    Myst, Marathon, and Minecraft

    by
    I’ve deeply enjoyed three computer games over the years. Myst The ground-breaking Myst, developed by Cyan and first released in 1993, was built initially in the Apple’s Hypercard development platform, and lead the pack for a close to a decade as the number one computer game. Unlike a lot of other games of the time, Myst was […]

    The Thin Line Between Heaven and Here

    by
    Bubbles is attributed the epigraph “[There is a] … thin line between heaven and here” in Old Cases, Season 1, Episode 4 of HBO‘s The Wire. He delivers the line at about the midpoint of the episode, and the line came just at the right moment to punctuate what I perceived as the first whack-me-over-the-head, […]

    all in the game

    by
    My last couple of posts have been about using and setting up videogrep.py. Videogrep is a python script that searches through dialog in videos and then cuts together a new video based on what it finds. Basically, it’s a command-line “supercut” generator. I’ve been thinking about how to use it, especially since Jim Groom gave […]

    So let’s Compare and Contrast

    So here's the thing. This appeared on my Facebook feed today. A Grade 6 Washington D.C. teacher assigned her class a compare and contrast assignment and there has been major back lash because she was using a Scholastic text about Hitler and WWII to con...

    and all the pieces matter

    by
    This is a quick intro to installing videogrep.py a tool for making supercut movies. Written in haste, consider it a rough draft. Videogrep is a python program run from the command line. This is quite different from using applications with a GUI. I am hoping to write up a few different tools I use for […]

    a little slow, a little late

    by
    You cannot lose if you do not play. My first post here since April! I missed the whole of the burgeon experience and have done only a handful of daily creates. I am not saying sorry, I have made a few artefacts and experimented with some stuff that is pretty #ds106. There is no really […]

    Coming Soon the Open and Connected Learning Mooc

    by

    In just over three weeks The Open and Connected Learning Mooc (#OCLMooc) starts. Our goal is to share information, resources and best practices about connected learning and open education, while connecting Alberta educators with each other, and learners from around the globe. For me the most important part is connecting Alberta educators. When I was […]

    So, I recently found out about the Comic Alliance and started following them on Twitter. On their site I found a comic by Andrew MacLean that seems interesting and I was drawn to the style of the illustrations. I wanted to remember the publication date for the future, so sent the link to Pocket for never finding again.

    On a separate event it is Giulia’s birthday and she wants to keep it quiet. 

    Well, this oddly configured mind’  (best description ever, thanks Sandy!) put these two things together and did a quick creative edit for Giulia.

    Happy birthday Mighty Doodler, you will be remembered ‘til the end of time!

    A Fortune Telling Noir Poster

    So, Jim talked about the patent pending assignment on his blog. A post on #wire106 the run of #ds106 now at a terminal near you: http://bavatuesdays.com/the-pager-technology-surveillance-and-paranoia/ I went to Tom’s Blog: http://bionicteaching.com/patents-pending/ and he had pretty detailed details on how to do it! Loved it. (This post from sucky iPad so own details will come later)

    Wired for Character

    by
    creative commons licensed ( BY-NC-SA ) flickr photo shared by Johnson Cameraface What happens when ds106 takes on a theme and subject of the TV series The Wire? That unfolds next week when the class starts at UMW. Do you feel me? (that’s a line from the show, ok?) Jim and Paul have been ripping through reviews of the first six episodes. I’m expect to float in and out, as one does as an open participant, and have watched the first two again. There’s a bit of affinity since I am from Baltimore, though not the areas where the show takes place. My first interest in the show was piqued at the 2008 South by Southwest conference in a keynote session where Henry Jenkins and Steven L Johnson discussed the increasing complexity of TV narratives, comparing old school simple sitcoms that I grew up on with newer (then) shows such […]
