    I See if From a Different Angle

    by

    I’m going to have a hard time disproving Ebert here so I won’t even try.  I think the notion of that moving right is forward and favorable and left is in the past and less so is true in almost everything we do. A clock rotates to the right and …

    by

    This assignment was to create a kids computer book from a well known kids book. I chose Are you my mother? by Dr Seuss.

    What does the font say?

    by

    What is a story? How do you tell it in a logical, compelling way? What are the different components of it? How can audio and video add (or subtract from it)? These were all questions that I started to ponder when I joined DS106. I felt like I had …
