How can you be #4life without over 600 blog posts about ds106?
File this one in the Unexpected Wonderful Internet Things That Started With an Almost Random Click department. I do like to know when someone comments on my flickr photos. In a previous version of the mobile app, what it showed for notifications matched the settings you make on the web for your flickr activity. You […]
Whilst passing through various discussions, tweet streams, blog posts about education, I end up feeling like Michelle Flaherty because I am always reaching for my experience and examples from ds106 (I won’t embed the video 😉 While not much actively involved lately, since 2011, I have been an open participant, a face to face course […]
My “involvement” in #rhizo15 is pretty much listening to the tea leaves in twitter, today’s bits had a fair bit of rumbling about “Content is People!” When I read Simon’s post I really had expectations of a DEVO song.

Trippy. The frames of this gif (image data) were edited in audio editing software. It’s in the realm of glitch art as the effects created are largely unpredictable. It’s a matter of saving an image in an uncompressed format, importing into Audacity, applying an effect or two, and exporting back again. I saw a link […]
Dusting off some ds106 poster riffing. I guess there as some fun banter about remixing james bond posters with some dogs we know, Mariana was off and running with it… But she let me down by not making it an assignment. So I had to step in with The Best Bond Is A Dog: All […]
