For Valentine’s Day, Ben bought me a Bamboo tablet.  I’ve been having such fun with it.  I went ahead and cartooned Ben using Adobe Illustrator and my new tablet. This isn’t a DS106 assignment, but it totally should be. Cartoon … Continue reading →

Ben and I were thinking about our Spring Break options and we were thinking about the Catskills of New York.  Not only is it beautiful, but it’s the home of a very famous resort.  In our research, we discovered this … Continue reading →

Inspired by Ben’s Video Game Remix show, I found a Zelda Replay Value/MacGuffin visual assignment. (Ben says it’s totally worth double points) What if Link never made it to the end of the game because he became so enamored of … Continue reading →

“The latest bizarre trend blowing up Facebook mini-feeds everywhere? Cat Breading. (Think LOLcats, but with a trippy twist—each adorable kitten has been adorned with a slice of bread, which encases their little feline face.)” This cute Kitty is the victim of yet another Cat Breading.

I just started a new band (don’t worry, I’m totally not the lead singer….I get to play the drums*) and we needed a new album cover. Of course, we also needed a band name, but that’s another story. No, you really don’t want to hear about this.  Ok, if you insist. What we did was ...

You may have noticed a new look to the site. This week’s DS106 assignment was to mess with your website. I’m sure they put it much more elegantly over there, but to summarize, it was mess with your website. So … Continue reading →

Ben has finally done it.  He’s convinced me to take this crazy class online.  It’s a for real class at a university, and it’s offered free to anyone online who wants to jump in and join the chaos.  I’ve watched Ben for almost a year, live, breathe, and try to explain DS106.  Sometimes it’s humorous ...
