, I got out the old Photoshop clone […]
Since we are making our ds10r students do it, we really ought to be trying the Remix Generator too. My spin and some play got me: This is the remix of the assignment Brian Metcalfe’s Image with a Message: Demonstrate that “a picture is worth a thousand words” by superimposing a famous quotation over a […]
Okay, you creative wanna be privates! Many of you got down and followed the drill for a week of doing Daily Create assignments every day. THAT IS AMAZING. I did not think you had it in you. BUT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DONE?? YOU ARE NOT DONE YET! NOW YOU HAVE TO MAKE A […]
I like you, You like me. Let’s make a photo. The last Daily Create of the Seven Day Challenge is to make a photo that illustrates the idea of attraction (this is one we borrowed from our inspiration, the Daily Shoot.)
Alas, our crew has dwindled to 15, do you seek more abuse? I will skip. Coming up in a next post will be the challenge wrap up, which is to make some new art out of the pieces we have collected.
Here are some I really enjoyed, just a scroll down past the blog fold…
They’re coming to get you, educator…. But hey, the zombie MOOCs might just be part of every day future society Sing along with them: Mooc, Mooc, Mooc, Mooc, Mooc, Mooc, Mooc, Mooc, Mooc. There’s nothing you can teach that can’t be scaled. Nothing you can grade that can’t be AI’d. Nothing you can tweet but […]
Your week of Daily Create Challenges is almost over. Are you still in it? Today is another audio one, “Flip the decibels- Make a loud sound soft or a soft sound loud” — and very clever because the creativity is both in the choice and thinking about it, and the execution of it.
While 25 people joined the Soundcloud group, as of today I see 12 sounds, which leads me to think people are still working on it (if they do not, the drill sergeant is going to make them run laps all night in the rain).
I really enjoyed the variety here, and these are going to be very interesting media used for the final mashup challenge. A few favorites sit below the blog fold.
The Daily Create Seven Day Challenge piles up hard this week, with another video one today (I did not even look to see what was lined up when I made the challenge). For today’s we have 18 Challengers still standing, which is respectable. Where’s the others? preparing to have sand kicked into their faces, I bet?
Today was another in a series suggested by @noiseprofessor, a philosophy series, “What technology you cannot live without?”:
What can you expect? Mobile phones? Web sites? Computers? Cars? Check out some favorites below the fold…
