A rather surprising email floated through the box yesterday: I’m a librarian at a college in Pennsylvania, and I’m trying to track down a current link to Negative Reinforcement University. One of our Animal Science professors has shared the resource with his students in the past. He speaks very highly of the site and would […]
I dread those meetings with my editor. She is rather harsh. Just the way she looks down on me. I have a new manuscript for her to review. I just cannot predict how she will react. This was our last meeting. This is my go at a new ds106 Sound Effects Story: Tell a story […]
Of the 30,000 photos I have uploaded to flickr in the last 9 years I’d guess more than a third were taken in my 1/3 acre yard or house. My guess might be totally off, but I have yet to find on a given day that I cannot locate something new, different. Being home this […]

cc licensed ( BY NC ND ) flickr photo shared by craig.letourneau.photography I’ve known Cole Camplese for some time, we’ve blogged together, presented together, hung out all night after dull conferences together, drank together, I’ve dropped in and stayed at his house several times. I can remember the first time I came across his work- […]
A Wiggle Spectroscopy ds106 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. A very good tutorial explaining the full process can be found on Martin Sutherland’s website. I did not even intend […]
