This Way! Wait no that way.
There is a new profession of trail blazers, those who find delight in the task of establishing useful trails through the enormous mass of the common record. Vannevar Bush in 1945 basically imagined both the personal computer and the internet in his memorex device. But what was also prescient is how he imagined that there would be people that…

When my mind drifts – I feel
When I think about my wife and children I feel warmth, attachment, satisfaction. When I think about my email inbox I feel overwhelmed – always. When I think about impressive works of writing, art, film, I have feelings of admiration, at other times envy, and the best feeling is that of inspiration. These are all…

If You Understand Me, Just Grunt
Another GIF Fight has brought again a bunch of imaginative work created by the original Giffighters and lots of new faces mostly from the ds106 community. I still need to do a proper blog post about GIFFight, but you can read about the origin of the project on Giphy. For now I just wanted to…

Freedom River
They knew that the power of freedom would renew their hope and replenish their energy. They did not know that too much pride could blind them.

(s)Tumbled Onto My Hitchcock Posters
Yesterday I was scrolling through my Tumblr feed and suddenly saw my animated Rear Window movie poster as part of a collection of animated GIF movie posters posted by The Creators Project.

Seeing Squares

It was actually quite lucky that I saw this piece in my Tumblr feed which is filled with visual interestingness. But the post found it’s way to…

16th Century Nyan Rocket Cat
Early this morning I was so very lucky to see this tweet from Gardner Campbell (he has a habit of tweeting out interesting internet tidbits in the AM): "Scholars & journalists live on the Internet like everybody else, & sometimes a small spark can ignite larger fires." http://t.co/4fODFHiEnB — Gardner Campbell (@GardnerCampbell) March 12, 2014…

Hey DS106Radio, Just Because…
Honestly this is more of a technical post in terms of graphic design, but it focuses on my love of ds106radio. So there’s that. Andrew Allingham made this wonderful design for ds106radio in its 2011 infancy, and it has sustained. There have been other admirable attempts to create art for ds106radio. But Andrew’s vision continues…

Reposted: CUNY Is You, Me, Everybody
I wrote this a couple months back for the CUNY Academic Commons blog Ground Control as a project team member contribution. It was published last Friday, and wanted to republish it on my personal blog because I love the Commons, CUNY, and the Blues Brothers so much! Jake and Elwood, brothers not by blood but…

Can’t Take Down the Reclaim Hosting Kong
I know this is an August 2013 ds106 challenge for IamTalkyTina, but I have Reclaim Hosting on the mind, so I thought I’d use this Dancing Jim Groom GIF to talk about that. And ds106 has a lot to do with the work that Tim Owens and Jim Groom are doing to extend the model of getting…
