I completed this assignment in audacity and uploaded to soundcloud when I noticed that we were supposed to send it do YouTube. Here is my soundcloud.
The Bunkhouse One group for Camp Magic MacGuffin is looking to establish an identity through a name and group logo. Welcome to the Monkey House is a collection of short stories by Kurt Vonnegut, first published in 1968. Maybe we … Continue reading →
The video of Michael Wesch’s presentation was extremely insightful and relative to me. I loved it and really got sucked into what he was talking about. His passion and belief in his approach shows very strongly. Dr. Wesch really got … Continue reading →
Dear anyone, I joined DS106 formally this summer with some reservations about my ability to participate fully, but I have some distinct goals of my own that I’ll aim for through this experience: Experience an open course from the student perspective Discover new ways to engage and interact with total strangers in learning scenarios Organize ...
Getting in the spirit of camp has not been hard. I’ve loved watching my fellow campers get into the Daily Creates and other various assignments. One problem I have run into is that of identity. I have so many blogs, social media sites, and spaces that are mine that it is hard to find a … Continue reading "Identity At Camp Magic MacGuffin"
Today’s Daily Create 143: Look up today and make a photo that favors what’s going on in the sky.
Taken outside the clinic where I work. Mostly cloudy and overcast day but, the sun was trying to shine through.

Dear parents, I know that you think you were punishing me by sending me away to Camp Macguffin. Not! Your plan has failed. I am having a blast and I have met many new people who — guess what — think just like me. I am discovering that being creative is a bonus and not […]
Dear Kitty, It has been a great week at camp! Glad you have been patient with me while I work on all my new things for camp instead of playing with you. Perhaps I’ll craft you a new cat toy for all your patience. This has been a banner week for my creativity and I … Continue reading "Creativity Abounds: First Letter Home"

I recorded this just before hitting the bunk bed in my cabin at Camp Magic MacGuffin, a family legend about my dad. I saw him pick up a handful of dirt and crush it into a rock. I have the … Continue reading →
Given that my mine is currently overrun with a variety of creatures and is imperfectly defended, I have been working on the higher reaches of the space, having protected myself by breaking the access via the construction bridge from below. … Continue reading →
This is what I see on my keyboard while listening to #ds106radio from work. Tripper Harrison is spinning some lovely today through the Magic Macguffin PA system.
This post is about living an integrated life, confident that my ideas and interests will loop around. I’m not sure I believe in nutrients. I’d love to say that I had some highbrow Pollan-esque justification for this, a rejection of overhyped pop nutrition science, but really I think it’s just cause I’m a curmudgeon. Nutrients? Micro-nutrient? Colloids? […]
Melissa has been making me reflect on the power of names, especially habitual names, to silently shape the world we make and live in. As a result, I stalled out on some random web-form at the “occupation” blank. Educator sounds daft. This month, I’m going with learner-in-residence which is equally daft, but as the double […]
I’m still not sure if it’s a great class, but it’s certainly a standout hour of my day. Here’s today’s class compressed into about 2 minutes. Yes, I cheated and used audio to elicit an emotional response. I also captured spontaneous student emotion and cuteness. Projects being worked on in the video include: Sparkfun TriColor […]
Instructions: Record a video of yourself telling a joke. Don’t read it – tell it. Fortunately this joke arrived in my inbox two days ago courtesy of my mom. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had a joke to tell!
Buy some black rice because it’s as good for you as brown rice and higher in antioxidants. While making it for dinner, accidentally spill a few uncooked grains on the floor. Looks like rat turds. There will be panic! What … Continue reading →
