I’ve got an interest in beefing up my JavaScript tools in 2012- I’ve mildly dabbled on and off, but am far behind in the current state of the code. I started doing more trying to build more of the onboard interfaces for the StoryBox, mainly because I lacked the python chops to do so. But […]
Following on Dean Shareski’s 1461 and counting, I was inspired to create a video from my own 2011/365 photos. In previous years, I used the easiest method for this, using the pummelvisoon site, but wanted to see if it could be easily done in my own tools. It took not long at all! Since I […]
It was while visiting Leslie last night that she shared a wonderful way to set up an approach to the new year, that she learned from Stephen Hurley (see his word for 2012). Rather than the usual concept of resolutions, which tend to be setups for failures by making one shot goals of things we […]
Here is yet another new ds106 assignment. There are not quite as many for the writing type, so I wanted to add to the bucket. This builds off of the Photo Translation one (I am stoked to see folks playing with it right off the bat) and uses the Words with No Translation tool. I […]
Tomorrow is the 365th day of the year. If I was a perfectionist, I’d be distraught over having missed 15 days out of my 2011/365 photos. Nah. I spent a few nights going back and picking ones I had posted and had forgotten to add to my set. I fixed a few that were mis-numbered, […]

Having tossed down a gauntlet on assignment creation, I could sit idly without bring some more “A Game”. Here ny example for a new assignment based on illustrating words that have no English translation. Glas Web “A smile that is insincere or mocking. Literally, a blue smile.”cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo by babasteve: […]
cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by Gamma Man Among my favorite echos of Jim Groom-isms is the approach of bringing your “A” Game to whatever you do- be it presentations, animated GIFs, radio shows. Don’t just show up with your average stuff if you want to play in big leagues. So I […]
Dog on a laptop. It’s time to warm up the ds106 assignment muscles, given that it is almost 2012, and things are already ramping up as evidenced by actual posts going on over at bavatuesdays. My plan is to comb through the assignments and find some that may have been lightly touched; but we are […]
