I was trapped in my car all afternoon burning with desire to feed the MacGuffin Alt Movie Syndrome. Seeing Michael Branson Smith’s “A Few Not Son Good Men” it struck my the same scene could be MacGuffin’ed the other way. For me, it better fits my loathing of Tom Cruise. And the community service idea […]
I got MacGuffin fever– it might be this ds106 semester’s animated gif? We all know that collaboration is the way to go, right? We all hold hands, go off to northern canada, and sing tra-la-la-la? 😉 It’s 2011, a ds106 Odyssey! BA….. DA….. DA DA
Been thinking of movies to flip the McGuffin on for this week’s hot ds106 assignment, Messing with the McGuffin: Wikipedia defines the MacGuffin as “a plot element that catches the viewers’ attention or drives the plot of a work of fiction.” For this assignment forever change the plot of a movie, tv show, etc. by […]

You can go back to a place, but you can’t go back. Nor should you want to. But maybe you want to.
On my trip around the East Coast, I have visited bits of my past, e.g where I did my undergrad years (or where I did my undergraduate fun). On plotting today’s odyssey leg from southeastern Pennsylvania to Washington, I noticed my route went very near Thurmont Maryland.
Which is near Cactoctin Mountain Park.
Which us where, almost exactly 25 tears ago (well in 3 weeks), is the place I lost Dominoe in the woods, and she found me.

I am sure with some hacking and Arduino skills, this is certainly possible. But then again, Social Media Dust Bunnies look […]
I hate to come off as an outdoor snob, but on my trip, what many people describe as “camping” is pulling some giant metal box into a parking lot, unrolling the satellite dish, and sleeping inside. At the campground at Glacier National park, a giant ‘bago rolled in, the lights went on, and no one […]
