I think it was Mariana Funes that share what I think is one of the best GIF’s I’ve seen pic.twitter.com/S9wtnaYs8M — Amy Hoy (@amyhoy) March 10, 2016 There is so much to like about this play on the final shoot out scene from The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly– the unexpected insert of the […]
Here, to demonstrate some tricks and insights into making animated GIFs, I shall reveal my cultural antiquity with a reference to the Arnold Horshack enthusiastic hand raise from the TV show Welcome Back Kotter (while cheesy at least for that era, a positive image about school?) I was recently asked by a colleague if I […]
At my November checkup my doctor did the same routines he has done 4 times a year for the last 5 years I’ve visited, but this time he came up with something new. “I hear a heart murmur.” Murmur? Is that like a heart having a speech impediment? I recalled listening to my Dr’s explanations […]
Internet, you so fickle. Without much thought, you ca share something frivolous and people are all over it. You’re on fire. You get an idea in your head you think will get spread, and it falls like a lead rock on Jupiter. I’ve only marginally followed the story, but seeing Brett Gaylor’s tweet Robot hitch […]
Well, you might only be able to go back to 2007. And Google Streetview often does not provide too many exit doors. But this seemed like a cool discovery, simply at random. Last weekend I was driving north from home on highway 87, and coming down the hill from the top of the Rim was […]
Do you get to do that in your fancy MOOC? What more do you need to know to be part of ds106? And the beauty is, you can start this creative experience at any time. You are never behind, or missing out on some quiz to get some chips. I digress. I thought this photo […]
As I was mucking about the yard yesterday, I noticed this brightly colored caterpillar trying to climb the wall at the base of my house: cc licensed ( BY SA ) flickr photo shared by Alan Levine After spooking him/her with the camera click, I took a series of shots as it walked along the […]
Before I took on some coding projects today I was compelled to GIF. I hope someone other than me can explain it to Sandy Jensen Brown (you get a daily create chance for that on August 21). As often, I was motivated by Michael Bransom Smith’s response to something called GIFfight Dark Side Around the […]
Maybe it’s the impeding headless ds106 course coming next month, or maybe it’s just the phases of the moon, but I felt the rekindled urge to experimenting once again with making animated GIFs from a sequence of still photos. This happens in two ways: (1) I anticipate an action sequence, and deliberately take a series […]
Something to unclog the CogDogBlog Blog Clog… both of these were made on the long trip back from Hong Kong. I wish I had talked more to the guy who makes the naan at United World College East Campus in Singapore, or at least, gotten his name. Every day, blissfully, he whipped together these luscious […]
