Not all GIFs are created equal. Some just need a little help. I haven’t posted more than once in a day in a while, but I’m really excited about my little interactive images kick from earlier. I got links to work on top of an animated GIFs. After cracking my knuckles, I decided to see […]

It was one of those days, and I couldn’t pass this one up. The Headless ds106 is in full swing, and this week is Design Week. I love design work because it makes me think hard about how to communicate ideas both subtly and artfully. You can see some of my design work from the […]

This summer, I survived the ds106zone. There was a creative blitz that I’ve been wanting to carry through the fall. But life (literally) has come into my life, and I haven’t been able to carry the momentum. Right now, the ds106 community is tracking through a self-inflicted “headless” course. No professor, no grades, no expectations. […]

My computer is getting pretty full of photos. I’ve been taking more, but it is also housing nearly every photo taken since my wedding in 2009. I know that is chump change to a lot of people, but it’s been bugging me. I was going back through some of my kitchen remodel photos from earlier […]

Leading up to the headless ds106 planned for this fall, it’s an August GIF-a-thon. I managed to find some time tonight to get one finished and uploaded. What you see below is a reconstruction of what really happened. We were able to get to the doctor in time to reduce the chance of major scarring. […]

Two or three weeks ago, I was home alone, tasked with priming the new drywall in my kitchen. I decided to geek it up a little bit and film the entire process so I could come back and time lapse the work. I tried using a couple different time lapse apps, but I didn’t really […]

My schedule has been picking up like crazy, and I’m afraid this may be my last ds106 post for the summer semester. Maybe I can get one or two more assignments in, but I don’t think it’s going to happen. That being said, it’s time to clear the air. I know Alan posted that he […]

Short post this morning, but last night on my way home from work, I did a short drive-by reflection. I was thinking about connections and how those impact those around us. It’s in two segments, but edited into one file. The only major editing I did was to compress the files so the sound didn’t […]

I’m working on a super-secret project right now (more to come this summer…bear with me) which will require me to record interviews via Google Hangout. Now, I know I’ve written before about how to screencast on a Chromebook using Google+, but the quality of those recordings, in particular the audio, can leave something to be […]

I was able to squeak out another audio assignment today for the zone. While it isn’t Twilight Zone based, sometimes reading Craigslist can feel like its own alternate universe. I chose to beat Craigslist because…well, because finding a ridiculous post was pretty fun. I made sure to stick local, so I humbly submit the following […]

…there’s no escape. I wanted to catch up on assignments for the ds106zone, so I hopped in on this week’s audio work. An easy one to get in was create a radio bumper for the ds106radio channel using a short clip from The Twilight Zone. I deviated a little from this week’s episodes by watching […]

The post Once You’re In… appeared first on Educator, Learner.

I posted earlier that I’d been having a hard time working with the assigned episodes this week. When I got home, I decided to watch a different episode and see what would happen. I turned on Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up? from season two of The Twilight Zone. I hadn’t ever seen this […]

The post Are There Martians in the House? appeared first on Educator, Learner.

Man, this has been a long week. Aside from the remodel I began on my house, we had family visiting and a sick wife to boot. So, my ds106 work had come to a relative halt. I worked on some here and there, but couldn’t really sit down and put in some time. I decided […]
