We’ll Keep Building At York College
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
When I started at York College eleven years ago supporting the edtech department (aside – holy crap this is the longest job I’ve ever held), I was given the opportunity to look at a proposal for a communications technology major that had been dormant since 1991. At first I was, “huh what’s communications technology, it’s new media man,” but new media became not-so-new-media. Communications technology, commtech,CT, has stuck. And I think for the better. We’re about to embark on a transformation of the major that will be the largest since its official start in 2003. It’s a crazy, laborious process ...
Bortusk Leer Blue Monster Says Hi
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
I discovered Bortusk Leer with my son two years ago in an area of Dumbo that is very popular with street artists. The old shipping warehouse on Water St. has had scaffolding for years (at least all the time I’ve seen it), which has provided an environment for lots of great graffiti. I took a bunch of photos that day and posted them on Flickr. And a week later my son and I did some Leer inspired chalking on our sidewalk in Brooklyn. So when I saw the GIF-fiti assignment created by Paul Bond and the utterly amazing animations of Banksy’s ...
Reorienting My Compass, North by Northwest?
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
It’s been over a year since I first discovered ds106 and it’s amazing to me how much creative energy I’ve discovered since then – I’ve made more work in the past year than I have in the previous ten, seriously. Ok this isn’t exactly true, I’ve made many things over the past decade, but they’ve principally been of the industrial sort – client work mostly. There’s a lot I’m proud of, particularly media materials for my wife’s non-profit Row New York (videos like Monique and Because I Row (with Daniel Phelps) as well as photography and design). But in the ...

The Fault in our Stars
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
The Fault in our Stars is one of my favorite books. It’s a novel by John Green, who also wrote one of my other favorites, Looking for Alaska. The title comes from a shakespeare quote. “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings.” This book serves to contradict this by showing that many faults do lie within “our rotten lots in life” (a quote from Green’s first book). It is the story of a girl named Hazel who has terminal cancer. I don’t want to give away too much about the book for those who ...
