    Doesn’t it just suck when technology doesn’t work — particularly when it’s the Web site for your online class the night that all your work is due? Luckily, you have an awesome instructor who will just give you a couple days of extension, right? WRONG! If you’re waiting until the last minute to do your work […]

    It’s hard to believe that Camp Magic MacGuffin finished weeks ago, and in another five days (yikes!), a new session of ds106 starts up here at UMW. Alan and I ended up really tearing our hair out for the first few weeks of CMM trying to get everyone signed up with their blogs in FeedWordPress […]

    February 20, 2012
    I don’t know about the accusation that DS106 is ‘over-branded.’ I think it’s far more accurate to acknowledge that it is a definitely a cult. To that end, I reworked this TIME magazine cover. (Next up: I want to figure out how to animate those tentacles.)

    I’m spending this weekend all alone, and taking advantage of the peace and quiet to explore some new #ds106 assignments. Here’s my fantasy TED talk: I can’t explain it, but I went through a period in my mid-20′s when I was totally addicted to the Teletubbies. I found the show fascinating — and watching it […]

    It occurred to me that Jim Groom, given his altered state, may not have given the class some examples of radio shows that have been done already in what was once simply #ds106. Therefore I have taken it upon myself, as a good professor, to provide you with some solid examples of both radio shows […]
