The scheduleHeadless ds106 Week 2: Getting Through Bootcamp \/ Personal Cyber Infrastructure<\/a> steps things up a wee bit.<\/p>\n

I’ve spent a fair bit of time thinking about No Digital Facelifts: Thinking the Unthinkable About Open Educational Experiences<\/a> and watched the video a couple of times (luckly my car was in the garage for an MOT and I was on the train on Thursday). I had planned, in notes and my head a fairly detailed response. As I started to write it up I searched this blog to see my previous response, it turned out I’d not really had any new ideas since DS106 Assignment 2 A personal digital space<\/a>. I would recommend anyone interested in educational technology to watch this video. It is a wonderful talk filled with rhythm and humour.<\/p>\n

I was thinking I’d manages a few daily creates this week, but looking back not as many as I thought:
\nI did manage a Keychain video<\/a>. Cris Crissman<\/a> left a nice comment about liking the line: “I don’t keep my stories locked up in my keychain.” which is what I started with when thinking the video out. Could have been better if I’d tried more than one shot.<\/p>\n

Here are my other tdcs on flickr:

My other daily creates ended up diverting me a little. I had commented on Stefanie’s wonderful Animated Skull Chain<\/a> which provided the first major diversion, blender.org – Home of the Blender 3D<\/a> I lost a good few hours on that this week, luckily the first tutorial (145 pages of pdf!) gave me the submarine daily create this week, and eventually I finished the project:

I lost most of Saturday morning on tutorial 2, getting stuck quite near the beginning. I think I’ll play with blender a bit more but might wait until I’ve a bit more time.<\/p>\n

I also left the tracks with headless ds106 portrait<\/a> ending up with a gif and now a tutorial on how I did it:
