After a scare with my hard drive that may or may not have been resolved I decided to move my blog to a more off-site publication method. I love Thingamablog‘s features, but push comes to shove I have to keep the dynamic files on my own computer and upload static pages. So … if you …

Mini Lesson 1: Flip-Its
The wait is over, behold my first mini lesson! In this lesson I show how to make a simple two frame animation known as a “flip=it.” Making this video was itself a learning experience – I expect the quality of these to improve with time. File size: 1.9 MB Length: 3:32 (The iPod version will …
