The Digital Entertainment and Content Ecosystem (wow, what a name) has announced a consortium that will put the customer at the center of the content universe. Well, isn't that nice of them? It is headed by Sony (uh oh), which as everyone knows has been at the forefront of open technologies and interoperability. Not.

If Apple and Amazon aren't on board (and they aren't), this will go nowhere...

The analog soul for a digital world. This is home to nostatic, creative thinking and disruptive technologies. We love to solve problems and we love to create. Here you'll find information and examples of both.

We're interested in engaging a wide variety of projects related to digital media, education, training, and marketing. Among other things, we believe that stories are immersive and aesthetic is important. We can leverage the resources and expertise of a large University community, as well as commercial partners in the game, entertainment, and technology industries.

If you have challenges that touch digital media, contact us.

This "living book" is an attempt to discuss viral media with an eye towards the ways that virality can be leveraged (or not) for the Open Education Resources movement. Comments encouraged.

Digital changes everything. Yet simply being first to act is not enough to realize success. You need a solid grasp of the implications and permutations to transform your work and keep pace with the ferocious rate of change. Old models are constantly in flux. Today's paradigm is tomorrow's cliché. The digital world is never static. Neither are we.

in order to understand it, you must be a practitioner

This is part of what differentiates nostatic from the rest. Research and practice. Praxis. We don't just think about digital media - we create, recreate, participate, remix, and contribute. This is how we develop and continually adapt our insight.

I'm Todd Richmond - the heart of nostatic. I earned a Ph.D. from Caltech, working at the forefront of protein engineering as a graduate student, postdoctoral fellow at UCSF, and faculty at the Claremont Colleges. I moved into the digital realm via chemistry but soon found that the shift reverberated far beyond traditional science. In the late 90's I was using online tools and capabilities in my courses and research and training other faculty in digital audio and video.

facts are easy to find, knowledge is hard to generate
