- Back to Zero to Zillions via the Web Link Curiosity Trick I admit my weirdness. As a kid (and still one) I love math. I loved doing long division. I loved when my 10th grade whacky Chemistry teacher Bloom Friedmen taught us all about dimensional analysis for unit conversions all it is is multiplying stuff by one. There goes a tangent again. But math and this […]

- Silly Media Offered at 24th TCC Conference Teaser Session Yesterday I had the fun opportunity to talk about attributed and possibly [semi] serious use of the kinds of media people see/share all the time. This session was a free pre-conference teaser for the 24th annual Teaching, Colleges and Community (YCC) conference. That’s right, 24… and it’s still being organized by the very people who […]

- The #NetNarr Virtual Bus is Driven with the Hands Loose on the Wheel Here comes the excuse about not blogging… I’ve not written much here about the Networked Narratives course I am co-teaching with Mia Zamora at Kean University. That might be because each week’s announcement is a long post, plus there are weekly event pages to assemble, like for this month’s “virtual bus” tours, not to mentione […]

- A Case For Comments. Two Stories. (Yes, third blog post tonight). I must do it for torture, I have no idea why a few days ago I was reading another one of those Medium blarge pieces about “Top 10 Reasons I Write” or “8 Powerful Lessons for Writers” or whatever. This person was writing about daily writing, which I think is […]
- Links Across Time and Space. It’s Us. Besides frequent topics here of dogs, photos, and sometimes catfishing, I do like to share the wonders of the humble link, the thing that connects one idea to another. They might be deliberately places, but I find more interesting are the ones we make, ones not built into any designed system. Get ready for a […]
- Unlike Lightning, My Audrey Watters Photo Luck Strikes Twice Last month I wrote about some of the photos I have taken of friends, colleagues who honor me by using them as social media avatars. The crowning prize has been the one I took of Audrey Watters in 2013 at a small meeting of ed-tech folks at the University of Mary Washington. Audrey uses it […]

- 1901 Wow, I needed a does of ds106 creativity, so I set out tonight to do the very assignment I submitted, Return to the Silent Era: The dawn of cinema had no audio; silent movies created an atmosphere with music and the use of cue cards. Take a 3-5 minute trailer of a modern movie and […]
- Movie Making Link-o-Rama Below are some resources likely to me mentioned/shown in class tonight when we spend time reviewing (and doing) video. Classic and Modern audio/video from the Internet Archive It’s all free, and the collection is vast. Try browsing the collections or searching. Note that there may be some variety in the types of video formats available- […]

- Help! I’ve Fallen into an Internet Wormhole and I Cannot Get Out Actually I don’t want to… cc licensed ( BY NC ND ) flickr photo shared by Martin_Heigan I enjoy sitting back and seeing how one small comment, remark, phrase sends by down a google lined wormhole of information (or pseudo-information). It’s not even from one link to another, it branches so much I cannot even […]

- Aunt Martha I spoke to my Mom last night, one of our almost weekly phone calls. It was a bit ominous when she called me at 8:00am this morning… she shared the sad news that my Aunt Martha had passed away. She lived alone in Baltimore. Ten days ago, the people who clean her place found Martha […]
- On Video… and the box Bear with me on what my unravel as a long strand here, Im trying to weave into one a stream that’s been flowing all day. Never one to write in that organized a fashion, I see a path: celebration of some incredibly original, creative video forms- and I want more; reading something way out my […]

- Local Gems Still catching up with piles of unread RSS fed stories, reams of email, I am happily taking in a few new web things that have popped up around the Maricopa web neighborhood. Out at Paradise Valley Community College, they have set up a WordPress.com site for a book club – they are posting descriptions of […]
- Blog Trading From Clip To House Just when you think you have exhausted all the oddly strange things people have cooked up in a blog, comes along just one more. One Red Paper Clip is documenting the North American (?) Dream: My name is Kyle MacDonald. I started with one red paperclip on July 12th, 2005 and I am making a […]
- (Trying) Doing The Right Thing Interspersed among the many nice comments to my “By Maricopa / Hello NMC” post, was one comment that ended up addressing directly with the writer, rather than in the comment stream. Gemma had commented (likely via the first place to write) about her displeasure that I had used a screen shot and a link to […]
- How 2 Go Please, let’s take the high road, and ignore any literal, body action interpretations of this title. My pending transition from Maricopa to NMC is likely to occupy much of my blog space, considering this is a transition from my first “real” job to my second. Here is a very odd thing about Maricopa. People stay […]
- The Line flickr foto Fir and Snowavailable on my flickr I’ve just returned from a week’s hideaway at our cabin in Strawberry, AZ. I deliberately left the computers at home, and this was my longest offline experience in 5 or 6 years. The first few days were a bit shakey, and the sweats and convulsions were intense. […]
