A Big Bang Theory Moment
As a quick follow up to the previous post, a clip from the first season, “The Cooper-Hofstadter Polarization,” that shows the ugly side of academics when it comes to taking credit:
happy birthday, tdc
I started with tdc6: Create an audio of two sounds not normally heard together. I created Chicken TV.
In honor of the first year, I made the gift I pictured: a short slide show of photos taken as part of the daily create along with one of my other audio projects. The prompt was to make an audio recording of using an everyday object as a musical instrument. I chose chickens and made the chicken drum circle.
Thanks to the people who work hard to make the daily create exist. You helped me be just a little bit more creative…to stop and listen and look at my world and create from the materials around me.
Friday Fun Find
A long week of work and household disarray as we try to do some fix ups before family arrives for Thanksgiving. I love working from home but it also means there is no escape from that disarray. All this is an excuse for a just-for-fun post of a remixed video of Julia Child by John Boswell from PBS Digital Studios:
Boswell’s YouTube channel is Remixes for the Soul and mostly feature science videos set to music. My tired soul feels a little bit better for finding Boswell.
The Tongue Twister Took Me Down
I had a LONG day…teaching a newbie how to use Twitter and then running a webinar. But I was determined to complete The Daily Create. I fiddled around with my SL avatar but there was too much delay. Then I found the PERFECT avatar at Voki–I am witchyrichy after all–but trying to convert the resulting swf file to something that YouTube would recognize was the obstacle I just couldn’t tackle. It is now 11 PM and I’ve made the self-preserving decision to just embed the video in a blog post that will get aggregated on the ds106 website. A bit of the fail and I’m wondering how this has become such an obsession so quickly!
