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…

All I Need Is a Tasty Ethos
I think I get what Jim’s going after with this new animated GIF assignment, At Least It’s an Ethos. At first I thought I should just discover a well articulated life philosophy and Spicolli’s renouncing the material life is well, perfect. But then there was the thing about attaching an -ism to this ethos. So I…

Tector Gorch, Scorches on the Gatlin Gun
Tector Gorch is one of Syke’s gang members from The Wild Bunch. He took his turn on the gun in the final shootout with the Mapache and Federales with particular relish. He and his brother Lyle both are shot repeatedly as they took turns on the Gatlin Gun. This little fourteen frame GIF was made using the animation…

Uncontrollable Urge to GIF

And…

OOOOO…That’s Going To Be A Deduction
I love that Jim Groom pulled out the 8-bit game GIF assignment with the animate 2600. His 8-bit noir is sheer genius finding the connection between these minimalist games and the filmmaking that likely inspired them. The inspiration for this moment in C64’s Winter Games is a bit less subtle.

Wocka Wocka Wocka!
I’ve always connected with Fozzie the Bear. When he tries to be funny, he fails miserably. And when he’s just himself he’s hilarious. Fozzie basically performs best when he’s not performing. Like Fozzie I’m guilty of trying too hard, unsure of what others find funny or interesting. I love Fozzie’s courage (ignorance?), he’s bombing…

Day of the MOOC now Animated!
Some MOOCs are wicked scary, but even more horrifying when turned into an animated movie poster. This is a Riff a GIF of David Kernohan’s Day of the MOOC poster for the Horror of the MOOCs assignment. Remixing other people’s work in ds106 is one of the best things to do to show your love.

DS106 STRATEGY
After having created a few GIF assignments to help seed the DS106 GIFfest which officially started today, I needed to get a submission done! Andrew Forgrave’s GIF the DS106 came to mind with my third semester of teaching DS106 ending tomorrow. It’s hard to believe how many York College students have been working through the ds106 assignment bin creating so…
