gifmovie – 106 drop in

Giffing the open range

Yesterday I read a great post on open which included this point:

Focusing on simple cost-benefit analysis models neglects the creative, fun and serendipitous aspects of openness and, ultimately, this is what keeps us learning.

The Cost of Freedom – The Open World | Open World

and noticed in Lorna’s twitter stream:

Very interesting collection, copyright information is very vague though. Why not use @creativecommons licences? https://t.co/Hffe8PpisQ

Which took me to: New York Public Library Invites a Deep Digital Dive – The New York Times

And on to:
Public Domain Collections: Free to Share & Reuse | The New York Public Library

where I searched:
Search results – “cowboy” – NYPL Digital Collections

And followed:

Cowboys on the range–an autumn beef roundup, Montana, U.S.A. – NYPL Digital Collections

Which linked to:

Step 2 CREATE : Stereogranimator

And so:

Using Freesound.org – “The Only Harmonica in The West” by IrishCinema and my Gifmovie plugin which Mariana’s post: Riding to Western 106 country reminded me of.

A little Fun and Serendipity on a rainy afternoon.

Gifs begin where words leave off

A quick gif with audio. A warm up watching Hammer into Anvil. An interesting episode, no escape attempts but a moral crusade by Number 6 and a battle of minds with Number 2.

More fist fights and physical action than most of the episodes so far, kosho looks like fun.

Another ds106 Assignments: Animating #Prisoner106 for an early 2 credits.

After all the commotion last night I was surprised to hear from the General this morning. She asked me to set up a new club. I was even more surprised to here the general taking over the morning announcements.

You should be able to hear the talk by clicking the image above, in case you can’t here is the transcript:

Good morning villagers, This is the General. Before we start today’s program of music there is some news and an announcement. The loud bang heard yesterday evening should not cause concern, and we strongly recommend you do not ask any questions about it. The Speed Learn program has been suspended and we are initiating a Group Learn project in it’s place. The Group learn project will start with the Village Web Club. Villagers are invited to join the club and learn together. This new style of learning requires no previous knowledge on the part of learners. There will be no teachers, no Guru and no method. Check out http://tinyurl.com/ds106club to find out more.

I’ve already got an account on the club, my home page is up.

The Village Web Club gives some basic information to get villagers started with the basics, as the general says we can all help each other get going. I hope the club will be popular as I suspect we can get some credits using it. Some people have also started a rumour that beneath the club there may be secret layers out of the Rover’s way. I am not going to discuss that here.
