The Assignment: “For this week, you need to complete 10 stars worth of Visual Assignments — this could be doing 5 assignments rated 2 stars, etc. One of them is required by everyone, so we can all do the same one and compare our ideas, but beyond that, you get to pick the ones you want to do to complete your 10 pack.” Patty Pioneers I couldn’t figure out who sold a fast food apple! Steve Jobs is amazingly inspirational. The life he lived, while a work-a-holic and curt with others at times is still one I admire. “My ...

Bill Gates during a more modest career moment as sandwich board operator for Subway. Process: Using GIMP, I simply layered this image of Bill Gates on top of this city scape image. Finally, I scaled each layer to fit the scene and then added in this Subway advertisement for the sandwich board. Another Patty Pioneer assignment in the bag.

I’ve been having such fun with the DS106 assignment database. After going through almost every single assignment and having brief flashes of inspiration on at least half of them, I decided to jump in with another silly one. Today’s assignment is “Patty Pioneer.” To quote the directions, “Simply put, this assignment involves editing a picture of any Computer Pioneer so that it looks like they are eating/about to eat/holding a burger or similar types of fast food.” Seeing as I know just about nothing about computer pioneers, I decided to go with the first thought that popped into my little ...

Alan Kay, contemplating a object-oriented method to eating his Quintuple Beef Stacker McMileHigh with bacon, ham, fried chicken, onion rings, avocados, extra cheese and extra mayo. The Assignment: I decided to hop on the bandwagon of other classmates that have been doing “Patty Pioneers” since Adam first submitted it as a DS106 assignment. He wrote the assignment instructions as follows: Simply put, this assignment involves editing a picture of any Computer Pioneer so that it looks like they are eating/about to eat/holding a burger or similar types of fast food. The Process/Story: I am quite familiar with Adobe Photoshop since, ...

This is my first assignment Patty Pioneers. Instruction says “Simply put, this assignment involves editing a picture of any Computer Pioneer so that it looks like they are eating/about to eat/holding a burger or similar types of fast food.“ In this picture, You can see Steve Jobs is holding the ‘APPLE’ pie. and Don’t you think ‘pie’ and ‘pi’ oneer sounds similar? Anyway, I got 2 pictures from the internet. and this. Actually I am using 2 software, GIMP and Az Painter2. First, open the picture of Apple pie on Az Painter2 and cut off the white background because background ...
Fries n’ chips

Moore’s Law says something about the exponential growth of computing power. Techy people can explain it better than I. But exponential growth and supersizing are related concepts, so let’s stuff Morgan Spulock’s fries into Gordon Moore’s mouth. Apparently he has an open mouth smile, so it should be easy. How I Did It: Photoshop, and that trusty polygonal selection tool. But it didn’t look quite right just putting a fry layer on top of the face layer. I though a shadow might help. I duplicated the fry layer, used the Magic Wand to select the background, then Select – Invert ...

Charles “father of the computer” Babbage, about to enjoy some carne asada fries. Inspired by the Patty Pioneers assignment, with some prompting from @jimgroom. Found a picture of Babbage, then added some other elements – a hand, a fork, a styrofoam container, and of course, carne asada fries. Original, stronger version here.

Seymour Papert excited for some of the Colonel's finest. I just couldn’t resist the Pioneer Patty that the Tokyo ds106ers are rocking out to. How cool to make an assignment that turns a series of innovative computer mavericks into fast food fanatics in order show how much you care. My take on the assignmnet has Seymour Papert with a bucket of the Colonel’s finest. I took this image of a young Papert with his wireless Turtle robot and replaced the technology with the “patty.” I used Gimp to make the KFC bucket of chicken black and white, I scaled the ...

The only downside of introducing the ds106 model to a large group of bright, curious and creative students is that the instructor will quickly become overwhelmed with a staggering level of awesome output. I’ve already spent one incredible all-niter reading student blogs and trying to leave coherent comments. I imagine there will be a few more before the semester ends. The funny thing is, I love it. I find myself energized and inspired by this class’s enthusiasm and playfulness. I feel I need to redefine my personal ‘A – game’ standard upwards just to keep up with them. Case in ...
