cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog I do not know my finch from a grackle- my extent of observing birds is being able to say, “there’s a bird”.

I took a spin on the random button for the ds106 audio asignments and ha ha ha, I got one I had submitted, Character Bird Calls:
Like some people use special whistles to attract birds, your task is to create an 30 second or less audio file that might be used to “call” a particular character from a movie, tv, or real life. It cannot feature voices, but sounds only (try http://freesounds.org). Write a description why this sound would be attractive to the character, why it would be effective (be inventive, write a story about it).
(Stranglely the example I did, Calling Dr Oliver never got added, hmmmm).
So began to consider maybe a pair of characters calling each other, who might that be? My brain mulled back to the childhood TV shows I watched, so here is my bird call (details below the fold) (don’t peek)?

I’m late with my ds106 design stuff, but you will not catch me saying I am sorry. cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog I did assemble this for the Postcards from Magical Places assignment, which we had our UMW students with a requirement that the image come from Minecraft. Design the […]

As prelude to Northern Voice 2012, today I attended the ScOPE Online Community Enthusiasts meeting, a meeting I got much out of last year. IN her inimitable way, Nancy White shared the sketched agenda by laying on the floor and spinning herself around like a (not) Lazy Nancy– which begged to be GIFed
