Tuesday, March  - the day *%@$ hit the fan. This was actually intended to be for Tuesday, the day we officially started the two weeks of video;  but given the circumstances, of *%@$ hitting the fan, I didn’t get to do it until now.  From a Friday perspective looking back at Tuesday, I still think *%@$ …

Hello DS106ers. Here are my daily creates thus far for week #9.  I’m taking this whole “don’t procrastinate this week or you’ll be sorry” very seriously.   If I get around to doing more this week, they’ll be added here. #1 – Tuesday, 3/20/12      tdc72 Antiques Roadshow.  Show and tell about a family heirloom (it …

Good morning.  Here are the daily creates for week 8 (I was calling them week 9… Spring Break threw me off), all in one blog post to make things more organized and to not blow the ds106 site up with my daily creates.  I will from here on out just make one post with all …

I remember senior year of high school reading this book, &  later watching the film, feeling entranced, disgusted, &  at times confused.  24 months later, it was on my mind again as I was sitting in the head of the Psychology Department’s office asking for her signature on my major declaration card. One Flew Over the …

The daily create for today was to “make an artistic photo that includes one of your toes!”  I feel like toes are something that have come up previously in this class…   I took this photo using my cell phone camera, and changed the settings (adjusted contrast and saturation).  I’m so amazed that cell phone …

I didn’t think we needed to do daily creates for spring break, but I did do this one. The assignment (TDC60)  was to create a circle representing how you felt that day.   ”Today doesn’t feel real. I’m in Tampa, FL, and life is goood.”  –> that’s how I felt. I created it using photoshop, using …

Last week I spent spring break in Tampa, FL and Brunswick, GA.   It was glorious, but I didn’t always have a strong internet connection, so I’m going to write a few posts about the making of JBC mystery radio show. Photo credit to Mara Cate for the pic I cropped to use for the cover …

So, this is the daily create from yesterday, I apologize for the late posting.  I have not had a steady internet connection, as I drove down to Georgia and then to Tampa Florida (in Tampa, now!). The daily create was to take a photo of an instrument that measures something.  This is a photo of …

TDC for today was to take a photo of a leap, as today is 2/29/12.  This is a photo from the Oscars in the newspaper.  I edited the colors to make him pop. (tdc52)   TDC for Tuesday was to impersonate an animal that you would be.  I would be a kitten because they have 9 …

Our group (Brian Brown, Jack Mulrey, and Chelsea Mageland) met up yesterday and did work.  We got to use the recording equipment in room 307 in Dupont, which was awesome.   The microphone was the most legitimate piece of audio recording equipment I have ever seen in real life, and I felt a little bit …

So here is the assignment, which I have copied and pasted from here:  Find a good, brief joke in a language other than your mother tongue; if you don;t know any other languages this might be a good way to start learning. Record your voice telling the joke focusing on pronunciation and try to make it …

So, for this assignment I used the song Jump Around, by House of Pain.  If you are easily annoyed by voices that are trying to sound like children, then I would recommend not listening to this one.. The song lyrics at the chorus remind me of my mom always telling me not to play on …

Today the daily create (tdc47)was to take a photo that features your favorite color. I chose this picture because I had never seen roses with so many colors.  I was so tempted to buy them, but i didn’t know if I should be spending $15 on roses for myself.  They were from Wegmans.  

So, there are a few things that I meant to put up last week that did not make it. 1 is my Valentine: and it is in response to the valentine here. 2 are the doodle notes.  I thought we were supposed to also make drawings when we were listening to how to make the …

Monday (2/13/12) – Take a photo of a food being eaten in an unconventional way.  This is yogurt being slurped up a straw.  I don’t even want to talk about it.   Tuesday (2/14/12)- Take a photo of a toy in action.    Toys change as we get older.  I played with Barbies until I …

The assignment was to “create a minimalistic travel poster for a location in film, TV series, etc. Look at these awesome examples using the various locations in the original Star Wars trilogy: http://screenrant.com/sr-pick-minimalist-star-wars-travel-posters-robf-44551/” I (am embarrassed to say this, but) made a few versions this bost (6 variations…) a poster for Narnia.  I used photoshop, of …

The assignment was to photoshop someone or something into a photo that wasn’t supposed to be there.  This was actually more difficult than I predicted.  I wanted to do something creepy (e.g. the alien from the movie Signs, or Gollum).  I did two, so it’s kind of a mini series of creatures that my friends …
