While traveling, I am missing out on most of the wild antics going on in ds106 where there appears to be hostile class takeovers, student revolts, and a lot of name tossing going on. It’s no wonder what the MOOC people hardly mention this class, as it fits no mold any online open course has […]
I’m relaxing in a coffee shop in Golden, Colorado, checking the ds106 streams and missing the creative play. Seeing Jim’s efforts made me wonder if I could whip one together ove lunch. Since I am traveling, I was thinking maybe one of my photos might be a start point… Then I remembered Dr Garcia’s comment […]
My friend Debbie (not friend like in the real sense) (or any sense) (but it sounds good) is so popular with her eHarmony bio video, she has like 10,000,000 views. She’s a star! And thus, she has inspired me to respond to Dr O’blivion’s opening video for ds106– here it is
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 […]
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 […]
(one last post before I exit for camping!) For those in the ds106 Radio fold, this week’s drama has been the reported demise of our New/Old Radio Friend, Scottlo. The “death” part being a bit downloayed, it has been a fascinating thing to watch unfold as he (Scottlo? Otto? Frank?) examines, reinvents, who he is […]
Don’t ask me why I tooled around in Firebug, but my sarcasm spot sure needed some itching. I was looking at some of the works done for the web story assignment in Martha’s ds106 session (wither the URL for the class blog?). I was wondering if this time I could do the whole thing in […]
In watching the first episode of All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace I became mesmerized by the shifting, laser like movement of Ayn Rand’s eyes in the interview sequence. It lulled me into a trance, mumbling zombie-like “Must make animated GIF… Must make animated GIF… Must make animated GIF… Must make animated GIF… […]
