Being open and supporting openness is one thing. You make the step to leave the door open, letting the outside come in, ro maybe just let them see inside your living room. But it also can feel like FoD Syndrome (Field of Dreams), if you Open it They Will Come. But it’s another whole level […]
ds106 is going to a new level of meta-ness, as unleashed live this morning on ds106.tv. It was here, that the teacher, Dr. O’Blivion, made his first class address, in the medium form which he will only communicate- TV. His TA, Jim Groom, will be the conduit to the teacher for students and class participants. […]
A bad link click turns up some stuff from that Bag of Gold- the link was in the twitter river, for something I forget, and ot was not found on the site, but the site itself caught my interest– http://www.howtobearetronaut.com/, where the subtitle is “Ever get the feeling you’re living in the wrong time?”. It […]
Since I’ll be on the road alot soon, I’m doubtful I will get to play on the next Dr. Oblivion round of ds106, but while I have time, I wanted to dip my paws again into animated GIF creations. Now having done a few, I am trying to think more ahead of time what might […]
Recently “on The Twitter”, Scott Leslie rightfully chided me because my web page describing the concept for the StoryBox was long — Don’t apologize Scott, I like you because you say it like it is, cause you carry the card.

This psychotic animated GOF was grabbed hastily from the Amazing Story video JIm did for me when he visited Strawberry last month. Not quite yet the perfect style, I am getting a better handle on isolating movement (sometimes- my Ayn Rand one was better). My current technique is: Load video into MPEGStream Clip Use the […]
cc licensed ( BY SD ) flickr photo shared by qthomasbower I’m starting a countdown for the start of my Road Odyssey, and today is 7 days out. I doubt anyone cares to read the minutiae navel gazing as I ramp up (or down) to this, but hey, I am writing for ME, ME, and […]
When Bryan Alexander tweeted his dislike of ET, I could not help but play with him… Hence… Who else does he side with? The Orcs? Jame Gumb? Freddy Krueger? jack Torrance? Lex Luthor? Gollum? Just kidding, Ax-man, you know I dig your style.
(the movie, not the country!) I had promised myself to avoid blogging or tweeting all the injustices inflicted upon my by heartless and stupid companies, no #FAIL proclamations. Oh well, time to bust my own promise. But really, the communcination systems I find myself dealing with seem right out of the Ministry of Information. Yesterday, […]
