cryptovalence » Archive » Remixed Klimt — Spot the Differences
My last spin of the remix generator gave me this assignment, which says to make subtle changes to the original work and see how easy it is to spot the differences. I used this adaptation of Gustav Klimt’s Hope II (which you should look at, because it’s a genius remix on its own). I thought the detail of the original painting would allow for making subtle changes that are actually tricky to identify. I made 8 changes, and the original is on the left, the one I altered on the right.

creepy seuss
For this four-star remixed assignment, I added some Dr. Seuss to Stella Meme’s Creepy Doll. I found her approach to the road signs reinterpretation to be very creative and decided to make “creepy dolls” out of Dr. Seuss characters. It was also a perfect remix since the original post incorporates a poem.
Lioglelephant » Keelin Dot Me
For this remix assignment, I used rdm1924g’s My Own Creation to create an advertisement for designing your own animal. The animal is a mix between a Lion, Frog, Eagle, and an Elephant so that’s where it got it’s Lioglelephant name from. I’m obviously not an advertisement expert but I think I hit the main points.

Metagames: Games About Games - Waxy.org
Over the last few years, I've been collecting examples of metagames — not the strategy of metagaming, but playable games about videogames. Most of these, like Desert Bus or Quest for the Crown, are one-joke games for a quick laugh. Others, like Cow Clicker and Upgrade Complete, are playable critiques of game mechanics. Some are even (gasp!) fun. Since I couldn't find an exhaustive list (this TV Tropes guide to "Deconstruction Games" is the closest), I thought I'd try to pull one together along with some gameplay videos. This is just a starting point, please post your additions in the comments or email me and I'll add them in. Note: I've tried to stay away from specific game parodies (like Pong Kombat or Pyst), and stick to games that comment on game design, mechanics, or culture.

Twitter, professional identity, and the 1st Amendment – Educational Insanity
On Sunday (Easter) morning, I noticed a bunch of public school educators who I follow posting religious material on Twitter. The posts ranged from a simple “He is risen!” to longer passages from the Bible to links to live streams of religious ceremonies. In response, here’s what I posted: That was a not-so-subtle nod to the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. I am not stating definitively that public school educators are in violation of that clause by tweeting scripture, but I do believe there is an argument to be made. Here’s the logic of that argument:
TEDMED: How the Power of Self-Identity Affects Your Health | Healthland | TIME.com
In a reprise of a talk originally given in March at the TED conference — the parent conference to TEDMED — attorney Bryan Stevenson discussed how his beloved grandmother used a sense of identity to motivate him to do good, telling him he was “special” and meant for great things. Stevenson said he had to promise her to “always do the right thing, even when it’s the hard thing” and, also, never to drink alcohol (she told all her grandchildren the same thing, it turned out). At 52, Stevenson still hasn’t tried alcohol and, as an attorney, has had the honor of arguing cases so frequently before the Supreme Court that at his most recent appearance, one justice asked, “You again?” In his TED talk, Stevenson said that his self-identity as a person who was meant to do good has also kept him going, even when his work fighting for death-row inmates and against mass incarceration has repeatedly left him “tired, tired, tired,” just as civil rights legend Rosa Parks had warned him it would.

A Peek Inside the Notebooks of Great Creators, from Architecture to Advertising to Street Art | Brain Pickings
The nature and origin of creativity is the subject of many a theory. But, rather than theorizing about it, wouldn’t it be great if we could just lift the lid of a great creative mind and see just how the machinery works? Well, we sort of can — by way of great creators’ private notebooks and sketchbooks, which offer a trip to as close to the creative process as we can get. After last week’s rare look at Michelangelo’s, here are five cross-disciplinary favorites, spanning everything from street art to field science.

We, Our Digital Selves, and Us (March 2012)
(An invited keynote video for the 2012 Flat Classroom Project) Our language of saying "going online" carries the connotation that we go to a different place, and with that, who we are in these places has a different identity. With the ubiquity of mobile devices, we effectively carrying the internet in our pockets, and for me, carries questions about the blurred boundary of "online" versus "offline". In this video, I would like to explore these questions, share some stories, and make some suggestions about managing our own identities versus having it managed for us.
Create Something from the Storybox (SXSWedu, March 2012)
The StoryBox is a digital time capsule that traveled over 15,000 miles around the USA and Canada. Based on the PirateBox technology, it is a self-contained digital exchange that advertises itself via a local ad hoc wireless network. People in the vicinity have the ability to upload and share content and download any digital files; but since it is not on the Internet, the only place to interact with it is while in its vicinity. In my travels I collected over 1000 photos, videos, audio recordings and other digital ephemera that provide a snapshot of life in North America during 2011. The interactive part will be a challenge to create a remix or new content based on what is store on it already. What story can you tell?
Culture of Openness Panel (March 2012, SXSWedu)
audio recording and notes from a panel discussion I participated on at SXSWedu, Developing a Culture of Openness where I appeared with Jim Groom, Karen Fasimpaur, and Philipp Schmidt The open digital world is characterized by its allowance of free widespread and effortless sharing.Sharing can make our lives richer and more meaningful; as individuals, educators and members of society. Yet only a small portion of the general population, to include the educational community specifically, actively shares in the digital realm. While some lack the time or inclination, others remain unconvinced of the benefits and several are still concerned about negative consequences. What are the benefits of sharing? How can a culture of sharing be developed in schools and in society at large? What is your favorite example of how sharing has made your life better? We’ll explore these questions and more in this interactive discussion session.

Rizzoma.com — Communicate and Collaborate in Real-Time
Email and IM are linear contextless communication tools. Messages pile up and get lost or become redundant. There's no way to keep track of who replied to what, or which version of the conversation is the newest. Even if you sort or organize your local copy, no one else benefits from your work. Rizzoma is different. It's a collaborative tool that tracks the context of your conversation automatically, allowing you to grow a conversation wherever you need and keep track of all the changes and additions in one place. Rizzoma also helps information stay organized by allowing you to structure your documents in ways that make sense to you.
