    Week of Jan. 22 Recap of Daily Create

    by
    I did 3 Daily Create Assignments this week. First was the photo of the manure pile that I attempted to make “heart-breakingly” beautiful. Second was the video of an object in motion. Third, and possibly most fun (even though all were enjoyable) was the spinning rugby ball picture. I really want to try to show ...

    The Deer Antler TDC

    by
    I really wanted to do today’s Daily Create, because I actually had something kind of exciting to talk about. I found a pair of deer antlers while I was out riding my horse today; while I am sure West Coasters would mock the tiny size of Virginia bucks, they are still by far the coolest ...

    Personal Cyberinfrastructure

    by
    I’ve delayed my post on my thoughts on the “Personal Cyberinfrastructure” discussion for two reasons: one, I’ve been insanely busy all week/weekend; and two, I was somewhat intimidated by trying to fully address my thoughts on the topic. We had a really intriguing discussion in class on Wednesday, during which I took quite a few ...

    Latest TDC

    by
    I was a little bit at a loss of what to photograph for the Daily Create today. The assignment was to take a picture with an interesting blur effect. I cast about my room for a few minutes and found my (slightly deflated) rugby ball under my bed. With Mike, my boyfriend and ever-willing prop ...

    Delayed Daily Create

    by
    Well I did do the Daily Create yesterday…but I was sidelined by the unfortunate reappearance of the Hover page rather than my blog page when I went to upload it. This spurred a brief panic of “WHERE HAS MY BLOG GONE? IS EVERYTHING LOST??” until Alan Levine kindly directed me to contact my host, Cast ...

    Tackling Assignment #2

    by
    Assignment #2 seems to basically consist of continued customization of our blog. I’ve downloaded the 3 recommended plugins, and the Twitter Tools gave me the most trouble. Twitter in general confounds me; why people see the need to constantly update other people (who may or may not actually care) on their life, I’ll never know. ...

    Daily Create 1/24

    by
    As soon as I saw today’s assignment for the Daily Create I got really excited…I knew exactly what I wanted to do! The assignment was to “photograph something commonly considered as ugly and make it heart-breakingly beautiful.” I’m not sure I made it heart-breakingly beautiful, but I think I improved upon it… It is a ...

    First post

    by
    Finally have figured out how to set up my blog! I’ve had some small experience with managing blogs and websites before so it wasn’t too difficult. The tutorials really helped! One thing I was a little worried about was how long it would take for the domain name to be connected to the webhost – ...
