“The Freddy Affair,” by Andrew Forgrave, on Flickr Paul Bond (@phb256, on Twitter) posted a request earlier today for some #noir106 bumpers for ds106radio. After a bit of messing around, I decided that this particular project needed a new voice, and so the narration was re-recorded (and slightly modified). We always tend to be hyper-critical of our own recorded voices when we hear them. Anyway, I’m pleased with the result. The Audio The text evolved in conjunction with successive listens-and-speaks as I tried to match the narrative flow with the phrasing in the music. After a couple of recording efforts ...

“The ds106 GIFfer,” by aforgrave, on Flickr Submitted in response to the ds106 Design Assignment 950, “A Memorial For Fairuz’s PC.” I decided to create a generic tribute to all the great workhorse computers of all ds106 artists — at some point, some day, your trusty computer will say, “I am done,” and it too, will take its place, in the Smithsonianary Institute. In actuality, this image of The Unknown ds106 GIFfer, rubbing shoulders with UNIVAC, will stand in its place. This remarkable photograph of UNIVAC was taken by Trey Ratcliff (Stuck In Customs) and cc licensed ( BY NC ...

“Deleted Scene from “Reçette Pas Nécessaire” (print damaged during processing) by aforgrave, on Flickr A poorly developed film negative (see above) resulted in this scene being edited out of the final cut of the third film in Julia Child’s “Le Chef de la mort” action trilogy, “Reçette Pas Nécessaire.” You can get some sense of the original drama in this animated GIF assembled from two frames salvaged from the scene: “Deleted Scene from “Reçette Pas Nécessaire” (restored as animated GIF) by aforgrave, on Flickr As her fans know, Child was often heard exclaiming, “Why use just one knife, when a cleaver ...

“Since Inception” by aforgrave, on Flickr Are you listening? Well, ARE you listening? You better be! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DS106RADIO !!!! YOU ROCK !!! #ds106radio is celebrating its second birthday this weekend. Of course you’ve listened to the open, online, free-form internet radio offshoot of the University of Mary Washington’s Digital Storytelling course, DS106, RIGHT?? I’m sure that DS106Radio’s stickiness comes directly off of Grant Potter’s duct tape. The ds106 community embraces, encourages, supports, and requires the striving for creativity and expression. Happy Birthday, ds106radio! The image is captured from Christopher Nolan’s 2010 mind-bending film, Inception, from the scene were Cobb ...

A simple click on the ds106 Assignments randomizer link brought up Design Assignment 613: Tell a Tale on a Tapestry. Intrigued, and following the link to to Bildwirkerey von Bayeuxbe, I did, indeed, find the “Historic Tale Constrvction Cit”, a web-based app inspired by the Tapestry of Bayeux. Using the (javascript) web-app was simple enough, and resulted in this little story. Can you solve the simple mystery? There are three supporting clues. “The Hollow Forest” by aforgrave, on Flickr It was also fun to play around with language a bit in writing the text. Try the site yourself. Create your own story!
