That just in from UBUWEB:
In the first programme of a major new arts strand, Ben Lewis’s amusing odyssey delves into the world of the planet’s most influential photographer, Andreas Gursky. Trying to find out what makes Gursky tick, Lewis’s bizarre journey takes him on an adventure from Reading to Dusseldorf. When he meets finally his [...]

Let me be frank here, I love the bava, I do, I love the little fucker. And I pretty much say whatever I want on it, and really could care less about the consequences. It’s my little space to create and have fun, and I seldom, if ever, wield [...]
I just wanted to applaud Tony Hirst and Joss Winn for the amazing work they are doing with Write to Reply. These two British cats did nothing short of re-imagine the possibilities for an open, accessible discourse around documents that are made available for public review. What they have effectively done is create a site [...]
EDUPUNK Battle Royale, Part 2
Thanks to Gerry Bayne for turning this around so quick —I think the next three videos will be coming out sooner than later. I just saw this for the first time minutes ago, and I have to say that this is where Gardner and I really start to dig deep into [...]
Another State of Mind, part 6 Note: the sound on the video is out of sync, which is annoying, so all the more reason to get the whole thing and just watch it.
As a follow-up to the Heavy Metal Parking Lot post, here’s my favorite punk documentary of the 80s, Another State of Mind (1984). [...]
I just came across the above video featuring a scene from Heavy Metal Parking Lot (1986), which is a cult classic documentary about Heavy Metal in the 80s that I had never heard of. How in God’s name did I miss this? I may have to rent this on Netflix along with Decline of Western [...]
Now let me be clear about this before I get started, the horror of step-parents is by no means particular to the 1980s. If one thinks about it for a bit, other examples throughout the Western canon of literature and film come to mind, like Hamlet’s King Claudius or Cinderella’s wicked step-mother or even my [...]
While scanning UMW Blogs this morning, I came across the above blog post which I have to believe is referencing CogDogRoo’s Story Tools. And while we push the Dog’s “50 Ways to Tell a Digital Story” like crack around UMW, what’s remarkable to me is that none of us here in DTLT talked with the [...]

At the EDUCAUSE main conference in Orlando this past October, Gerry Bayne asked Gardner and I if we would be interested in sitting down to discuss the finer points of EDUPUNK. I was thrilled about the [...]
I just got through watching a sixteen part “YouTube series” featuring clips of Rod Serling teaching a course at Ithaca College during the late 60s or early 70s. Gardner mentioned this to me during my first week at UMW more than three years ago, and I finally got around to watching it in its entirety. [...]
