How can you be #4life without over 600 blog posts about ds106?
This morning’s RSS buzz, or rippling murmur, is the web video from upstart LMS Instructure announcing the open-sourceness of their Canvas platform, and with it, a literal parody of Apple’s then ground breaking 1984 video: As a frequently off target metaphor users, I step blindly into pot calling kettle black, but is the 1984 really […]
I am trying to restrain the time sink that might become participating in ds106 radio, but it is easy to get sucked into the vortex. I made a little audio mashup the other not and dropped it in the bin, but you never know exactly where it goes from there- part of that is the […]
I’m tickled, not ecstatic rolling on the floor, about the response among the ds106 participants in creating examples of mini stories using the tools from 50+ Web 2.0 Ways to Tell a Story. I’ve always wanted to have more examples to include, and ds106 provides, abides, subsidizes…What is really cool is that they seem to […]

This might come up in ds106 as an assignment- creating animated trips through Google Streetview. Jim Groom tried to take credit for “inventing: it last year, but I am not stepping into that dog pit again. Well maybe I am— as I had done one in 2008, grabbing screen shots of Google Streetview’s trip down […]

Bear with me on a metaphorical stretch. Seat belts are not required, but we will practice our breathing. Wikimedia CC licensed image As a kid, I always liked being in the water- I never enjoyed swimming per se, but I loved seeing how far I could go, how many laps I could do, underwater in […]
And here we go! ds106 is off the ground with week 1’s assignment, a post with typical Groomian oomph (‘this ain;t like your mama’s MOOC”). We are to do any kind of short story about something that happened recently. I was toying with some tech and came up with a half baked idea to try, […]
