Blogger Fodder: What It Means to Be Human
David Byrne is a rad, rad dude. Back in the late 70s and then into the 80s and 90s he was part of the seminal art-punk-new-wave group, Talking Heads.
And then later he did a ton of other cool stuff.
He got kind of obsessed with PowerPoint for a while, seeing it as a way to create powerful art if only it was used to do so. He really hates slideshows. Here he talks about technology.
But this came across my Twitter feed and got me thinking a lot about visual note taking and our relationships with our stuff and others around us and . . . well . . what do you think?

Blogger Fodder: "Red Bull Stratos - The Full Story"
Last year, a couple of classes followed the story of Felix Baumgartner and his journey skyward.
On Friday, January 31st, 2014, the GoPro footage of the event was released.
Watch this. Think about maybe grabbing a quote and responding to it.

Blogger Fodder: Short Film: "End of Dates"
Some silly fun. And aliens. And stuff blowing up.
And . . . some pretty fantastic storytelling here, too. Why do we care about this guy? I mean, I do. I'm thinking others would, too. And there are a few twists here on what we usually expect from this sort of relationship, as well.
What do you folks think? Could you make something like this?

Blogger Fodder: Old People, Young People, Music & Pete Seeger
This letter to the editor in The Daily Bulldog this week raises some interesting points about the relationship between adults and teenagers in our communities.
What do you folks think?
Could make an interesting post.

BTW, who is Pete Seeger? Just one of the most important voices in American music. Ever.
