It would look like utter chaos to anyone looking in, which is good, cause it is. It […]
It seemed a little odd for week 3’s ds106 assignment to be about 50+ Web 2.0 Ways to tell a story, but there is no way I would just do just another Dominoe story. I was flailing around for an idea, and the story just happened while wandering about. Here is a Vuvox Collage story […]

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 […]
