    September 20, 2014
    I am enjoying this season of The Wire so much more than the last season, especially because it is the same team working on the case, but it is a very different case. I like the mob and murder aspects of the mystery instead of just waiting to see if they can catch drug dealers. […]

    September 20, 2014
    So I finally got a chance to listen to the interview with Jen Ralston, from The Wire, and I really enjoyed the interview.

    September 16, 2014
    For the ds106 radio project, I think it would be really fun to explore the use of different technology in The Wire. What would the first season have looked like if the drug crew was using text messaging instead of pagers? What about if they didn’t have anything and were using human messengers? I think […]

    September 16, 2014
    For my ds106 radio bumper, I went with a techno feel. I used this sound from freesound.org  and a voice changing app on my phone to record the robot sounding “ds106 radio” and then used Audacity to put them together. I was really struggling with Audacity last night, so I hope that whatever I come up […]

    September 11, 2014
    I found the Web 2.0 chapter to be very interesting, but reading it was very strange. I don’t know quite how to explain it, but I think what he was trying to explain and then prove through examples was a argument that anyone who has ever used the internet understands on some level, even if […]

    For my third assignment of the week, I decided to take the Rock ‘n Roll ‘n GIF assignment and apply it to the season 2 episode 1 of The Wire. I  decided that the bar scene was perfect for this assignment because not only is there a band playing (The Nighthawks) but the crew from […]

    September 4, 2014
    I think so far episode 6, also titled “The Wire” has been my favorite, because for me this is where the story really became interesting. There are several characters in the series that I already felt for, like Wallace, but this episode also made me feel bad Omar, whom I didn’t think I could feel […]
