That’s right. “They” will be here, keeping you up late at night in front of the blinking screen — rattling their animated chains, broadcasting ghostly noises, spooking you to do things daily, remixing your senses… August 27 marks the start of the two online sections of ds106 at University of Mary Washington. Will “you” be […]
No one really reads this blog, I hope. I am testing this. Let’s say we need to add some documentation here for doing email…
Thanks to a tweet from Doug Belshaw I found a nifty service for moving photos between different photo sharing sites- while functionally useful, pixelpipe or http://pi.pe is an interesting model to look at data transfer. https://twitter.com/dajbelshaw/status/231787637093064705 You authenticate with the service via either Facebook or a Google account (I hear you cringing), and then in […]

Sigh, July somehow gobbled up my momentum from my time spent at the University of British Columbia in June, even with the fun of rebooting the old CAREO service in Brian Lamb’s [old] office. But as follow-up to my interview with UBC History professor Tina Loo I had also interviewed three of her students to […]
