This is my (belated) write-up for weeks 7-8: recording and editing a radio show.
I was a member of Talky Tina’s Team. You can listen to our show, ‘DS106: Shrinking the big questions’ – and the excellent shows of our classmates – on the DS106 blog.
Working on my …
I’m writing this halfway into week 7, on a train heading north. (But posting this two days later, when I finally have Wifi access again – hurray!)
I am going to get the guilt out of the way now:
I didn’t get as much done as I wanted to because …
My six-word memoir. Slightly tongue in cheek, but I do like my tea.
Here’s how I created it:
I took a photo of my nice evening cuppa (decaf Yorkshire tea) on my phone camera and uploaded it to Dropbox. I cropped the image in Windows Live Photo Gallery…
(Yes, I actually decided that was a decent blog post title).
This evening I’ve been having a bit of a readathon – looking at the week 6 design assignments, some examples of what other people have created, and reading/watching some of the design resources being shared on the main DS106 …
Alas, I skipped week 4 (audio fun times) entirely due to work and my family visiting, and week 5 (photography) has so far been hampered by me contracting what feels like the plague, but what is really just a bad cold that I’ve not been coping so well with. (Unfortunately, …
ds106photoblitz, a set on Flickr.
These are the edited highlights from my photoblitz: 20 minutes taking snaps around my flat, using John Johnston’s handy Photoblitzer tool to spark some ideas.
These photos are my depiction of the following.
The passage of time (ok, a slightly obvious one… but I…
… and a little more action please. (A memo to myself for weeks 4 and 5!).
I was travelling a fair bit during week 3, and spent some time at home where I tend to switch off my brain and my wifi-enabled gadgets – so I didn’t throw myself into …

As part of the second week of ds106 bootcamp, we were asked to consider Gardner Campbell’s thoughts about the personal cyberinfrastructure. Dutifully, I went ahead and did just that (you don’t disobey a direct order at bootcamp).
The digital facelift
It was a mere “digital facelift” — Clay Shirky’s …
Hurray! I’ve survived weeks 1 and 2 of ds106 bootcamp.
Before I start berating myself for all the things I didn’t get round to doing, here’s what I did do:
I set up my first ever WordPress blog, and actually blogged on it. I’ve also been tinkering with the…
Ok, so I’ve done two daily creates now! I’ll give myself a pat on the back for that.
I’m not sure I’m ever going to be a GIF Guru or PhotoShop Pro, and I’m fast beginning to realise that my trusty …
A few months back, I decided to join this year’s #ds106 class after hearing about it on the UK higher education blogosphere, which has been awash with Mooc Mania for a fair while now.
