Freedom From Fat Cats
This fat cat started like probably a lot of other fat cats, you find the cat find the painting or vice-a-versa. Well I found this fat cat all plump and orange and it reminded me of Norman Rockwell’s Thanksgiving Dinner, which is actually the “Freedom From Want” painting from the Four Freedom’s series. Replace that…

I’m Still Chewing on that Over-Branding of DS106 Comment
I’ve been thinking a lot about the over-branding conversation that Stephen Downes started on Alan Levine’s blog post I Want You to Make Art (Dammit). Downes did not like the use of ‘DS106’ in propaganda, and called it “over-branded.” After Alan tried to defend the work as students celebrating the class, Downes continued that it…

Groom QR Code
While doing a search for propaganda ideas, I found this site that celebrates all sorts of Star Wars fan art. There’s probably a few dozen pieces to inspire new ds106 assignments. One in particular caught my eye, as ready for some ds106 riffing, Darth Vader QR Code. It was apparently created by a Greek graphic…

A purely unapologetic piece of DS106 branding
Cogdog’s DS106 propaganda post was taken to task by Stephen Downes for “over-branding” ds106. Is the DS106 to much hype? Not real enough? Adrift in a cult of personality? F****THAT #4LIFE. As Martha mentioned in her comment on Cogdog’s post, there’s nothing but love out there in ds106. No hating on someone for not being…

I Can Read Breaking Away
For the I Can Read Movies DS106 Design assignment, I created a cover for one of my all time favorite films, Breaking Away. If you haven’t seen the film it’s the story of four friends after high school that grew up in a college town, not feeling they were ever to go themselves. Their families…

CUNY Week 3 -Web 2.0 is an attitude not a technology.
Remix RSS from cc licensed ( BY NC SD ) flickr photo shared by eBlog The name of this post is a quote from Ian Davis one of the co-authors of RSS 1.0, which I think is a great way to kick off thoughts for Week 3 and Web 2.0. RSS is one of the web’s…

Happy Valentine’s Day from Nurse Ratched and McMurphy
The Cuckoo would have come home to roost if things were just a little different at the mental institution. You can thank Usher’s “Twork it Out” for bringing this wayward couple together. It was touch and go for a long time, but we all knew that this is how the story should have really turned…
