How can you be #4life without over 600 blog posts about ds106?
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 […]

It’s been rewarding and nostalgic to see the wave of resurgence in the lead up to the ds106 open course that should lift off this week. It’s been fun […]
Cheddar cheese is yellow and melts nicely to make sandwiches. Bacon has the ability to arouse the dead with its delicious smell and to drive Canadians bonkers. Desire is stacked in favor of the bacon, except– They’re under pressure from health nuts, vegans and pig lovers to eat soy food product. It takes guts to […]
