For no real or sane reason, was moved to do a cover version of Donovan’s Season of the Witch in my own variation as homage to DS106, which like a witch, cannot be killed.

I play it differently than the original that’s what makes a cover version and not …

It’s been a while since I blogged a breakdown on the making of a DS106 Daily Create. I was lagging a bit on energy this afternoon, and that’s when I see if I can publish a Daily Create response in less than an hour.

TDC2027 was a fun one:

#tdc2027 …

Just for the heck of it, a revival from the summer of 2013… It’s time to get in shape.

Sergeant Hulka is here to say more…

(ignore the date and old URL at the end, see below)

We give you a ds106 daily create summer creative challenge– because your …

While the Networked Narratives course I am co-teaching with Mia Zamora is not a ds106 iteration, it’s definitely in the family.

Students and open participants are participating in their own blog space, we are syndicating posts into the course site, and there is also a daily create like …

Nothing has been more essential and affirming and still fueling my every day work than being part of DS106. I’ve not taught a class since 2014 yet I still spend time queueing up Daily Creates and even yesterday cooking up a web form to collect new art for the …

I have increasing respect for historians who try to decipher events from hundreds of years ago. They have shreds to work with. What I am writing about is from only five years ago. I was part of it. I have my story of what happened. But still, it’s not always …

As I am writing this I am also listening to an episode of the DS106 Good Spell, a radio show only available on DS106 Radio hosted by John Johnston and Mariana Funes.

The series has been running for 3 years, where they discuss 106 “bullet points” about DS106 based …

Like a small stubborn, unique, old fashioned house surrounded by modern monolithic mega modern glass and steel structures, the Domain of Ones Own project started at the University of Mary Washington stands out as one hope amongst Educational Technology’s adoration of mega scale, management, analytics, automation, and tall tall towers …

When I followed the link from this tweet from Alec Corous Dr. Alec Couros

I knew I had to make it into a DS106 Daily Create. Sure it was from 2008, and I am …

I don;t have much time or energy to do a big writeup, but seeing a DS106 Daily Create on remixing book covers, is hard to pass (well I knew about it since I put in the site, but that was a while again).

I just scrolled through a long …

It all started with a tweet from someone I don’t know. Today’s DS106 Daily Create was about showing how “massive” it is:

And I smiled seeing how @g1000p, a twitter …

While #western106 has long ridden off the horizon (or sunk into the desert sand), I had a movie left to finish watching.

For longer than I can remember, I’ve loved Little Big Man for a number of things, but on so many levels its a Western that does not exactly …

This kind of small act of near random #ds106 connection will not increase enrollments, will not “fix” education, will not improve institutional metrics… yet I just cannot let it slip by without a small “wow”.

And the ironic thing is that the tweet in which I saw it came into …

Once a media idea worms into my head, it’s gotta play out before I can do other things. So it was this morning, leading to this:

Jim Groom has been running fun and wild with the record store metaphor for Reclaim Hosting, fueled by the recognizable style of Bryan …

Like many folks, I was interested in comic guru Nick Sousanis’s call for participation in a week of Grids and Gestures

Quickly, have a look at your ceiling tiles or other grid-ish things around you. If you then imagine putting these features to music, you might have regular long notes …

Like a classic MOOC dropout artist, I’ve fallen so far off of my #western106 horse I can’t even see the dust any more.

I had grand hopes of running a DS106 in a genre of Western films/stories. I was doing trailers back in October for a planned online class to …

Darn you Daily Create sending me down a creative rabbits hole.

Thanks.

And I’m responsible for today’s challenge

I look for patterns in numbers, and …

Long ago, long before the web, as a Geology student, I was on a trip to Los Angeles. On the return drive along I-10 I saw this billboard that read:

Barry’s Bail Bonds: We’ll get You Out… Even if it Takes Us 20 Years!

Why does this memory stay in …

When I hear folks in my stream sharing stuff for Open Education Week, my inner cynic wonders what they do the rest of the year. Or speculate a world where we do not have to draw attention in this way to Openness.

I get it. The whole idea is …

I think it was Mariana Funes that share what I think is one of the best GIF’s I’ve seen

There is so much to like about this play on the final shoot out scene from The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly…

It’s quite possible I finished four books this month; two may have been started in January, but four in a month is a recent record for me in finishing.

Both of these books I bought as part of my interest in westerns and #western106. While both are in the …

A few weeks ago I got an email from Justin Reich asking if I wanted to run a workshop on connected courses with him at DML 2016. Heck yeah! I’m a big follower of his work, and it was Justin who got me on board doing an aggregation hub a …
