Alright, I didn’t write a disclaimer for any of my other posts, and I don’t plan to write one now… but let me just say that writing these was HAARRRRRRD! Usually I can just write through my “inner-critic”, but with the person whom I was describing sitting right there in front of me, every second [...]
I think this was the result of that exercise where we had to choose famous people, and then people close to us… and write a story with them both. Written in-class on 3/7. The handwriting contains lots of information lost in the blog-version, but just use your imagination… Perhaps I’ll do some scanning later… (hah)
Yeah… [...]
The wind; my throat choked, try to let it all out; trapped inside myself. The wind on my face feels fine, and the city below blinks up at me. The road is rutted, but we fly — the old Land Rover roaring up the mountain, bed and cabin full. We surge forward, each shift — [...]

a sea of plastic possibilites. I hear their call
I feel it in my hands [...]

I lay on the living room floor, legos spread out before me:
a sea of plastic possibilites. I hear their call
I feel it in my hands which seem to move of their own accord: searching, grasping, fitting.
My elbows burn as [...]
For me the first unit was about more than learning about digital stories – it was about creating the el170 space. The digital story then gave me a chance to dive in and get my proverbial hands dirty, truly experiencing the multidimensionality of writing. They helped me break through the assumptions I carry about how [...]
Digital Story v3
In my hands I see my Dad. I lay sprawled out, , the the living room floor’s soft carpet burns, rough on my elblows. I see how I have it, his love to build, to press together, to feel the order of meshing gears.
Until the gears slip, the joints crack, and the base [...]
A quick link posting page, where links can be left for later discussion, creating a newsfeed of sorts… basically what del.icio.us does, but automated. Not sure how the tags would enter into it…
Though this would be more for things like interesting blog posts, and news articles, which I’ve found difficult to have any sort of [...]
