I’m ambiholidayous– I’ll celebrate anything. While growing up in a Jewish home in Baltimore, we had Hannukah this time of year. At the same time, one of my Dad’s favorite activities was taking me for a walk in the neighborhood to see the decorated houses– ours never had the lights and doo-dads, but we liked […]

Now they see each other, and its a herd, movement… stampede? cc licensed flickr photo shared by crowdive Yup, there are MOOCs on the moooooove. Okay, enough of the bovine innuendos. But what is […]
cc licensed flickr photo shared by cogdogblog My Mom is too much… too much goodness. She loves giving little presents. This big boxed arrived via FedEx; in it were some holiday gifts for a friend’s son, but Mom also stuffed it full of kitchen gadgets she claimed were laying arounf un-used in her kitchen. And […]

In the pre-launch fury for the ds106 Digital Storytelling Open Course, I thought it would be fun (and easy to set up) to create a new place on the Five Card Flickr Stories site for us to play. Want to have a go at making a story? Head over to http://web.nmc.org/5cardstory/play.php?suit=ds106. I’m curious to see […]
