Welcome to Loglan.org Tell a story with QR codes In previous posts, I’ve described the basic elements of QR codes and some ways that QR codes can be used in education and in workplace training. Free QR code generators and readers abound and some general QR code tools can be found in this resource collection I created using Trailmeme. You can also find more guidance about using QR codes on this tip sheet created by the Webbmedia Group. QR codes and storytelling activities In addition to the uses I’ve described in previous posts, QR codes can be integrated into a larger instructional strategy that incorporates game play and storytelling. QR codes: the story doorway QR codes are a fun way to get learners to explore stories in non-traditional locations.This technique was used for two science fiction movies, District 9 and Inception (both great movies). QR codes as part of alternative reality games (ARG) In other scenarios designed to promote learning, QR codes can be used as part of an Alternative Reality Game (ARG). Like this: Like Loading...

My Galaxies How do I create an .iso image? You can of course automate this... If you are using Tiger, you can very easily create a shell script in automator to have a 'green button' version of tgage's solution. 1. 4. 7. When you run the script, you will see your CD/DVD unmount then you will know the process is finished as the CD/DVD will be remounted again. The only caveat is that you must have the same drives mounted when you run the script as you did when you issued the drutil status command, otherwise the disk number of the CD/DVD drive will be different and the whole thing won't work for you. If anyone knows how to determine the disk number in the script to get around this caveat, then I think we have a complete solution....

ZooBorns » Podcast Conlangery Podcast January 21, 2013 by admin It took us two tries, but we managed to record an episode focusing entirely on tone systems. Learn about how tonal languages work, how they develop historically, and a few little bits you can play with. Top of Show Greeting: Frenkisch Links and Resources: Feedback: Email: Hi George & co After several months, I have finally caught up with all the Conlangery podcasts. Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Ithkuil A phrase in the original version of Ithkuil, rendered in native script. Romanization: Oumpeá äx’ääļuktëx. Translation: "On the contrary, I think it may turn out that this rugged mountain range trails off at some point." Ithkuil is a constructed language created by John Quijada, designed to express deeper levels of human cognition briefly yet overtly and clearly, particularly with regard to human categorization. The many examples from the original grammar book[2] show that a message, like a meaningful phrase or a sentence, can usually be expressed in Ithkuil with fewer sounds, or lexically distinct speech-elements, than in natural human languages. In 2004[3] — and again in 2009[4] with its offshoot Ilaksh — Ithkuil was featured in the Russian-language popular science and IT-technology magazine Computerra. The second "definitive (or 'official')" revision is a major revision that was released on 15 July 2011 and is also named Ithkuil out of convenience and continuity. Outline[edit] audio

List of The Muppet Show episodes This is a complete listing of episodes of the live-action/puppet television series The Muppet Show. 120 episodes were produced in the UK between 1976 and 1980, plus two pilot episodes, making 122, one from 1974, the other from 1975. There is no set "broadcast order" for the episodes as they were shown in different orders in different parts of the US, and also the world.[1] Additionally, the UK broadcasts featured extra scenes that were not seen on US TV.[1] For the Season One DVD box set that was released in 2005, Buena Vista Home Entertainment placed the episodes in the order they were produced, rather than aired, for this very reason.[1] The set also includes the longer UK versions of each of the episodes,[1] though six song sequences were cut from the set due to licensing issues.[further explanation needed] The table below lists episodes based on their "initial airing". Pilot (1974–1975)[edit] Series 1 (1976–1977)[edit] Series 2 (1977–1978)[edit] Series 3 (1978–1979)[edit]
