Add an “X” to that photo… ACMI is a major museum on the center of it all at Federation Square, in Melbourne. It’s not a “film” museum, note that it’s name is the Australian Centre for the Moving Image. That’s smart. How I ended up there for an afternoon last week is a story in […]
I’m very fortunate that the International Specialised Skills Institute organizers of my speaking schedule suggested visiting The Song Room. The Song Room is a national not-for-profit organisation that brightens the futures of Australia’s most disadvantaged children with tailored, high-quality music and arts programs, delivered in partnership with schools across the country. Their work is both […]
Last Thursday, November 9, was a full workshop day at Chisholm Institute in Cranbourne, more than a few clicks south of Melbourne city proper. I was fortunate to have energetic groups for both morning and afternoon workshops. The topic in the morning was Finding the Affordances of Digital Media– it’s the tagline that gives it […]
Yikes! I’m in that sad position of back blogging… This goes back to last week, my very first workshop session for my ISS Institute Tour. This was for instructional designers, assessment specialists and educational technologists who work for the online arm of Chisholm Institute and held at their office in Dandenong. They had chosen from […]
It’s been a nice cuppa days here since arriving in Melbourne… My long time friend Jan, whom I knew way back when when we both worked at Maricopa, came into the city to lunch Saturday and walk a bit with me (and enjoy two cups of coffee in the laneway near my apartment). Jan has […]
You can’t get places without a map, can you? Even if you do not use one, your journey is mapped. Well, I think so, since I adore maps. I was not thinking about putting one together, though, until a tweet from Bruno who saw my tweets from Death Valley, on the drive from Arizona to […]
How it was done in the old days, with a film camera and a mirror. That’s my trusty old Nikkormat (sadly gpne) set up in my bathroom in Mesa. I had darkroom equipment then and processed image in the same bathroom. You kids and your sticks and mobile phones 😉 Yesterday I cracked open the […]
Hello flickr explore, it’s been a while…. Perhaps you were hungry The thing is there’s not a whole lot to say about the photo. It’s a pie. It’s the first home made apple pie of 2017, as my tree has a pretty good amount of fruit on it. The recipe is not a family secret, […]
Alan Levine on Warning: possible technical jargon will follow, all efforts are being made to keep it to a minimum. In our recent presentation at the 2017 Creative Commons Summit I attempted to explain how the content source for the Certificates lives as Markdown format in GitHub (that’s minus two jargon points). Since we have a group of […]
Alan Levine on In anticipation for Saturday’s presentation of the Certificates project at the Creative Commons Global Summit this is yet another round at explaining the architecture (still developing), as likely a lot of details will not be covered. My idea/goal/dream has been not to pick or designate a single platform for the certificate (at least for the […]
