My first assigment picture for the Coursera Photography class from Michigan State University.

We were supposed to shoot in automatic mode, and due to lack of light and inability to change the iso (160 indoor ? Really, automatic mode ??), it's a tad bit less sharp than I wanted but the picture is extremely small on the website, ans somehow, the non-perfect sharpness gives a smooth render I like.

I'll work soon on a serie using old keys with a better overall quality intended. It's extremely fun to compose these elements and they have the most wonderful textures and colors.

An image for consideration in the Coursera E-learning and Digital Cultures competition in Week 3.

She points out that one of the most common prevailing metaphors we have about learning is the classroom. Accepting this metaphor without question limits our creativity and imagination.

Not the most glamorous of subject matters admittedly.. But my first foray into Macro photography so I thought it was worth a share. Shot with a roundflash dish above and a second speedlight off to the right to lift the shadows.

 

This was inspired by the course I am doing through MOMO (Museum of Modern Art) called 'Seeing Through Photographs' It's a free course through the 'Coursera' App and I would highly recommend it.

 

Essentially, it reminded me that when we photograph something, especially with detail like this, we are almost seeing it for the first time. Personally even though I have seen lots of pinecones, and even played with them as a child (In warm dry weather they open up.. In the cold and wet they close.. Good weather indicators!) I have never really seen one this closely before.

another cloudy cold day today so while sara's sleeping I'll have my afternoon coffee and watch some coursera courses. someone asked how I can drink coffee in the afternoon, the answer is simple. with a few pieces of chocolate stirred in. it makes it instantly better.

I had a drafting table in the corner where I now have my son's old desk. I think it will be getting some use this year. (I did this a few weeks before the start of my second year of school - taking organic chemistry, human anatomy, class on research methods as well as a couple of online classes in neuroscience via Coursera)

 

There is a lot of clutter in hear - just like in my mind. But it's interesting clutter, at least I think so.

This pic is made for the MOOC course "E-learning and Digital Cultures"

 

Some more homeworks for the course are in my blogspot: agoldzahn.blogspot.ru/search/label/EDCMOOC

We debated the top 10 tech trends last night. Each of us came up with two that were meant to be non-obvious and potentially explosively important over the next five years (this is really hard, and a bit stressful, as I have learned trying to come up with two ones each year).

 

After each of us defends our trend, the VC panelist hold up a paddle, either green for agreement or red for disagreement, and hash it out. Then the audience votes by phone. Trends and results and more photos below.

 

It was a great group this year with fun repartee. You can read the recap by Forbes or watch a video of the whole event (I revisit my 2012 predictions at minute 4:43, present trend 3 on machine learning at 29:15 and trend 8 on the rich-poor gap at 1:20:14).

 

Here are the trends, with the audience vote in brackets. The panelists split two red and two green on every trend except the last one.

 

1. EyePhones Replace iPhones [David Cowan, 60% disagree]

"Terminator Vision" enables new classes of applications that drive mobile computers closer to our cognitive pathways. Eyewear computers log our lives for robust searching, sharing and diagnostics.

 

2. The "Right Now" Economy [Venky Ganesan, 54% disagree]

Proliferation of an ubiquitous user device ("mobile"), presence of consumer web services ("cloud"), and emergence of significant analytic abilities ("big data") moves today’s consumers from a "plan ahead" economy to a "Right Now" economy.

 

3. Deus Ex Machina: Machine Learning Innervates the Tech Frontier [Steve Jurvetson, 75% agree]

Machine learning is the technology under the covers that powers many of the exciting new products that leverage big data to appear nearly magical. Imagine a Google Research approach to everything.

 

4 .The Individual Revolution [Alfred Lin, 66% disagree on obviousness]

Technology has given us indispensable tools to unlock our personal and professional potential, and enabled all of us to become global entrepreneurs. Welcome to the individual revolution.

 

5. US is the Supreme Cyber Security Force in the World and its Primary Force [George Zachary, 63% agree]

Horrific, unchecked physical terrorist incidents drive fear; citizens accept complete observation by the functions of a police state. A devastating electronic attack results in govt. militarization of major gateways and backbones of the Internet.

 

6. Cyber Warfare Becomes a Good Thing [David Cowan, 56% agree]

Cyber missions are instant, effective, relatively free, and non-lethal. Advantaged technologically, America starts dismantling conventional military forces, replacing them with cyber capabilities, completely disrupting the Defense Industry.

 

7. Certifications, Not Diplomas [Venky Ganesan, 50/50 split]

The emergence of MOOCs and other lifelong learning educational sites e.g., Coursera, Udacity, etc. on the Internet means that the future is defined less by where you went to school but more by what you know. The educational world becomes flat.

 

8. Erasing the Digital Divide Ironically Accelerates the Rich-Poor Gap [Steve Jurvetson, 70% agree]

Technology democratizes upward mobility and raises the bottom of the pyramid but stretches it into a conical spike—where an ever-shrinking percentage of people control the info economy embedded with winner-take-all network effects and power laws.

 

9. Personalized Medicine [Alfred Lin, 56% agree]

The ability to cheaply sequence genomes and analyze big data affects every aspect of medicine as we know it, from the treatment of cancer, to drug selection, to the engineering of food.

 

10. Wearable Computing is the Watch, Not the Glass [George Zachary, 59% disagree as well as the four panelists.]

The watch supplants the phone as primary display & interaction interface of the phone. Initially, it is focused on communications, messaging, social networks. The Swatch of the future is a S/W programmable watch. Health functions added over time.

This is one of my assignment for my Coursera photography course. It is a fire station near my home and I think it is beautiful to see a peaceful view of that station. I wish those firefighters always stay safe. There are two important elements I think make this photo unusual. First, the light on the top is a triangle shape. Second, the lines of the door are in the shapes of rectangular to highlight the firefighter inside. I shot this photo at a night (light contract) which also highlighted the work of firefighters.

Like '40,000', '300,000' has been cited in the news about Week 2 of the EDCMOOC course.

 

Building from my first Flickr #edcmooc Week 3 image entitled '40,000 in #edcmooc week 1', this follow-up image expands on the structural motif of the first:

 

1. 300,000 is an actual approximation of Iceland's population; EDCMOOC grew from its 40,000 of its week 1 to 8 times the size!? What are this implications of this, and progressively?

 

2. Two news items (hacker leaks and power outage) resulted from googling '300,000'.

 

3. The news item about Edinburgh's MOOC has featured several times in the EDCMOOC social media spheres.

 

4. The 40,000 1/8th box bottom-left is a simplified version of my first Flickr #edcmooc Week 3 image; visually juxtaposing and comparing Week 2's population with Week 1's.

 

5. '#OMG' symbolizes the commonly shared feeling of being overwhelmed that many have expressed of how they're coping with the course; on EDCMOOC's Discussion Fora, Facebook, Twitter, and Google+. Below it: four social media logo-icons of these suggested interfaces for EDCMOOC participants. The image was image-captured from the Coursera website and colour-inverted.

 

Like for the '40,000' image, the digital tools used to create this image:

1. Open Office create table and pdf

2. online pdf-to-jpg converter

3. Photoscape to crop.

 

There's just a little resemblance to a large bar of chocolate : )
