Week 2 is in the past. It’s now been a fortnight. What did I learn, you may ask? Or you may not. Either way, keep reading to find out. Well, GIFfing ain’t easy to do as I blindly stumbled through figuring out GIMP and other GIF making things. But the results are fun so I’ll try … Continue reading Week 2 Roundup →

First ever GIF here for Western106 assignment and I went ultra complex using two whole images making the results worth two thousand words. Although lots of those words are the same so if you cross reference, eliminate remainders and carry the zero, it’s worth about 1150. I fear I did not quite capture the essence of this … Continue reading Say it Like The Peanut Butter →

Daily create is to tweet some kindness to someone you don’t know. No simpler kindness than to say thanks. So I’d like to say thanks to some Newcomers to Canada for reminding us that the cold, white stuff bombarding us at this time of year in Canada actually has some simple, fun applications. Look at … Continue reading Western Kindness →

Just catching up on weaving my web… Yesterday’s daily create was to depict this here life pro tip visually: Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear, or a fool from either side. That puts Mitch (a noted fool), this bull and this horse in a real sticky situation. too many words? @ds106dc … Continue reading Approaching things →

Today, the daily create is to paint a cow. I for one chose not to paint, but instead to spin around 453 times under the instruction of my two year old daughter and see what a cow looks like then. The result is above. This method causes no trauma to or paint on the cow. … Continue reading Have a Cow, Man →

Full Disclosure: As an Open Participant with full-time work and a lovin’ family, I ain’t got a lot of time to ruminate on this here course. So what I got to give (and get), I got to give and get it quick. Enjoy it, but quick. Today I watched the lecture and read the article about our … Continue reading The Lonesome, Crowded CyberInfrastructure →

A new verse of Home on the Range, for Daily Create #TDC1471 in honour of my furnace. Home, home heat exchange Not working, no heating today; Today often is heard a discouraging word Through three sets of chattering teeth. Where the air is so cold, cuz it’s from outside, The windchill so %$^&* unkind, Yes … Continue reading Daily Create: Home on the Range →

Gather round the campfire while I weave you a tale. A tale about what I have done to contribute to #Western106 in its first week. A tale that will be known in legend as ‘Some things that happened’. If you’re reading this, you are part of that legend. You read about these things that happened and … Continue reading Week One Roundup →

The term ‘Western’ draws to my mind dusty, sandy land with craggy mesas in the back ground. Small towns in the middle of nowhere thrown together in no time at all. Men usually look dirty and smelly. Women often wear outfits so complex you’d think they would get in it just the one time and stay … Continue reading Where is the West? →
