I sure were excited ’bout leadin’ a new herd of ds106 calves from the Kansas State University ranch. Me ‘n Bill even planned stuff over beans and a fire and even ole Hatchet Jack was ready to become unfrozen to be doing a new round of DS106. And when I got word from the KSU […]
Yesterday I climbed high up a snowy mountain to seek out Ol Hatchet Jack (sadly lacking a Wikpedia entry), the frozen mountain man. Jack has not been heard from on over a year, but he’s still there. His rifle is gone, some other mountain man must have nabbed it, but he did have a new […]
Yep pardner, one more this here edit for a movee I made to promote the Online DS106 course I am teaching starting January 2016 at Kansas State University. Apparently my last version, featuring audio of me and my buddy Bill Genereux talking over a montage of 6-12 second clips of classic western films, generated a […]
For more of a lead up to a western flavored version of DS106 starting January 2016, I aimed for another video to solicit interest from KSU students, where I will be teaching it. Bill Genereux suggested doing a video that might be able to go on their local access TV. I had this idea to […]
A big hat tip to Mariana Funes for cleverly taking an idea for a DS106 Daily Create into the next level of interestingness. The one for TDC 1384 is called just “Removed”: US photographer Eric Pickersgill created “Removed” a series of powerful black and white photos. Inspired by this, your prompt for today comes from […]
This storytelling drive is going to happen. There is a roundup for January 2016, when me and some other riders are gathering to do a new round of The One The Only The Stomp Over MOOCs Open Course in Digital Storytelling, DS106. It’s been riding the open internet plains 5 years now. I’ve signed up […]
Howdy! There’s gonna be a ds106 full of western stories and movies that I will be teaching next Spring for Kansas State University. Bill Genereux has been a long time ds106 partner in teaching a Kansas State University course on digital storytelling that he has hitched his wagon to the DS106 horse. He offered me […]
When John Pederson (or “Balki Bartokomous”?) launches a softie like this https://twitter.com/ijohnpederson/status/646833331045163008 how can I resist the urge to remix? Not only are the reaction shots brilliant., but the whistler’s facial contortions are priceless. This was about 25 minutes of iMovie twiddling, it’s so easy a cat could do it I downloaded the Amazing Whistling […]
I do not even want to look to find out the last time I officially completed a ds106 assignment (probably last time I taught, Spring 2014). But I was so inspired by Bill Genereux’s new one, A Scene We Didn’t Get To See: Create a short video that shows a scene from your favorite TV […]
Twas not my plan to make a mocked up book cover, even before breakfast. But so it goes, when the urge worms its way into my cranium. I cannot let go til I try it out. I woke up to back scroll twitter, finding the eminently sarcastic, funny, insightful, and a large number of standard […]
