Photos in the Future
If a picture is worth a thousand words a picture of a picture must be worth 1 million. This is such a strong yet simple image and the photographer has done an amazing job here and it really does tell a story. This post was entitled “Return to the scene of the crime” and was found on the ds106 IN[SPIRE] site. The original photo is of a young woman and what we can assume is her boyfriend sitting by a beautiful fountain outside a building. They are happy together and it seems to be a nice day. The photo is old as is evident by the wear around the edges of the photo which … Continue reading → -
Gathered Around the Fire…
… the crackle of the wood as the flames begin to consume the fresh cut oak longs thrown in the pit that cold night. The air is fresh with a slight nip to it, the sky is clear and the moon lays down a silver light all around. We sit on rocks and fallen trees placed around the stone circle entrapping the dancing flames within, gathered close to the radiating heat they create. An older gentleman begins to speak with a strong rhythmic tone which entrances all those who have gathered. His words fill the night with images of adventure and heroism, treasures and battle, humor and horror. He claims them … Continue reading → -
Graduating Bootcamp
This week in DS106 we got a little more intense and turned up the heat for the final stretch of bootcamp. The daily creates for this week, which if you would like to view them as well as my thoughts behind them check out my post Weekly Creations, were quite fun to do and I always look forward to seeing what new ideas to explore for each day. I have fallen in love with my new photoshop program Picasa, which for free software is really cool and easy to use, and have pretty much been playing around with all the crazy features I can do so sorry if I start putting out overly … Continue reading → -
All Rights Reserved
I’ve never known much, or anything really, about Creative Commons (CC) but I started seeing it when using Flickr, YouTube and the like. I always assumed it was just some new or official copyright sign but I found out it is much more then that. I really liked the way Flickr explained it, they had a very easy to follow licensing system which made it so much clearer to me what CC was all about, sharing ideas with others. The keyword here is sharing, not selling. It is a way to really connect the web into a web of ideas like I talked about earlier in the semester with the Where Good Ideas … Continue reading → -
Woman In Black
The Woman in Black, the 2012 version not the 1980′s one, was probably the worst movie I have ever seen. I shouldn’t have expected anything else with the horrible commercials advertising it, though I couldn’t find the video of the one I always saw (the audience reaction one which was basically just short clips from the movie that told you nothing and long scenes of people screaming in a movie theater and interview of them saying how scary it was) though the trailers I could find actually made it seem like a really good and scary movie. The scares were tacky and cheap, mostly going for more of a startle than an … Continue reading → -

Weekly Creations
This week we had a busier daily create project with a total of 3 daily creates to choose from. there are some pretty interesting ideas that were offered this week. The First Daily Create I did on Monday was to take a picture of wide open spaces. I took this picture while visiting Wyoming and I believe this is The Great Tetons, if it’s not the mountains them self it’s in the same area, it was a pretty interesting picture because the bottom half of it got messed up some how and flipped positions… don’t ask me how this happened but I thought it was interesting. On Wednesday the project was … Continue reading → -
Origins of a Name
Starting up #ds106 with @cogdog hoping for a great semester — Hyrum Magnusson (@HumbleCleric) August 29, 2012 It was a pretty daunting first week, trying to set up a blog and make it unique and different. It seemed like this class was going to be a little too much at first due to the amount of stuff that was being thrown at us all at once, but then I realized that (which I really appreciated) this first 2 weeks are called Boot Camp and that name was not chosen because it sounded cool, it is called boot camp because it is intense to get you ready for the coming weeks … Continue reading → -
The Flames We Dance Around
This is a snapshot of a video I took of an old friend performing with her Fire Poi for today’s Daily Create. My camera wasn’t that good at the time so it’s pretty grainy but the video itself was actually pretty amazing. -

Little Red Heart
I was having trouble with the picture not uploading onto Flickr properly for the Daily Create. It’s my Niece sleeping with a blanket her mom made for her in black and white with one of the hearts still colored red. I basically played around with...
