Hard Boiled #3 – Animated Comic Cover
Ever since Jim Groom pointed to the amazing animated comic covers created by Kerry Callen, I’ve been jonsing to make one. I loved the simplicity of the animation in each of the four GIFs he created, particularly the Spiderman and Ironman GIFs which each clock in at only three frames each. There is so much time and…

She’s a Witch!
I’ve seen a few of Alan’s Words with No English Translation ds106 posts and decided to jump in the “lost in translation” fun. I drew the random word, “Biritululo.” Which apparently best translates as, “What do you normally do when you have a dispute? Do you talk things over? Go to court? Well, in New Guinea, to settle…

The End of the Journey to the Center of the Internet
[youtube width=”580″ height=”470″]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Yrway2OCEw[/youtube] Fellow friends of ds106, I am lucky to be alive. It’s been two weeks since being attacked by Prof. Oliver during the taping of my final reflection on teaching ds106 this semester.

Seeing Jim Groom’s minimalist movie poster for the The Thing finally get some love from Web Urbanist inspired me to finally take a stab at this assignment. I actually don’t need a lot of prodding to make a piece of design (especially for ds106). My poster is for the John Boorman classic “Deliverance” starring Jon Voight.…

Mr. Groom Goes to Washington
I finally got to do some Photoshop kung-fu to encourage Jim Groom to commit to his personal call to action made during the “No SOPA For You” broadcast a couple of weeks ago. Jim described that he’s leaving ed tech to go fight corruption in Washingtion. I think Andy Rush and Tim Owens must of…

Final Projects – Every DS106 Student Has a Story…Just Tell It.
I’ve been watching some classic Wile E Coyote shows recently and have been thinking about why the coyote’s efforts to catch the roadrunner makes for a good student learning model. Why would a coyote that regularly blows himself up and/or falls off of cliffs make for a good role model for ds106 students? The coyote…
