The future of the StoryBox is subject for a new post. Let’s say my new approach is to find ways to release the content by making it available for people to create remixed new works out of the pieces. The original media shall remain in the box, in the time capsule, but can be released by remix.
Here I wanted to share three things I made out of the StoryBox content, as the first public examples.
creative commons licensed image from joe_x A mopey audio reflection following my second in person class of ds106, from two weeks ago. Seven minutes and forty six seconds of blah. http://cogdogblog.com/wp-content/audio/slice-010.mp3 Recorded walking home after a class that just did not flow well at all. I did not feel in best game form, the students […]
Last year in ds106 I built a few of my assignments out of the movie Dirty Harry — and having seen this movie just last night, I am just shifting to another classic San Francisco cop, Bullitt. I did this for the Bad Guy Business Cards design assignment — and completely missing that it said […]
Oops, I got in my mind to do a ds106 design assignment, and ended up doing a visual one! Oh well, it’s done. This is for the Four Icon Challenge (which to me should be design!): Reduce a movie, story, or event into it’s basic elements, then take those visuals and reduce them further to […]
I’m setting up an example of how I might do my weekly recaps if I were a student in my ds106 class (cough) (cough). I am doing the same work my students are doing. Daily Creates Our task this week was to do one every day! I got 7 out of 7. These were challenging […]
I have been wanting to make a good attempt at Annie Belle’s Switch up the Mood ds106 assignment: Color, lighting, saturation, contrast, and many other factors all play in to taking a decent photo and making it fabulous. This assignment is to change the mood or tone of a photograph by altering the contrast, brightness, […]

Say it Like the Peanut Butter has been a long standing popular ds106 assignment- capture a key moment in a movie in the form of an animated GIF.
Over the summer I did some experiments with using my own photos to generate animated GIFs, and I am making this into a new ds106 assignment.
Photo it Like the Peanut Butter
For this assignment, generate an animated GIF of a real world object/place by using your own series of photographs as the source material.
I have already written up a few blog posts with my method; the key is taking a series of photos with little or no movement of your camera – a tripod is strongly recommended, but I have gotten away with ones done with multiple shot mode on my Canon DSLR.
The first one I spotted in Nashville as I was fascinated by the reflections of the Cumberland river in the windows of a building (the how to was blogged as Animated GIFs from Your Own Photos):
Get out in front of this meme or get out of the way! Beyond Cat Breading lies the bizarre space of Jim Groom Breading: This started with the almost incomprehensible Cat Breading ds106 assignment: The latest bizarre trend blowing up Facebook mini-feeds everywhere? Cat Breading. (Think LOLcats, but with a trippy twist””each adorable kitten has […]
cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog This audio reflection comes close to the end of my cross country sprint from Arizona to Virginia, as I close in on Fredericksburg Virginia, where I am now, and not planning on driving away from for a while. Maybe it will become Hallowed Ground Slices […]
