Zombie Vocab – Reticent
As long as one other person is mildly amused, I might as well keep entertaining the two of us.

Mock Powerpoints
I don’t know who did it but there’s a great bad powerpoint version of the Gettysburg Address. It summarizes the points in an effective, and humorous way. The students would create the notes the speech makers would need, set the agenda etc. Everything a really bad business powerpoint user would need. This is a great way to really explore a famous speech or historical document. You’d have to really examine the document/speech, the speaker etc. The key would be NOT to have them present for real but demo the presentation to the class explaining why they chose certain aspects of the presentation etc. It’d be a lot of fun and require lots of deep processing to make it funny. I’d love to see a bad powerpoint version of Macbeth’s soliloquy or The Constitution etc.
Markov Seeds
I started to comment on Alan’s recent post but realized I needed to document this a bit better than a comment. Every so often I kick over the #ds106 Markov generator and see what comes out. Sometimes I push it on to Twitter to share with the world. en You know what I understood characters (included. You to in inner pages @IamTalkyTina is Back?

Portfolio // Data Visualization
This is meant to be a general survey of a fairly large swathe of concepts and examples with lots of links for additional specificity. I encourage you to follow links.May own pattern is to command click to open interesting looking links in new tabs as I read. I also end up with many, many open tabs. I’ve tried to also mix it with quotes from a variety of designers.I’m not doing as well with diverse representation as I’d like so if you have cool people who aren’t white men please throw them my way. Those people are also worth exploring and most links will lead you to something that will lead you down an associative trailh/t Gardner and Thought Vectors for getting me to read some of the old stuff. of links/searches.. Portfolio design considerations are grounded in many of the same design decisions that are foundational to good data visualizations. Many portfolios also include, maybe should include, elements that meet the typical definition of data visualizations although usually of small data sets.You do want to be careful about over simplifying or arbitrarily simplifying your skills into something like “The Arbitrary ‘Skills’ Chart.” Both portfolios and data visualizations can be thought of as heuristics. You’re helping people think. You’re helping them understand you, a concept, a relationship, etc. Rich content […]

It seems like a long distance romance could be the perfect kind for a zombie. It’s the up close and personal that could become a problem.
I’m finding these highly amusing!
