Matt Koehler and I usually have a end of semester show-case of work done by the students in our classes. This semester Matt has been teaching CEP955 (Research design and methods for educational psychology and educational technology) and I have been involved with CEP917 (Knowledge | Media | Design). The end of semester showcase is coming up on the 10th of December (from 2:00 – 3:00 PM) in 133 D & E Erickson Hall. The students this year have done some really interesting work – which I will document here, hopefully sometime next week.

We usually design a special poster for the event (below).

If you are in / or around Erickson Hall, we hope to see you there.

About face

I love finding interesting faces. I am not speaking of the ones on people (though I like interesting ones there as well) but rather the unexpected faces we find in things around us. I have been doing this for a while now and have a flickr set devoted to this. Here are...

The Brahmin connection

May 29, 2008

A funny (and yet somewhat sad) story ... So I am in Nagpur airport waiting for my flight, which had been delayed, and I struck up a conversation with a young man there, as one is wont to do. We of course started by complaining about the airlines, then moved on to...

The brilliantly twisted mind of PES

Mar 13, 2008

I discovered PES a couple of years ago when searching for examples of stop motion animation on the web. One glimpse of his work and I was smitten. Combine a prefect sense of timing and shot composition with a whimsical and surrealistic point of view and you get some...
