Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
cc licensed ( BY NC ND ) flickr photo shared by Danforth1 My section of ds106 starts tomorrow, I am teaching a section completely online. I just realized I never reflected much on the summer experience, wich was the first time doing it online. The summer version is even more different, because we have room […]

Our new old radio friend is off to tame the Arabian penninsula https://twitter.com/scottlo/status/239383608970850304 It seems only fitting to make a movie poster: A mighty spectacle of action and adventure! Prince Feisal: My friend Scottlo, if I may call him that. “My friend Scottlo”. How many men will claim the right to use that phrase? How […]

This is not a criticism at all of the software, but more at the curious attitudes of […]
cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by Victor Bezrukov I am among the many afflicted by the ds1o6 fever of animated GIFs. Riddle me this; why oh why, Grand Oracle of Google, can one actually upload an ainamted GIF to Google Drive but not be allowed to use it? Here is an animated […]
On today’s drive across a large swath of Virginia, I was listening to some episode of a new radio show The Truth. With production quality along the lines of This American Life I am thinking it has good examples for ds106 students to learn the qualities of good audio storytelling (use of music, sound effects, […]
Time will tell (very soon) whether my string of Signing Up for Open Courses and Bailing Early (ahem PLENK10, Coursera, Code Academy, MOOCMOOC) continues. I’m hoping to change that with Pedagogy First! Program for Online Teaching’s 2012-2013 Certificate Program: This online open class from Miracosta College is led by people I totally adore and respect, […]
I have no idea why I did not think of this before…. PLUS That is combining the photos submitted for the ds106 Daily Create with Five Card flickr Stories? Now it is in place- if you post your Daily Create photos with the flickr tag dailycreate (along with your regular TDCXXX […]
I’ve still not come to a grand idea what to do with the media I collected last year in the StoryBox. Some I am using as I work on spinning new stories and tales in Cowbird (where I continue to lag a month behind last year’s schedule). One of the gifts that has continued since […]

On my last day in Fredericksburg, I went to the bank to close out an account, and came across the spectacle above.

There is nothing like a little destruction to attract attention, and of course I started hearing music in my head
No, no I never was a sinner-tell me what else can I do
Second best is what you get-till you learn to bend this rules
Time respects no person-what you lift up must fall
They’re waiting outside-to claim my crumblin’ walls
(lyrics from John Cougar Mellencamp)
I’m not saying any of my walls are crumblin down, but it was fun to watch that digger knock away the bricks.
So much I made it my Daily Create, which was supposed to be a 36 second video showing a 360 degree panorama.
But the pics I got really lent themselves to some Animated GIF action
