Well hello again!  I hope everyone’s week three ended well.  This was a whirlwind week for me, with tons of assignments in all of my classes.  But I’m not here to talk about that.  I’m here to talk about The Wire and digital storytelling, so let’s get into it. I guess I should start with […]

            I had posted this in my weekly posts, but I wanted this to be filed separately in the assignments category, you know, so it’s easier to find and all.  

Here is another repost of an assignment so that I can file it away all nice and tidy.  If you would like to see the write up about this assignment, check it out right here.   This was my submission for the Visual Assignment “Triple Troll Quote”.  Enjoy!

Hey guys!  Here is my submission for today’s daily create.  I was super excited about this one today, and then things got hectic and I almost ended up forgetting about it!  As a disclaimer: I did not invent this, I just drew it.  I actually have a shirt with something similar on it.  I have […]

  My normal daily routine is to wake up to a blaring alarm, and then sleep for another 20 minutes or so.  After that, I slowly get up, check my emails, and resentfully take a shower.  This morning, I saw the daily create email and instantly knew this is what I would be submitting.  I […]

Before The Wire, Omar was a biology professor at a small community college in Colorado.  He had spent some time in prison for an undisclosed white-collar crime, and had gotten his teaching license in the clink.  Unfortunately, Omar couldn’t support himself on the measly salary of a professor.  Thus, he was forced to turn to […]

Well well well…Week two has come and gone already.  At this rate, the semester will be over in, what, 13 weeks?  Jeez… For this weeks assignment, I decided to focus on breaking down episode 12 of The Wire: “Cleaning Up.”  This episode sets so many plot elements in play that are crucial for the end […]

In further setting up my blog (using menus and being organized for a change) I am posting these to my blog.  I had previously only uploaded these to the individual sites required, such as Flickr, SoundCloud, etc.  Here we go! 9/7/14: Tech Confession     9/2/14: My Logo     9/1/14: The Other Side…   […]

I was looking through the assignment bank and came across an audio assignment that just seemed too good to wait for.  Play a mystery song in reverse and leave clues as to what it is.  Every body has either heard of or has done this at some point.  Stories abound of the infamous satanic vocals […]

Well that went by quick!  Intro weeks always seem to fly by, but this one even more so.  This week in ds106, we were tasked with blitzkrieg-ing the world of social media, as well as catching up on episodes of “The Wire”.  Just as an aside before my recap, I have to say that I […]
