Ah, the Multi-Frame GIF Story assignment, Animated GIF Assignment 880. Gotta love it. If you’ve never encountered Reboot (the first full-length, completely computer-animated TV series) then you’ll need a bit of background to fully appreciate this post and the Reboot Season 3 episode, “Number 7″, which references The Prisoner. Reboot was ground-breaking back in the mid 90s as personal computers, modems, and the Internet started to take off. You likely know the early animation work of show creators Ian Pearson and Gavin Blair from the 1986 MTV Video-of-the-Year by Dire Straits, Money for Nothing. I enjoyed the show during its first run on the Canadian ...
Design Assignment #2: Carmel Chameleon and Baboon
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
When I first heard the Culture Club’s “Karma Chameleon,” I thought the song title was “Carmel Chameleon. “ Because it contained my first name, I instantly liked the song. Later, when I realized the actual title, I still appreciated the song because I think chameleons are cool animals. So, when I saw the snaps I took of a chameleon in Zimbabwe (while doing a photo safari among my travel photos for the first design assignment), I knew I had to use that photo for my second design assignment submission: Paste Someone’s Head On An Animal Or Vice-Versa. In November 2011, ...

It is only those who do nothing who makes no mistake. ? Pyotr Kropotkin, Anarchism: A Collection of Revolutionary Writings This daily create started out with the memory of the common Anarchy graffiti, with the A is a circle. Anarchy by Jonas B I presume that I must have had the definition in the back of my mind. I thought I’d plant a giant A over the Wikipedia screenshot. On my iPad I took a screenshot and opened in in brushes. At that point I though it might be nicer to use a relevant quotation and of course though of: ...
ds106rad.io ‘Your NEW Old Radio Friend’ Animated GIF
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
This animated GIF update to Andrew Allingham‘s original logo seemed just another example of one of those thing that just suddenly jumped out as needing to be GIFfed, by hopefully paying homage to the original, and promoting the slight change to the new. Things will be the same, but updated. And I’m so happy that the GIFfing process was so much easier to do now, than it would have been at the initial outset of GIFestivus2012. Thanks to ds106 for the continuing motivation and support, and for the great radio tunes and fantastic community along the way. Learning is happening ...
You’ve Come A Long Way, GIFby

Watch your step on the sidewalk of yesteryear’s Information Highway I’m 99.9% convinced that the first time I saw and recognized and animated gif for what it was, it was something very much like one of these: Maybe you have similar memories? (Hopefully they are not PTSD-induced flashbacks!) Clearly the image of website construction was influenced by the metaphor of building the Information Highway at the time. 2012 celebrated the 25th anniversary of the GIF, and provided many wonderful examples of how the venerable image format has matured into a platform for art, and as a source of ds106 ...
Since Inception, DS106 Radio Is TOPS! #2years #4life

“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 ...
Wishing You the Best for 2013 !!

Wishing you the very best for the coming year!! This animated GIF is made from a series of screen captures from MineCraft, where the sign for 2013 was built during the last two hours of 2012. Rather than using Lego this year (I’ve kept my previous builds for 2010, 2011, 2012 — I’m running out of blocks) this sign was built from hand-crafted sandstone blocks, and decorated with torches and hewn nether rack. Unlike the 3 previous years, where the signs where smaller than me, in this instance (relatively speaking) the sign is several times my height in the Minecraft ...
The Beginning

TweetMy second ds106 assignment was Comments for Kids. Basically, the idea behind it is to encourage kids who are blogging to keep it up. The ds106 site also give you a quality comment guide link, to a site made by a third grade class. (Can I just add here that I have no idea what to do with life when third graders are creating web content?) To start with, I went to the list of participants. I have to say, my shock level was sky high when I realized that the youngest was only six. In some ways, this entire ...
Insert Interesting Post Title Here

That sassy title is for you, Jim Groom. I told you I would try and improve my post titles. But really, I do hope this post will be interesting. I did not do a post about the Sound Effects Story my group and I made in class on Thursday. Nick, Candice and I were all set to do a boring story about a pretty typical morning routine until Jim decided to rain on our predictability parade. Our morning-themed story was pretty boring though… We listened to one example of a Sound Effects Story before we were let loose to come ...
